What really happens when two founders hit record?
Welcome to OnlyFounders, the unfiltered podcast where Anne Gillaspie and Matt Lo—two wildly different founders with wildly good chemistry—let you eavesdrop on the conversations that usually happen behind closed doors.
From the brand therapist brain of Anne (Fix & Form) to the tech-obsessed mind of Matt (ChipBot), these are the deep dives, off-the-rails riffs, and philosophical rabbit holes that business owners crave but rarely get. Think of it as your morning coffee with two founders who aren’t afraid to disagree, throw a little shade, and get real about the humanity and science of building things that last.
Business. Branding. Technology. Psychology. Strategy. Swearing. It’s all on the table.
Grab your mug. You’re invited.

066: Is AI Killing SaaS? The Builder Bug and Why Execution Beats Planning
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Matt and Anne dive deep into the rapidly shifting landscape of software development and how AI is empowering non-technical founders to build their own bespoke solutions. They discuss the current headwinds facing the SaaS market , the addictive nature of the "builder bug" , and why relying on common sense and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) can bridge the coding experience gap. Finally, they explore the ultimate dividing line in business today: why those who execute and ship quickly will outpace those who get stuck in endless loops of overthinking and planning.
🚨 Stuff You’ll Want to Remember:
- "For the folks that know what they're doing, AI is is an accelerator. And for the folks that have no no idea, AI is a detriment to their future." — Matt
- "At the core minimum, you need common sense to build up the experience gap that you have." — Matt
- "Don't let coaching stall the doing... you don't need coaching. You don't need more thinking. You need to just go do and go execute." — Anne
- "That information value is gone now. So what is remaining? Your ability to execute." — Matt
