About This Conference
SaaS North 2022 in Ottawa
SaaS North 2022 returned to Ottawa as Canada's largest SaaS conference, gathering 2,000+ founders, operators, and investors at the Shaw Centre. The event marked a strong post-pandemic comeback for the Canadian SaaS community, with in-person networking, keynotes, and pitch competitions that highlighted the resilience and growth of Canada's software ecosystem.
Navigating the 2022 Market Shift
With SaaS valuations recalibrating throughout 2022, SaaS North sessions tackled the shift from growth-at-all-costs to efficient, profitable scaling. Canadian founders shared strategies for managing burn rate, extending runway, and maintaining growth in a tightening funding environment. The timing made this edition particularly valuable for operators rethinking their path to profitability.
Canadian SaaS Ecosystem and Cross-Border Growth
SaaS North 2022 showcased the unique advantages of building SaaS in Canada — from SR&ED tax credits and competitive talent costs to proximity to the US market. Sessions addressed cross-border expansion, selling in USD while operating in CAD, and leveraging Canadian VCs like OMERS Ventures, BDC Capital, and Inovia Capital for growth-stage funding.
