to answer 1. most of these SAAS are micro-companies or leisure based as some would say. they operate in non-VC territory. You're basically looking at markets that are 10K - maybe 100M at the high end. VC's are playing the high stakes game. ie gunning for markets in the 100B+ range. with regards, to diversity, it being mentioned, doesn't make sense. I say this as a minority individual, because I'm fairly certain the organizers, wouldn't be say in some circles where they can meet those individuals operating the companies e.g there's probably tons of individuals in africa | south america etc operating these small micro-saas. but they don't even know the term or are bothered to do so.
