At Echelon Philippines 2025, a fireside chat featuring Patrick Gentry, Co-Founder and CEO of Sprout Solutions, and moderated by Artie Lopez, Co-Founder and Startup Coach at Brainsparks, explored the evolving future of SaaS in Southeast Asia.
Gentry described “SaaS 2.0” as a shift from traditional subscription models toward outcome-driven software, where companies charge based on features and results rather than fixed subscriptions. While businesses will always rely on software, the delivery model is rapidly changing with cloud infrastructure and AI shaping the next generation of products.
He also noted that SaaS in the Philippines remains nascent, with limited exposure to global best practices for building and scaling software businesses.
