Overview
AI powers the product, but it does not guarantee adoption.
AI-native SaaS companies are shipping faster than ever. But without the right signals, you are building on assumptions. The products that actually stick are not necessarily the most sophisticated. They are the ones where the team understands exactly which user behaviours separate a customer who stays and expands from one who churns in the first week. That understanding does not come from the product itself. It comes from the data layer underneath it.
This panel brings together a senior leader who knows firsthand what it takes to build and scale analytics inside an AI-native product, a VC investing in the AI companies shaping the next wave of SaaS, a Google technologist powering the tooling behind modern product analytics, and the data partner helping teams fast-track their path from raw behaviour to business impact. Together they will talk honestly about what it actually takes to drive long-term adoption and revenue.
Discussion Topics
The Adoption Gap: Why most AI SaaS products have strong activation numbers and weak retention, and what the data usually reveals when you dig into it.
Signals Before the Storm: How to identify the user behaviours that predict retention long before the renewal conversation happens.
What Investors Actually Look For: Beyond MRR and churn rate, how analytics maturity and data strategy influence investment decisions and valuation.
The Tracking Problem: Why most teams are making decisions on incomplete or unreliable data, and how to fix it without stopping the product roadmap.
From Insight to Roadmap: How to close the loop between what the data says and what gets built next, without creating analysis paralysis or slowing the team down.
