This was crazy. Thanks Luke and Greg for the sip. In case anyone is wondering, these prompts were used: "Tell me about the market size and the you know in the United States for machine shops" "Walk me through what a machine shop operation would look like end to end" "Tell me what software solutions are prevalent in the machine shop industry and can you tie those back to the end-to-end process" "Please identify areas where machine shops are using a myriad of horizontal solutions (horizontal software solutions)" "What areas of machine shops are still being run on pen and paper" "Which areas are machine shops not leveraging AI" "These are all really great ideas. I honestly can't believe it. My issue is I don't know if these are validated ideas. I was thinking of going to machine shops to get their feedback IRL but I hope you can save me a trip. Validate these ideas for me."
One of the better episodes, filled with actually useful business advice, in place of the usual over hyped AI solo gurus, and you call it a BORING episode 😅
I stumbled on this video while doing some research on Vertical Saas. This intel provided another jump start; it got the juices flowing once again. Ain’t nothing boring here 😅. Thank you!
Stuck until the end :) Thanks for another great interview! Golden areas to focus on: Increase Revenue Decrease Cost Reduce Customer Churn Maintain Compliance
Wow, just followed along the GPT part and it gave me a great place to start looking, and since I just exited the industry I am looking to build the SaaS for after 36yrs in it, it validated exactly what I was thinking in general and then zeroed in on opportunity existing from horizontal to vertical and pen and paper. Gonna have to get Lukes Bible now, this was what I needed before I spent $$ on that. After I finish this video anyway.
Video starts with "why vertical SaaS", unfortunately skipping over what vertical SaaS even is until being vaguely mentioned 13 minutes in. If you were confused as me, there is an a16z article on "vertical operating systems" that I enjoyed.
Validating ideas by directly interacting with businesses is invaluable. Real world insights can lead to better product market fit and drive innovation in ways research alone cannot.
I am really grateful for your content Greg. Even those who claim to be SaaS 'gurus' do not make content as valuable as yours. I just have a question. I am not from US but wanna target US business for my vertical SaaS business, what should I do? where should I find them?
🤑 I feel the same way after watching HGTV. But much better and accessible to anyone. You just want to go and do it. Already planning how to apply on my saas ventures. Great pod
Hey Greg , very good video ! I was wondering if I can help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and make Highly Engaging Thumbnails which will help your videos to get more views and engagement . Please let me know what do you think ?
My Shiny Object Syndrome reached to it's maximum level after watching this video -- I love Luke. Btw, I am doing your 0-10M challenge in Public. Just posted my first youtube video doing step 1. Excited to show the world that the Greg Isenberg formula works 🎉

100%
Agreed this was my fav episode

As someone who helped launch a medical device machine shop less than a year ago, this is not only spot on but also extremely exciting to learn about!
The episode was quite boring and focused, but that's actually what made it great. It was insightful and very helpful.
thank you!
Massively useful. Ive never taken so many notes from watching anything on youtube.
Thank you!
mission accomplished
Stuck until the end :)

Hey really enjoying this video and the energy that was put in and I love how the RUclips community shows love on people chasing their dreams
Incredible value in this episode. I hung on every word. No BS pure gold

Yet another fantastic video.
Any chance we could get the "Master Industry List" or other such documents shared? (probably a sick lead magnet tbh)
He said he has a news letter you can join and also a book: The Vertical Saas Bible. Start there
Thanks to both of you for this!
This is actually super transferrable to other industries, meaning not just software (hint: it's what my team and I primarily do haha)
Thats interesting. Would you mind to elaborate?
Nothing boring about stacking millions vertically. Sip and stack!
sipnstack sipnstack
This is less of a SIP and more of a CHUG.
Cheers for the banger episode. ✌️
chug!
So cool have watched this twice.
Can we access the presentations shared by Luke.
The guy is a genius
"Aha" moment video!!!
the best
Hands down, this video got my neurons dancing!
I am really grateful for your content Greg. Even those who claim to be SaaS 'gurus' do not make content as valuable as yours. I just have a question. I am not from US but wanna target US business for my vertical SaaS business, what should I do? where should I find them?
Where can we find the “ master industry list” that he talks about in this video ?
Can we get the list he used in the video?
He said he has a news letter you can join and also a book: The Vertical Saas Bible. Start there
Who else thinks the best businesses are the ones we sleep on? Vertical SaaS = Hidden gold mine! ⛏💡
What are your thoughts on ChatGPT vs. Claude for examples like the video had
35:40 "You can have a great product, but a great product without users is a shitty product. You know that better than anybody Greg." LMAO DUDE
What is a pnl? Unless I heard it wrong😅
Also, this pricing model is called Value-Based Pricing, iirc!
By the way your description says find Nick but his name is Luke
good call, just edited!
what software do u use to record interview and have screenshare?
riverside.fm
How to get info about pandl detailes like what software they spend money on? Even if u ask friend banker isnt it confidential ?
🤑 I feel the same way after watching HGTV. But much better and accessible to anyone.
You just want to go and do it.
Already planning how to apply on my saas ventures.
Great pod
Boring! Heck no. This was a gold mine. The video got me thinking. Thank you both.
mission accomplished
