Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at SaaStr Fund?
Jason Lemkin serves as Managing Director and makes final investment decisions. He co-founded Echosign, which Adobe acquired, and was an early operator at multiple B2B startups before launching the SaaStr media platform and its associated fund. The firm does not operate with a large partnership committee.
How does SaaStr Fund source proprietary deal flow?
The fund draws almost all of its pipeline from the SaaStr community ecosystem — a combination of the SaaStr Annual conference, regional meetups, and an online content platform that reaches roughly 50,000 founders. Many portfolio-company relationships begin informally through community participation years before a formal fundraise.
Is SaaStr Fund structured as a standalone firm or part of a larger entity?
SaaStr Fund is a legally separate venture capital vehicle but is closely integrated with the SaaStr media, content, and events business. The fund leverages the community's brand and sourcing engine, but it operates with its own limited partners and investment mandate distinct from the operating business.
Which sectors does SaaStr Fund explicitly focus on?
The fund invests exclusively in B2B enterprise SaaS. Known portfolio companies span verticals including CRM and sales engagement (Pipedrive, SalesLoft, Outreach), HR and recruiting technology (Greenhouse), and customer experience (Talkdesk). It does not invest in consumer internet, hardware, or non-SaaS enterprise models.
