2024 VSaaS Legends

We recently hosted our second annual VSaaS Legends event, which brings together the best Vertical SaaS executives who believe in the power of sharing ideas for a day of Chatham-House rules sessions. 

‍

We’re honored that the below friends of Tidemark, including our Fellows, spent the day with us and shared their insights this year: 

‍

Chris Comparato (former CEO of Toast) on leadership and building talent density through change.

‍

John Collison (Co-Founder & President of Stripe) and Jack Newton (Founder & CEO of Clio) on the nitty-gritty of payments and fintech for VSaaS companies.

‍

Rami Karabibar (Co-Founder & CEO of EvenUp) and Mahesh Ram (Head of AI at Zoom) on two key patterns we’re seeing in AI: 1) how AI is disrupting VSaaS by replacing labor, and 2) how VSaaS incumbents can take advantage of their existing distribution to capitalize on AI.

‍

Sam Gerstenzang (Co-Founder of Moxie) on how to 10x your take rate with a “Formation and Access” approach:  helping entrepreneurs start their businesses and providing access to key resources.

‍

Avanish Sahai (Tidemark Fellow) and Mike Rosenbaum (CEO of Guidewire) on building ecosystem gravity.

‍

Bob Solomon (Former Sr. Vice President/GM, Network and Financial Solutions at Ariba) and Bruce Johnson (Chairman of GHX) on why every VSV should have a supplier network.

‍

Ryan Davis (CEO of CINC) on why multi-stakeholder is the GOAT of VSaaS.

We’re grateful to everyone who traveled from near and far to join us for this year’s event!
