# York IE State of the Industry: Vertical SaaS & AI

Vertical SaaS is having a moment, and AI is adding fuel to the fire. 

In this edition of our State of the Industry series, we’ve brought together experienced investors and operators from Tidemark, Atomic VC and Broadlume to break down what’s working, what’s overhyped, and where the real opportunity lies.

We’ll dig into how AI is being applied within vertical software companies, which markets are moving quickest, and how founders and investors alike can take advantage of the opportunity.

Whether you’re building, backing, or advising vertical software companies, this session will offer sharp insights and real-world examples to guide your strategy.

Watch now to discuss:

- The biggest vertical SaaS opportunities (and red flags)
- How product teams are embedding AI into vertical software
- Where investors are placing bets, and where they’re pulling back
