SaaStrAIAnnual.com is back May 12-14 in the SF Bay Area — it's all about AI and AI Agents transforming B2B! We're well past the hype cycle. The founders and leaders coming aren't talking about what AI might do someday. They're showing what it's already doing to their revenue, their teams, and their products right now. You'll hear from founders who've gone AI-native and are growing 3x, 5x, even 10x faster than their competitors. Leaders who've deployed AI agents across sales, support, onboarding, and ops — and have the metrics to prove it works. CEOs who've completely rearchitected their companies around AI and came out the other side with better margins, faster growth, and smaller teams doing more than ever. We're talking: → How the best AI-native B2B companies are actually building and selling today → Real demos of AI agents replacing entire workflows, not just summarizing emails → What's working in AI pricing, AI-led go-to-market, and AI-first customer success → How founders are competing when AI agents are disrupting their own categories → The metrics that matter when your "team" is 3 humans and 20 AI agents At SaaStr, we've lived this ourselves. We replaced most of our team with AI agents, went from -19% growth to +47%, and built AI tools that have been used over 750,000 times. So this isn't theory for us. It's how we run the business every day. Whether you're a founder trying to figure out where AI agents fit in your product, a revenue leader rethinking your GTM with AI, or an operator looking to 10x output without 10x headcount — this is the one event you need to be at this year. 10,000+ B2B + AI founders, operators, and investors. Three days. The SF Bay Area. SaaStrAIAnnual.com 2026

“What commercial AI tool have you brought into your organization this month? That’s the test.” Not which tools they’ve read about on Twitter. Not which demos they’ve watched. What did they actually buy, configure, deploy, and put in front of their team — in the last 30 days. Anyone on the bleeding edge has done this repeatedly.

"The era of 'Gentle Deceleration' has ended. Your job now in 2026 is re-accelerate or fade to irrelevance. You have to re-accelerate growth. Or the markets, public or private, will just abandon you. And no one is going to buy you and save the day."

"It's just easier to work with AI agents than most humans. Not always easy. But net net ... easier. Not better in every way. Not a perfect replacement. Not without real costs and real limits. But easier."

"We now have 1.25 humans in sales and 20+ AI Agents. And we're doing about 140% of last year. Is it all better? No. I'd love to hire 2+ great humans. Today. But we don't need mediocre ones anymore." @jasonlk + @lennysan

AI agents can be more objective than humans in selecting opportunities, avoiding biases like favoring clients or friends. While some overlap exists between agents, strategic use, like routing Salesforce users to Agentforce and warm leads to Artisan, can be effective. #AI #SaaS

AI development has exploded! What once took hours of frustrating debugging can now result in fully functional apps. Teams are building AI VPs of marketing that outperform humans, thanks to breakthroughs like multi-agent systems working together. . #AI #Tech #Innovation

Sam Altman just raised $110B for OpenAI, 4x the largest IPO ever. This colossal private funding dwarfs traditional IPO markets, making many wonder if the IPO window even matters anymore when a single private round can reshape the economy. #OpenAI #VentureCapital #TechNews

The 'SaaS-pocalypse' might be worse than we think. It's not about 'vibe coding,' but a loss of growth strategy. Many B2B companies look better than they are, with declining NRR and decelerating growth. #SaaS #BusinessStrategy #Tech

The coding tool market isn't what many VCs thought. While many assumed Cloud Code was dominant, one tool doubled revenue in 90 days, proving enterprise adoption and market momentum matter most. Never underestimate a big market and strong momentum. #Tech #SaaS #Business

The massive spend on cloud and LLMs is a disaster for public software companies who've captured none of it. Companies aren't turning this spend into valuable agents customers will pay for. It's a historic fail, and it's getting worse. #Software #AI #BusinessStrategy

“Cloudflare ended Q4 with 332,000 paying customers: - a record addition of ~37,000 net new customers sequentially - and a stunning 40% increase year-over-year.”

"The tool is maybe 20% of the outcome. The other 80% is how you train it, who owns it, how you segment, and whether you're willing to put in the ramp time."
