SaaStr 802: SaaS + AI: It’s Time to Move Much Faster with SaaStr CEO and Founder Jason Lemkin | The Official SaaStr Podcast: SaaS | Founders | Investors | Podwise
Jason Lemkin delivers a "tough love" message to SaaS company leaders, emphasizing the urgent need to accelerate their adoption of AI to remain competitive. He argues that the old software paradigms and go-to-market playbooks are aging out, and companies must "refound" themselves by reimagining their products with an AI-first approach. Lemkin highlights the increasing pressure from AI-driven competitors, the trend of vendor consolidation, and the necessity for teams to work harder and more efficiently. He urges leaders to address the "AI slow roll" within their organizations, reskill their workforce, and embrace a mindset of relentless innovation to avoid being left behind in the rapidly evolving SaaS landscape.
