Sabba Keynejad: The SaaS Playbook Is Dead
VEED co-founder and CEO Sabba Keynejad breaks down his post arguing the SaaS playbook is dead: SEO and PPC demand capture is weakening, so growth now comes from creating demand through a great first product experience and getting influencers to talk about the product. He shares that VEED attributes roughly $16K a month of revenue to his CEO socials, suggests agents could remove the software layer entirely, and argues founders should build one product exceptionally well rather than five. He teases a big VEED announcement coming in two weeks.
