6 Product Led Growth Sessions From SaaStr Annual 2021

As OpenView and many others have documented, Product Led Growth (“PLG”) is one of the dominant themes of the SaaS marketplace today.

Unsurprisingly, Product Led Growth was one of the most popular discussion topics at SaaStr Annual 2021.

If you missed out on attending SaaStr Annual 2021 – where our outdoor format earned an analogy to the “Coachella of SaaS” – or just want to understand PLG better, here are 6 sessions to study.

Analogue aspires to build the definitive OS for retro gaming

Analogue’s much-anticipated Pocket retro gaming machine will come with more than just sleek design and the ability to play tons of classic games. The device will be the first with AnalogueOS on it, an effort to make what founder Chris Taber calls the “Library of Alexandria of video games.”

“At its heart, AnalogueOS is purpose built for exploring and celebrating all of video game history. Designed to be the definitive, scholarly operating system for playing and experiencing the entire medium. Our vision is total, absolute,” said Taber. “And yes, AnalogueOS will be on every future Analogue system.”
