Our take
SaaS Group is a Nevada-based investment and acquisition company that focuses on healthy tech start-ups that want to scale up their operations to a new level. Backers of successful companies such as social media aggregator Juicer.io and sales CRM platform Pipeline CRM, SaaS Group provide insight, finance, and tips to its portfolio of founders.
SaaS Group takes a holistic approach to its portfolio, ensuring that all its investment founders can continue operating in the way that suits them, thus maintaining their independence from SaaS Group. SaaS Group’s focus on elevating start-ups came from its founders' growing awareness of the difficulty that many small companies experience when trying to scale up their operations.
SaaS Group benefits from years of its founding trio’s experiences in launching their own tech startups, whilst 2017 saw the company receive its own funding from TS Ventures. The successes of its clients and many of their statuses as securely bootstrapped are in part thanks to the attention they receive from SaaS Group, highlighting them as a much sought-after partner.
