The Future of SaaS in the AI Era: What Actually Changes | Mark Vigoroso Could AI-native tools actually marginalize the SaaS companies that have dominated enterprise technology for decades? In this episode of The Ascend Podcast ā Founder Frequency, Geetanjali Gera (Geet) speaks with Mark Vigoroso, Founder & CEO of The Enterprise Edge, about AI, SaaS, enterprise software, go-to-market strategy, customer trust, founder syndrome, and the changing rules of enterprise growth. Mark brings nearly 30 years of experience across the enterprise technology ecosystemāas a vendor, buyer, user, executive, analyst, and consultant. Today, he helps enterprise technology companies improve go-to-market execution and accelerate value realization. One of the biggest questions in the conversation is: Will AI replace traditional SaaS? AI-native tools, AI agents, vibe coding, Claude, OpenAI, and other platforms are making it possible for individuals and businesses to build capabilities that previously required packaged software. Mark does not believe SaaS disappears. Instead, he sees AI-native tools coexisting with deeply engineered, purpose-built enterprise software. Some vendors may struggle, but he does not see AI destroying the SaaS category. We also explore how go-to-market strategy is changing in the AI era. Mark describes his Catalyst model as different from traditional consulting because it combines strategy with execution. Rather than only recommending what companies should do, his team works alongside leadership and takes accountability for outcomes. In this episode: ā AI vs SaaS and the future of enterprise software ā Why SaaS companies are under pressure ā How AI is changing go-to-market strategy ā How to identify GTM failure points ā Why enterprise buyers distrust vendor content ā Why customer voices build more credibility ā Founder Syndrome as a revenue constraint ā Why founders can become growth bottlenecks ā Why enterprise buyers increasingly expect value in 90 days ā How to engineer credible 90-day proof points ā AI agents and the human + digital workforce ā Revenue Physics and Value Physics ā Building sustainable enterprise growth One major theme is the enterprise trust problem. Mark explains that vendor-created content is often viewed skeptically. He believes the strongest voice is often the customer. The most credible customer stories include real challenges, mistakes, lessons learned, and outcomes rather than polished success stories. Another major theme is Founder Syndrome. The qualities that help a founder grow a company from zero to $20M, $30M, or $40M can eventually become a headwind. Reaching the next stage may require trusting other people, changing the founderās role, and accepting that the formula that created the business may not be the one that scales it. As Mark puts it: What got you here might not be the same mix of things that will get you there. The conversation also examines the growing 90-day value mandate in enterprise technology. The central takeaway: The enterprise technology playbook is changing. Winning in the AI era will require stronger GTM execution, faster value realization, greater customer trust, and a willingness to rethink operating models built for the previous era.
