First believers in KiwiSaaS 2.0!
TL;DR:
We’ve got our first founding members (YASS!), we’re pushing on with the raise, but still need your input and support. Plus: don’t miss Movac’s AI pricing event!
🙌 Raise update: We’re off the mark!
We set our sights high to test whether our community wants this:
10 of the top 50 SaaS companies committed
$50k in annual membership by June 2025
We’re half way through our two month period for hitting our 10 and $50k targets to unlock KiwiSaaS 2.0. But we still need more of you legends to jump in. If you’re a SaaS founder or leader, now’s the time to get amongst it!
