A Product Market Fit Show | Startup Podcast for Founders

Solo Episode: B2B SaaS is dead. Here's what the best AI founders are doing instead.


Listen Later

The startup game has completely changed. If you are still building with the 2018-2022 B2B SaaS playbook, you are already behind. 

In this episode, we break down exactly how the GenAI shift has altered value creation, competition, and business models forever. This isn’t just about adding AI to your product—it’s about rethinking your entire reason to exist. 

If you want to know where the massive, uncrowded opportunities are right now (and why Service-as-Software is the next gold rush), this is your blueprint.

Why You Should Listen

  • Why "incremental value" startups are no longer fundable.
  • The 3 new threats killing your "time-to-market" moat.
  • Why the B2B SaaS playbook is dead and what’s replacing it.
  • The massive "Service-as-Software" opportunity most founders are missing.
  • Moving beyond "per seat" pricing: The new revenue models winning today.
