About Jason M. Lemkin

Jason M. Lemkin is the managing director of SaaStr Fund, a $90 million venture capital firm, and runs SaaStr, the world’s largest community for B2B/SaaS founders, drawing on prior experience as CEO of EchoSign and vice president at Adobe Systems. His investment thesis targets early-stage enterprise and SaaS companies, primarily in the seed stage, with a focus on the United States and global B2B software markets. Lemkin typically leads seed investments with check sizes consistent with a $90 million fund, often acting as the lead investor rather than a follower. Notable portfolio companies include Algolia, Talkdesk, Pipedrive, Salesloft, and RevenueCat, all successful early-stage SaaS businesses. He is widely recognized as a trusted advisor to SaaS founders and frequently publishes public insights on scaling B2B startups from $0 to $100 million in annual recurring revenue. Lemkin emphasizes operational rigor in SaaS growth and has stated that every VC fund likely has a “fraud” in its portfolio, reflecting his candid, data-driven viewpoint on venture investing.
