SaaSX provides content, tools, and events to help SaaS companies execute better and grow faster.
Our mission is to bring practical, real-world operator content and tools to SaaS founders and leaders. Not from the investor-perspective, or from the Valley-perspective. Our perspective is from the trenches of running, scaling and growing capital-efficient SaaS and software businesses.
SaaSX was founded by Justin and Anna Talerico. They currently run Beacon9, a SaaS advisory based in Nashville, Tennessee that provides strategic workshops, events and fractional executive roles for growing technology companies.

WE HELP SAAS COMPANIES GROW
We’re different because we’ve been in your shoes. We’ve been Inc 500 and 5,000. We’ve profitably built ARR from zero to $1M, to $5M, to $10M+. We’ve delivered tech-enabled services. We’ve pivoted. We’ve built sales and marketing. We’ve recruited and retained talent. We’ve raised. And we’ve successfully exited.
GROWTH-STAGE ACCELERATION
We engage with growth-stage technology companies with annual recurring revenues between $1M and $10M+. Our role is to accelerate growth. We use our experience to help SaaS leaders avoid the mistakes we’ve made and make fewer of their own.
SAAS BUSINESS EVALUATION
We work with founders, CEOs, executive teams, boards, and investors to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the company. The Beacon9 evaluation process is a great way to gain an objective perspective on the fitness and performance of your SaaS.
SAAS BUSINESS ADVISORY
We offer evaluation, planning, and execution SaaS business advisory services across the organization. Objectives may include accelerating customer acquisition; reducing churn; improving talent acquisition and retention; enhancing culture; improving institutional readiness; testing pricing and packaging; developing and accelerating product roadmaps; and more. We can help you build on your SaaS’s strengths and mitigate its weaknesses.
SAAS FOUNDERS ON CALL
One of the things we feel is wrong with many advisory or consulting relationships is that SaaS leaders often need sounding boards in the moment, rather than on some arbitrary schedule. We’ve created a program that gives our advisory clients access to us via Slack, email, and phone whenever they need us.
NASHVILLE SAAS LEADERSHIP RETREAT
Meet us in Nashville and immerse your executive team in two days of personalized, collaborative planning. Focus on strengths, weaknesses or a little of both. We work with you to build a high-value agenda with actionable outcomes. And, we’ll have some pretty good food and music too.
