INBOUND 2025 recap: AI, growth and SaaS bloat.
I went to INBOUND in San Francisco for real conversations, not surface-level handshakes, about scaling smarter with AI and replacing overpriced SaaS with Wysera (FoundersHub AI), a leaner and more affordable marketing platform.
The takeaway first, the tour after.
Three things I would tell a founder who could not make it.
Startups and agencies are drowning in SaaS bloat.
AI can help you kill tool sprawl, cut SaaS costs, launch and scale with speed, and focus only on what drives ROI.
For the past decade, I've helped businesses cut tech bloat and swap costly tools for smarter, AI-powered solutions.
Where I showed up.
The Innovation Lounge, the AI for Growth panel and two evening networking events.
Demoing Wysera, one conversation at a time.
I demoed Wysera (FoundersHub AI), an AI-first workspace that replaces enterprise CRM and marketing platforms, Clay and Zapier for workflows and enrichment, LinkedIn tools for outreach and lead tracking, and Box or Notion for docs, files and teams.
Attendees could book a 1:1 session for a quick assessment, AI opportunity mapping, an implementation strategy and next steps, and pick up a printed copy of my AI Founder's Stack guide with templates, cost comparisons and setup roadmaps.

We'll focus on your specific business challenges and identify where AI agents can have the biggest impact. You'll walk away with at least one actionable strategy you can implement immediately, regardless of whether we continue working together.
Unlike traditional automation that follows rigid rules, AI agents can handle complex decision-making, adapt to new situations, and perform tasks that typically require human judgment. This is why one agent can replace multiple team members across various functions.
No. Girish's approach focuses on solutions that can be implemented with minimal technical overhead. He specializes in no-code and low-code AI implementations that your existing team can manage without specialized AI expertise.
While in-person meetings at INBOUND are ideal, Girish also offers virtual consultations before and after the event. Just email me@gkotte.com with 'Virtual Consultation' in the subject line, and he'll arrange a time that works for you.
INBOUND 2025 takes place September 3-5, 2025, in San Francisco, CA. Girish will be available for personalized 1:1 strategy sessions throughout the event at the Innovation Lounge and various networking events.
Wysera (FoundersHub AI) is an AI-first workspace platform that replaces expensive SaaS tools like enterprise CRM platforms, Clay & Zapier, LinkedIn outreach tools, and Box/Notion. It helps businesses cut SaaS costs by 60% while scaling operations.

Yes! Girish will provide a printed copy of his 'AI Founder's Stack' guide at your 1:1 meeting. This includes AI agent templates, cost comparison guides, and implementation roadmaps you can use immediately.
