In this episode of The Vertical SaaS Podcast, host Gavin Savage sits down with Nick Tippmann, Managing Director at TipTop Ventures and founding CMO of Greenlight Guru, to unpack what it really takes to scale, stand out, and survive in the world of vertical SaaS and AI.
From scaling a medtech SaaS to tens of millions in ARR to backing the next generation of AI-native vertical products, Nick brings a rare blend of operator empathy and investor clarity. He shares the playbooks that still work, what founders get wrong about category creation, and why “AI wrappers” aren’t dead — they’re just the beginning.
