Challenges of a SaaS business in the Creator Economy
This talk will dive into the challenges of building a SaaS business focused on digital rights as they pertain to copyright. Diana will introduce the transforming digital landscape at the intersection of the creator economy and copyright regulation, and the associated opportunity for Pex, a digital rights technology company. Join us as we explore two main challenges faced by Pex: what it takes to make technical innovation a core competitive advantage, and the difficulties with disparate and non-standardized data that are needed to power the business. The learnings and approaches taken at Pex are relevant across many SaaS companies as they navigate similar challenges.
