The US GTM field trip has six tracks

Tactical learning workshop-style

The US GTM playbooks - from brand-building and selling to finding PMF and AI adoption, we have 20 hours devoted to tactical learning workshop-style on the 7-day Caravan. Deep-diving into relevant topics with experts and practitioners is one of the most valued SaaSBoomi activities.

Market-making

VC Connect, M&A Connect, and Enterprise Connect aim to match-make founders and key stakeholders of the SaaS ecosystem. It could be a Fortune 500 company who wants to assess a participating founder’s product, or a VC partner or potential acquirer who aligns with the startup’s North Star.

Braindates

Intimate networking sessions to facilitate knowledge-sharing among SaaS leaders who share common interests. The sessions will be designed for one-on-one interactions or small group discussions. The objectives are to foster learning, mentorship, partnership, and the exchange of strategies among participants.

Showcase/Group commerce

This aims to give founders opportunities to find their first customers, early adopters, or sounding boards, and get great feedback. It showcases a newly developed product or service from a startup. Visual aids and interactive elements demo the unique features, benefits, and value proposition of the product.

Inspiration & Thought Leadership

We are driven by stories. They move, inspire, and touch us in ways nothing else can. We’re organizing candid talks from leaders who have been there, done that. These will stay with founders through their entrepreneurship journeys. They will feature on the last day with a SaaSBoomi summit on the rise of India SaaS.

Bonding/Fun/Community

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! You need a peer community, a friends’ circle, with whom you connect deeply. Cricket, mixers, hikes, and dinners will form lasting relationships. We will also create an exclusive WA group for just the Caravan ‘23 attendees to stay connected beyond these 8 packed days.

Love from the Community

SaaSBOOMi is way better than any other SaaS community. The Caravan event was deep and provided tactical insights. The bonds you make with other founders over sports and informal sessions are stronger than casual networking sessions that take place at other events.

Abhijeet Vijayvergiya,

Co-founder & CEO at Nektar.ai

SaaSBOOMi’s conference got us users, investors, mentors, and most importantly, friendships. We're fortunate to have such a close-knit community primarily focused on SaaS. If I were to start my company tomorrow, I'd sign-up for SaaSBOOMi events, watch all the recordings, and then start building the company.

Anirudh Murali,

Co-Founder & CEO at Economize.cloud

SaaSBOOMi is a caring community with events tailored around all stages of a company. The network of speakers and mentors is second to none. As a founder who recently moved to the US, I found a lot of value in the sessions around US GTM and Marketing. The community is warm and approachable.

Nisarg Shah,

Co-Founder & CEO at Affable.ai

In our day-to-day lives, it is very hard to find time to meet other SaaS founders, let alone collaborate with or learn from them. SaaSBOOMi Caravan ensured we not only meet the best of folks in the ecosystem but also form real relationships that can ensure continued learning and support even when we're all back to base.

Kanika Bhalla,

Chief Growth Officer at Increff

The US can feel like a far away and lonely place during the go to market phase. You will never think that again after you meet the awesome people at SaaSBOOMi.

Kuldeep Dhankar,

Co-founder at Last9.io

If you are the looking to expand in the US, build your network, get buddies in the Bay Area; if you want to meet VCs, get insights from top Bay Area CMOs, CTOs, and engineering heads, learn about building and scaling in the US, then you must get on to the SaaSBOOMi Caravan.
