Andrew Walker interviews Marcelo Lima about the implications of AI on SaaS companies and the current market dynamics.
In this episode of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker speaks with Marcelo Lima of Heller House Capital about the "SaaSpocalypse". Marcelo shares his perspective from years of following software companies, arguing that fears around AI disrupting SaaS are overblown.
