02/14/24 • 43 min

Discover the secrets behind New Zealand's B2B SaaS industry's meteoric rise as we invite the insightful Bruce Jarvis of KiwiSaaS into the spotlight. Our conversation with Bruce peels back the layers of this high-growth sector, revealing the impressive revenue and employment statistics that mark New Zealand as a formidable player on the world stage. As we laugh over uniquely Kiwi holiday traditions, we uncover how these tech pioneers double their market presence and why their growth isn't just a trend, but a testament to their global potential.
Step into the world of KiwiSaaS with us, where Customer Experience professionals aren't just connecting but thriving in a community dedicated to elevating the SaaS landscape. Bruce walks us through the intricacies of their platform, from AI-fueled networking akin to professional speed dating, to forums and a treasure trove of resources that promise to bolster business acumen. New Zealand's tech connectivity becomes palpable as we discuss how system-based learning and collaborative discussions are not just features, but the bedrock of this burgeoning industry.
Our episode wraps with a celebration of Kiwi resilience and inventiveness in the tech arena, highlighting how companies like Les Mills are rewriting the playbook for traditional businesses with digital innovation. We don't just talk shop; we explore the Southern SaaS event and the vital skills that elevate Kiwi companies on the global stage. Moreover, we delve into the buzzing investment landscape, where New Zealand's tech sector shines bright, drawing international eyes and opening doors to revolutionary tools and platforms, emblematic of KiwiSaaS's quest to lead and inspire. Join us for this immersive journey through community, innovation, and investment in the heart of New Zealand's tech revolution.
