In this episode, David Brennan sits down with Nik Vassev, Co-Founder & CEO of Novobeing, to explore how a lean healthcare startup is using AI agents and virtual reality therapy to revolutionize patient recovery and scale faster than teams twice their size.

Nik shares how Novobeing's clinically validated VR platform is improving outcomes for hospital patients—and how his team runs GTM, PR, content, and outbound sales using a stack of custom GPTs and AI workflows.

🧠 What you'll learn:
– Why VR therapy is becoming the new standard in hospitals
– How Novobeing uses Fixer AI for inbox triage and daily ops
– Nik’s system for training GPTs to match brand voice across all content
– How to run PR without an agency using Prowly + AI
– What it takes to build an autonomous SDR that personalizes at scale

Whether you're a SaaS founder, healthcare innovator, or AI enthusiast—this is one you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of SaaS Founder Stories, I talk with Matt Verlaque, co-founder and CEO of Precision, about what it looks like to actually run your company with AI — not just use it on the side.

Matt’s team runs sales follow-up with Grain and GPT. They write code with Cursor and OpenCommit. Their lead magnet is a custom GPT, not a PDF. And every team member is expected to log how they used AI — every single day.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
→ Precision uses Cursor, Copilot, and OpenCommit for 3x faster dev
→ Sales follow-up and proposal gen are fully AI-automated
→ Their lead magnet is a custom GPT that qualifies leads in real-time
→ Internal ops are driven by Slack standups and AI-based accountability
→ AI isn’t a side tool — it’s part of every workflow, across every team

SOUND BITES
→ "You don’t get headcount until you’ve maxed out AI."
→ "I haven’t written a commit message in months — AI handles it."
→ "Our lead magnet isn’t a download. It’s a working GPT."
→ "AI isn’t just speed — it’s leverage across the whole business."

In this episode of SaaS Founder Stories, I sit down with Spencer Dusebout, founder and CEO of Aidium, to break down the internal playbook behind one of the most AI-forward companies I’ve talked to.

At Aidium, AI isn’t just a feature — it’s a rule: no department gets headcount until they’ve implemented AI. From support to QA, engineering to GTM, every team builds with tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, and Figma AI to move faster and operate lean.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
→ Support volume grew 2x — without adding reps, thanks to in-app AI
→ Engineers use Cursor + GPT to write unit tests and accelerate dev cycles
→ Figma AI and prototype prompting cut design feedback loops from weeks to hours
→ QA runs on AI test coverage — no more manual bottlenecks
→ Strategic planning, internal research, and outbound are all AI-augmented

SOUND BITES
→ "We don’t hire until we’ve implemented AI. That’s the policy."
→ "AI isn’t just writing code — it’s rewriting how we operate."
→ "Design cycles used to take two weeks. Now it happens in one meeting."
→ "We’re using AI to build faster. But we’re also using it to think faster."
