SaaS Summit

Most tech stacks are bloated relics of a pre-AI world. Jasper CEO Timothy Young unpacks how SaaS companies must rearchitect their products and customers’ workflows for an agentic future.

The collapse of the enterprise stack: SaaS in the age of AI agents

Horizontal SaaS may have dominated the last wave of tech innovation, but the future belongs to vertical SaaS platforms.

Vertical software is eating the world

Fyxer AI’s Co-founder Archie Hollingsworth, shares how his team built an AI executive assistant that’s written over 15 million replies.

Meet the SaaS leaders who've attended

AI-first workflows, composable platforms, subscription rethink, and vertical focus. Companies double down on AI to automate and personalise, breaking apps into modular pieces. Subscription models now tie price to real outcomes, and niche vertical SaaS wins by solving specific problems, not generic ones.

AI is not just a shiny feature anymore – it’s the new backbone of SaaS. If your SaaS isn’t designed around AI-first workflows and hyper-personalised experiences, you’re already behind. The era of “AI as a bolt-on” is dead.

AI-first SaaS

The future of SaaS isn’t monoliths; it’s building blocks you can snap together like digital Lego. Composable SaaS means you pick and choose the tools you need, plugging APIs into your stack without waiting for the whole vendor to deliver. SaaS businesses that become ecosystems, not just products, will scale faster and survive longer.

Plug and play

Most of us have a subscription overload – from tools we barely use to services we forgot we signed up for. Customers now want outcome-driven pricing that links cost directly to value. Usage-based, tokenised, or hybrid models are no longer experiments but essential survival strategies.

Subscription fatigue

Generic SaaS tools can only get you so far. Vertical SaaS dives deep into the unique quirks and workflows of specific industries – whether that’s healthcare, legal, or construction. The catch? Staying nimble enough to keep up with fast-changing industries while scaling like a SaaS champ.
