Welcome back to Inside SaaSBoomi, the monthly newsletter for our dear volunteers and ecosystem partners with highlights of what’s been happening at SaaSBoomi and what’s coming up.
Well, it’s that time of year again. Caravan in the Bay Area time! Dates are blocked – September 12-16. Registrations are open. And applications have started to flow in. The program team has been huddling on topics, speakers, and more. So, if you have any ideas, questions, or suggestions, we want to hear them! Reach out to Keerthi please.
June has been busy, starting with the Badminton League in Bangalore. A whole day of well-fought games with 200+ startuppers smashing it. And then came the highlight of our quarter: the three-day AI Bootcamp in Bangalore. We had 80 early-stage AI startups thrashing out topics ranging from the nitty-gritty of AI-native go-to-market strategies to paths to building something groundbreaking. You can read all about it in this heartfelt post by one of our star volunteers, Rajath KM.
We also held a bunch of Playbook roundtables:
- Women founders’ huddle in Chennai hosted by Ashwini Asokan, founder & CEO of Mad Street Den
- Building an inbound engine for your startup by Sairam Krishnan, marketing head of Atomicwork, in Gurugram
- Effective marketing strategies for growth-stage founders by Ridhi Singh, CEO of 91Ninjas, in Jaipur
Now that you got the quick recap of what we just wrapped up, here’s what’s coming up:
? SaaSBoomi Cricket League
- July 6 – Chennai
After three successful editions of the Badminton League, we’ve decided to play some cricket. But with a tennis ball. 10 overs. 7-member teams, playing 6. This is sure to be fun. Sign up here if you are keen.
