How to Scale Your B2B SaaS Brand With Sky Yang
The “Dead Internet” theory is no longer a theory. It’s happening.
I sat down with Sky Yang, founder of Imagine AI, for the first episode of my new podcast, "I Am Future Proof."
His take? As AI creates more and more content, our digital world is becoming a sea of generic noise.
So how do you stand out when everyone has the same tools?
You double down on being human.
Here’s what we covered:
☑ Authenticity is your new moat. When everyone sounds like a robot, a genuine, human voice becomes the ultimate competitive advantage. People are tired of corporate jargon; they trust real personality.
In-person matters more than ever. As the internet gets noisier, trade shows and face-to-face meetings become even more critical. Sky sees this in SF, and we see it at Paramify. Real connections close deals.
The most future-proof skill isn't technical. It’s an interpersonal connection. Your ability to build trust and communicate one-on-one is the one thing AI can't replicate.
We also talked about the single best piece of advice for any founder (The Mom Test) and the under-the-radar AI tools he uses daily.
