Relaunched: KiwiSaaS is here!
We’re back: industry-led, member-driven and focused on helping Aotearoa’s SaaS companies grow smarter and faster. We’re celebrating our relaunch with 7 Weeks of SaaSmas, showcasing more than 20 volunteer-run workshops, events and SaaSmas parties across the country. We’ve also refreshed our website and we’re now open for company memberships and community volunteers. Haere mai!
You’re invited: 7 Weeks of SaaSmas
Across the motu, we’re celebrating with practical workshops rolling out over seven weeks covering everything from growth and marketing, to legals and leader development. Online and in-person, these workshops are free for the SaaS community. KiwiSaaS members also get access to free premium in-person workshops, plus member-only Q+A with online workshop presenters. We’re connecting leaders and teams with the people, knowledge and momentum to grow globally.
Plus, from 3 November you’ll be able to check out our SaaSmas Advent calendar, featuring some of our favourite SaaS heroes. Forget chocolate - we’re serving up the best KiwiSaaS origin stories, numbers that’ll make you go “wait, WHAT?”, plot twists and the good stuff like perks, culture and random facts that will make you smile. Follow us on LinkedIn for our daily features and sign up for our newsletter on our website.
