Building Cledara has enabled me to celebrate women and shine a light on the opportunities and challenges that women face.
The world has made massive progress on equality, but there is still a long way to go. We see from our data that only six out of the 100 most popular software products are female-founded.
I’ve discovered that I’ve learned the most when I’ve followed the unconventional path. I encourage you to challenge the conventional too. You’ll very likely find it uncomfortable, but I think that going against the grain is totally worth the effort. Find the courage to speak up, share your view, and help move things forward.
Lastly, I want to thank all the amazing female founders out there. You are a huge inspiration to me, and behind what we're building at Cledara. Thanks for what you do!
Cristina Vila Vives
Founder & CEO
When I started my career, companies bought software centrally and on-premise. That was the status quo.
But in 1999, Salesforce founder Marc Benioff proved that the status quo could be better. Salesforce went on to lead the SaaS revolution, which greatly improved tech stacks for every scaling business thanks to the introduction of the cloud.
Today, customers are starting to send the message that SaaS isn’t perfect. Subscription-based software often isn’t as agile or scalable as desired. Sometimes, buyers find it very hard to strike a fair price or even cancel tools when they need to.
We believe that SaaS now has room to be better. We are building Cledara with that in mind, hoping to encourage SaaS companies to take more responsibility.
SaaS is now being built by SaaS customers—now is the time to push standards higher.
