What started as a small gathering of SaaS enthusiasts has grown into the largest SaaS community in Central and Eastern Europe. SaaStanak isn’t just an event—it’s a movement. From local meetups to one of the region’s most anticipated SaaS conferences, SaaStanak is redefining how SaaS professionals connect, share knowledge, and scale their businesses.

As Dominika Prekopova, the Czech co-founder of Startup Kitchen said: “SaaStanak is playing a key role in shaping the SaaS ecosystem across Central and Eastern Europe. Their efforts go beyond the boarders, bringing together founders, investors, and industry leaders through multiple events across the region.”

With over 20 meetups in Zagreb and events across Belgrade, Niš, Skopje, Ljubljana, and Podgorica, the SaaStanak team continues expanding, now bringing meetups to Bratislava, Wrocław, Prague, and Budapest. But the highlight of the year? SaaStanak 2025, a conference designed to push boundaries and provide CEE SaaS founders, operators, and investors with the insights they need to scale in today’s evolving landscape.
