If I Wanted to Build an AI SaaS in 2026, I’d Do This

Why watch

Dave Ebbelaar presents a three-step Service-to-Software ladder for building an AI SaaS company without outside funding: first solve one customer's problem through service (Done For Them), then collaborate to codify the solution (Done With Them), and finally deliver scalable software (Done By Them). The video targets developers and technical founders who want to validate demand before building products, emphasizing warm network outreach over cold selling and getting paid before scaling.
