Beyond the SaaS Apocalypse:

The “GenAI will kill SaaS” narrative has driven a massive derating across global software, with the market pricing in permanent growth reversion. But is this fear justified, or is the market throwing the babies out with the bathwater? Join us for a fireside chat with Deiya Pernas, CFA, co-founder of Pernas Research, as we explore whether the market is fundamentally misjudging the resilience of well-positioned SaaS companies.

What we’ll discuss:

  • Whether the SaaS sell-off reflects real disruption or narrative-driven fear
  • How to stress-test SaaS moats in the age of vibe coding and agentic AI
  • Separating the babies from the bathwater: where the real opportunities lie
