The SaaSpocalypse: Why Companies May Stop Buying Software | Episode 41

August 10, 2026·26 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of The Insurgent Mindset, Matt and Rondo unpack whether the so-called “SaaSpocalypse” is really a temporary market correction or evidence of a much deeper structural shift. They explore why companies are beginning to replace SaaS tools with AI agents and custom-built systems, how the build-versus-buy equation is changing, and why general-purpose SaaS may face more pressure than specialised solutions.The conversation also examines what incumbent software companies must do to survive, why business models may need to shift from charging per seat toward outcomes, and how CEOs should think differently about software, strategic capabilities and competitive advantage.For leaders making technology and investment decisions today, the question is no longer simply what software to buy — but what capabilities should be built, owned and evolved.--Hosted by seasoned strategy consultants Matt Tice and Rondo Moses, with a combined 50 years of experience, this podcast will challenge you to transcend the status quo and reshape how you think about and approach competing in the business marketplace.  Learn more at www.insurgencegroup.com.  Subscribe to “The Insurgent Mindset” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts or Youtube, and visit us as www.insurgencegroup.com to learn more.  Have questions or topics you’d like us to cover in a future episode?
