AI is all over their homepage and website and comms. I asked him about a particular use case for AI, and his answer shocked me a bit: Honestly, our AI is basically still in beta. ZoomInfo has rocketed to $100m in AI Copilot already. I dont know what 2025 will bring. 2025 Will Be Radically Different.
SaaStr Annual 2025 ticket sales in December: 181% of 2024 SaaStr Annual 2025 ticket sales overall so far: 156% of 2024 We'll see where we end up, but … SaaS is Back!! pic.twitter.com/5vlHiRmeCz — Jason SaaStr 2025 is May 13-15 Lemkin (@jasonlk) January 2, 2025 So one of our themes (and memes) is that SaaStr is Back.
AI is remaking so many categories, but it’s often murky exactly … how. So with that here are Your Top 10 New Years SaaS Resolutions for 2025: #1. This is your #1 lever to do better in 2025. #2. This is so much more important in 2025. You need the team sharp to retain your customers in 2025.
It’s not just AI, although that’s part of it. 78% of you see 2025 being better than 2024: In most of B2B, it may never be as easy as 2H’20 and 2021. And AI is adding so much fuel to the fire. 2025 should be (even) better. So it’s in the air. Not everywhere, not at every start-up or scale-up.
And so, Private-Equity backed SaaS companies may finally in 2025 say It’s Just Time. Genesys may be the first of a flood of these PE-backed SaaS IPOs in 2025. And now, AI is fueling more growth, as contact centers replace some of their humans with AI agents. Will it be a flood of these PE-backed IPOs in 2025?
And there is also a quiet wave of apathy in B2B outside of AI. So I’m signing up for 2025. I know, or at least I hope, many of you are building your 2025 plans now. If not, what would it take in 2025 to actually matter again? If SaaStr disappeared, would it matter? I think SaaStr itself still matters.
"Software engineers working in AI earned 48% more than the average software engineer at the company, according to a payroll spreadsheet shared with BI." But AI is challenging this. The AI Team often makes a lot more. The AI Team at many SaaS startups makes 30%-40% more. It creates issues and drama. What About You?
50 cents of compute for 500 dollars of value — Sam Altman (@sama) February 3, 2025 So just how much will AI remake classic B2B software? On the one hand, new AI-first entrants are rocketing to $10m ARR in a year. And all the leaders in SaaS are leaning in on AI, from Salesforce to Asana to HubSpot to ServiceNow and more.
AI adoption is reshaping sales and marketing. The data is clear: AI users report 47% higher productivity and an average of 12 hours saved per week. But leaders say mainstream AI tools still fall short on accuracy and business impact. But is it delivering real results? We surveyed 1,000+ GTM professionals to find out.

Salesforce, Nov 2024: We're hiring 1,000 new sales execs to sell AI! in sales to sell AI. Per The Information , Benioff has also instructed his sales team to go all-in and put AI and Agentforce into every deal possible. It’s a bit counterintuitive at first — isn’t AI replacing people? Not really.
So it’s become a thing with many founders and VCs to think how far you can go in AI today. Many of the early break out leaders in AI for B2B and otherwise have been “small but mighty teams” Honestly we’d all love it if that scaled. So that 30 person, $100m ARR AI B2B start-up? Much faster.
Even in 2025. Even with AI and Salesforces $300+ Billion market cap behind it: Lets break down a few mid things: Only 2 times to talk provided. In the age of AI.
