  • Summary

  • In this episode of SaaS Founder Stories, I sit down with Jessie Shipman, founder and CEO of Fluincy, to unpack what it really looks like to build a SaaS company alone — and compete with funded teams by making AI her co-founder.

    Jessie’s not technical. She doesn’t have a sales team. And she hasn’t raised a dollar. But she’s built a working product, a repeatable GTM motion, and a lead machine — all by using AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Copy.ai as operational teammates.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    → GitHub Copilot lets Jessie ship product changes herself
    → ChatGPT writes grant apps, blog posts, docs, and onboarding
    → Copy.ai powers deep research on 1,500+ leads
    → Custom GPTs act as lead magnets and onboarding tools
    → Fluincy is bootstrapped, solo-built, and AI-powered at every level

    SOUND BITES
    → "Copilot lets me ship changes even though I’m not a dev."
    → "AI isn’t just saving me time — it’s helping me punch way above my weight."
    → "Every part of this company runs on AI — because it has to."
    → "Being a solo founder doesn’t mean doing it all yourself. It means using the best leverage you can."

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone
