Founder at Radi8 // Executive Coach // Host of the Inspiring Founders Podcast
AI isn’t killing SaaS. It’s rewriting buyer budgets.
Founders I talk to say their product is better and still relied on, yet deals slow, expansions stall, and seats disappear. The gap is buyer priorities, not product.
Three quick moves:
1. Reframe messaging to quantify time and cost savings versus AI alternatives.
2. Offer short, low-friction pilots or outcome-based trials.
3. Publish 30-day ROI case studies to shorten evaluation cycles.
Radi8 helps founders create these assets faster and at lower cost than hiring consultants. Send me a message and I’ll reach out.
