The top nine sponsors at SaaStr AI Annual 2026 collectively generated 8,609 leads, averaging 957 leads each, the event organizer SaaStr reported. The event took place this year at the San Mateo County Event Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. The highest lead count was 1,423 by Replit, followed by Lightfield with 1,062 and Aurasell with 1,046 leads.
SaaStr shared a detailed leaderboard of sponsors ranked by the number of leads they secured during the event. Salesforce, Rippling, OpenRouter, Google for Startups, Vivun, and Lovable rounded out the top nine, with lead counts ranging from 1,027 to 605. The organizer highlighted that six of these nine sponsors surpassed 900 leads, while even the ninth-ranked sponsor generated over 600 leads.
This data underscores the effectiveness of targeted sponsorship at SaaStr AI Annual, a key event for B2B and AI companies planning their 2027 event calendars. The leaderboard also included other notable companies such as Revolut Business, Artisan, Aircall, and Vercel among the top 25 sponsors. SaaStr cautioned that many companies spread their budgets across too many events, resulting in poor lead generation, but their event demonstrated strong lead conversion for sponsors.
SaaStr AI Annual 2027, branded as "Agentfest," is scheduled for May 11-12, 2027, at the same venue, with early indications showing it is already running ahead of the 2026 event in terms of sponsor engagement and lead generation.
