Paul GrimVery good mix of bootstrapped leaders, venture-backed CEOs and public company execs. At first, it did seem that there were too many of the same speakers from prior events (eg, Chili Piper, PandaDoc, PARTech, Cognism, TimeDoctor, Cledara, etc.), but they were still good sessions. The new folks were all great additions.

And with no transition time difficult to absorb it. Also none of the table numbers lined up with the calendar events I was sent. So I didn't get to attend any of them... Met lots of cool people and had other conversations, but not the ones I was interested in.

Stefan SmuldersNathan Latka has done an excellent job of curating a tightly-knit conference. This was not the usual bla-bla about unicorns as the only existing norm in the SaaS industry, but how paths less trodden bring out outliers, and when they succeed, it inspires other founders to follow their path. No Boring Keynotes Only founders share real stories from the trenches.

Dope green room. 9/10 - Event set up: super professional; great AV teams. 9/10 - other stuff: networking is expected but speakers don’t want to get pitched in the green room. Also need to work harder to get a more diverse crowd. Why not partner/contact Black Venture Consortium or similar groups? 3/10 Overall 7/10

TJ WoodsLots of great talks, really like the 20 minute format, keeps it moving fast. Some talks are not that great, but 20 mins is fine, then the next one. Definitely a benefit over the 45+ min talks you see elsewhere. Good venue. Not too large, easy to jump from room to room. Good location in NY. Good quality wifi (this is a major plus actually, often it's terrible at events). Good food. Really liked the Nathan interviews - probably the best of the talks.
