In this episode of Biz/Dev, we talk with Runbin Dong, founder of Scale Social AI, about what it looks like to take an AI-driven business to market right now, when the SaaS playbook is shifting and “authentic” is either real or it’s noise.
We get into building with intent, investing in yourself before anyone else does, taking full ownership when things get hard, and what it really means to start from scratch without pretending you’ve got it all figured out.
Runbin shares the mindset shifts founders need in this new landscape, the traps people fall into when they chase hype, and how to build something that actually earns attention, not just clicks.
