SaaStr is a VC fund in San Francisco focused on Developer APIs and SaaS. SaaStr began in 2012 as a simple attempt via a WordPress blog, together with a few answers on Quora, to help share back Jason M.

The SaaStr Annual has become the world's largest non-vendor B2B conference.The core SaaStr long-form content first appears here on www.saastr.com, and then on Quora, as well as via syndication in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Enterprise Irregulars, and other leading media.
