The Hidden Weakness Behind Agencies | #1413

About this episode

Brandon discusses the drawbacks of agency life compared to the advantages of building in SaaS.

Brandon uncovers why he would never go back to agency life after building in SaaS. The core idea is simple: agencies scale headcount, while SaaS scales product. Agencies can generate fast cash, but they trap founders in hiring, firing, delivery, and constant chaos. SaaS is harder upfront, but creates leverage, lower marginal cost, and real compounding scale.
