About This Conference
Ascent 2024 in NYC
Ascent 2024 NYC marked the conference's most ambitious edition yet, with a multi-track program spanning two days in the heart of Manhattan. As the SaaS market began to recover, the 2024 program balanced growth-oriented strategies with the hard-won efficiency lessons of the previous two years. Founders arrived ready to scale again — but smarter this time.
Growth Meets Efficiency
The 2024 edition introduced a unique "Growth + Efficiency" track that challenged the false dichotomy between growing fast and running lean. Sessions featured founders who achieved 100%+ net revenue retention while maintaining healthy margins, operators who built self-serve funnels that complemented enterprise sales, and CFOs who designed financial models for durable growth.
AI-Native SaaS Companies
Ascent 2024 dedicated significant programming to the rise of AI-native SaaS. NYC-based founders building AI-first products shared lessons on pricing AI features, managing inference costs at scale, navigating enterprise procurement for AI tools, and building moats in a landscape where foundational model access is increasingly commoditized.
