Community
Saasu doesn’t have a foundation. Actually our latest thinking in the philanthropic area is that the world doesn’t need another foundation it’s needs less charity admin and more direct assistance to fewer charities. We are interested in (a) protecting and improving the earth (b) reducing inequality and (c) improving quality of life.
We like the idea of helping people to help themselves. We also like the idea of maximising the results of our contributions where the money is used more than just once. This also means letting charities doing the work and us concentrating on making money to help that. For now the most web visible contributions we are making can be seen on our page on kiva.org which is a great service anyone can donate to that helps residents of developing countries borrow money to start a business. The loan is usually completely repaid(!) and kiva.org then recycles it to someone else in need.
We love the work Kiva.org is doing and encourage our clients, partners and friends to support them.






Our History
Early concepts were developed in 1998-99 for a ‘purely online accounting software system’ and a company formally incorporated in 2000 by Marc Lehmann (ex Bankers Trust and Deutsche Bank) and Grant Young (Telstra, WWF, eMedia). Jusa Chin joined Saasu in January 2003 and in 2004 became our Head Developer. We had a name change from NETaccounts to Saasu.com in 2007. In mid 2007 Peter J Cooper joined as an investor and was appointed CEO for a year. On 1 July 2008 Marc Lehmann resumed as CEO. In both 2007 and 2008 Saasu was awarded Excellence in Innovation and Business Awards from CeBIT.
