Get a Jumpstart on Braindates:
Here’s everything you need to know about Braindates at SaaStr Annual this year:
Braindates are designated into 3 group sizes: 1:1’s, 1:4 Small Groups, and 1:16 Super Braindates. No matter the size of the group, each Braindate is designed for you to share knowledge and network with fellow leaders during SaaStr Annual. The goal is to help each other learn something new, find mentorships, create partnerships, and exchange strategies.
There are two ways to participate in Braindates: First, you should join an existing Braindate on a topic that catches your attention. Next, you should also create your own Braindate topic and allow other attendees to sign up and learn from you.

OK this is it! The first round of companies seeking funding went out to our trusted investors last week as part of our yearly Meet a VC program.
These meetings are double-opt in and are a great way to only connect with seriously interested Investors and Founders. Final call if you’d like your investment firm or company to be included in the last wave. Sign up as a Founder/ CEO here or as an an Investor / VC here by September 8th.
