SaaStock 2025 - 4 big topics everyone was talking about

1. Pricing AI is way harder than pricing SaaS

Classic SaaS? Infrastructure costs per user are negligible. AI? Every user query costs real money.

"Start by using the most powerful model available. You'll quickly notice that most costs come from just 5% of users. Just find a solution dedicated to those 5% of users." - Rahul Vohra, Superhuman

2. Speed beats perfection

We need to move fast. Don't aim for 99% accuracy before launch. Pick a group of trusted users. Test with them early. Tight feedback loops > flawless pipelines.

3. You need AI champions (not just data scientists)

Hiring PhDs isn't enough. AI transformation needs people inside your org who are genuinely excited about what's possible - not just focused on what's not.

4. Black boxes break trust

If your AI feels like magic, users won't trust it. Show your process. Show your sources. Let users feel like they'd make the same decision the AI made.
