SaaS.
You've no doubt seen it around.
Software as a Service
You probably use it in your business.
But have you heard of Deep Tech?
That's something new, isn't it...
In this episode, I talk with Simon Small about the difference between SaaS and Deeptech, and
What makes a SaaS Business stand out.
Simon Small who you probably have never heard of, he told me to say that, has been very quiet in New Zealand since about 1999. He went on a 15 year OE.
He returned and lay very low in Queenstown but now he is back and making noise again. His past spans many careers; from theatre (writing, producing) to TV (directing, producing) to Property Development, to Corporate Governance (Software-as-a-Service with Diligent) to AI (Natural Language Generation with Arria NLG).
Recently, he’s found a new passion in helping Founder/CEOs of Deep Tech and SaaS Businesses go big. He wants all of New Zealand’s SaaS & Deep Tech companies to be performing in the top 1% of companies worldwide.
