Building out the security stack for our remote SaaS team

We’re a fully remote SaaS company, and our security setup has slowly grown as the team and the amount of sensitive customer data we handle have grown. Right now we use Okta for SSO and MFA, 1Password for credentials, Cloudflare Zero Trust for internal access, CrowdStrike on company laptops, GitHub for development, AWS for infrastructure, and Kibu for private team communication and trusted connections. Individually everything has a purpose, but onboarding our latest hires made me realize how ...

Illness took my freedom, so I’m thinking of building an app

I have an autoimmune disease for which there’s currently no cure (hopefully there will be something soon). Because of that, I’m at home 24/7 and I’d really like to start something of my own. I’ve been doing seasonal online work for a few years and have saved up enough money, so I have capital to invest in marketing. Starting today, I plan to dive into extensive research to come up with an idea and eventually build something out of it. I’d really appreciate any advice, ideas, or anything yo...

My technical co-founder ghosted an investor meeting on purpose as a "lesson," delivered nothing usable in ~12 months, and I rebuilt the entire product myself in 9 days. What's the actual right way to fix the equity split?

Long post. I'm too deep in this to judge it clearly and I need outside perspective, specifically on what to actually do now. -> Background: We're both around 23, same age, no seniority gap. We've been close friends for about a decade: dinners, birthdays, the whole thing. About 15 months ago I came up with the idea for our B2B AI SaaS product. I did all the concept work myself: product vision, feature structure, user flows, monetization model. Then I spent the first 1-2 months building t...

The Problem With Using AI to Build Outbound Campaigns

Now AI can launch the wrong outbound campaign faster now. If you’re not feeding it the right data, it will find the wrong prospects, write the wrong message and scale the wrong campaign. Before launching, find out: → Which companies have already bought from you? → Which companies responded positively to your previous campaigns? → What do those companies have in common? → What problem were they trying to solve? → What changed in their business before they became interested? → Who ...

How do AI founders decide which ideas are actually worth building?

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about a problem that seems common among AI builders. There are so many new AI products, tools, and ideas appearing every week. Finding ideas is easy. The harder question is: How do you decide which idea is worth spending the next few weeks or months building? What signals do you personally look at? For example: New product launches? Community discussions? User demand? Market trends? Competitor movements? I'm curious how other founder...

The future of webapps (and saas)

Im not entire sure of the thinking pattern here - hence the post for broader thoughts. With the world wide (those not in the Least developed countries list) adoption of AI tools / harnesses (claude/codex / gpt) - it got me thinking what would a business app look like in the (maybe not near term) future?🤔 While i cant see that horizon form just yet, I also cant see the world using saas apps in its current form for more than 6-8 years from now... surely it will evolve?🤔 I can appreciate tha...

How do you come up with an ideas for your SaaS?

I know it’s usually people who solve their own problems and then share it with the right community, but what if I couldn’t find any problems for myself because i already have solutions for them? Other niches are also seems to be closed for me, because I don’t know their problems as long as I’m not really into it?

It took me 148 days to earn my first dollar online

I​ made a small website using no code app builder to collect profitable micro saas ideas, I have been adding good small product manually from last year but nothing happened. 5 month back I started a channel on threads app and rebuild my website and started sharing those startup ideas on threads mostly as of now and got more than 2M views since then, in between I started a weekly newsletter and last week I got an email from cloudfare that my website has crossed 100k views in total.

Is post-call AI enough anymore?

We have been looking at AI tools for our support team over the last few months and one thing keeps bothering me, of course every tool hade its pros and cons. A lot of platforms are great at dashboards. They'll show you where agents struggled. They'll flag low CSAT calls. They'll point out compliance issues. But all of that happens after the conversation is over. By then the customer has already had a bad experience. The bigger our support volume gets the less useful that feels. Knowing we had 20...

First customer that isn't my Friend! :)

What a feeling! It has been so long since I opened Stripe that IOS decided to auto off load the application from my phone. I was checking how many visitor have I recieved today and in events saw that someone has clicked on, I open Stripe and there it is first ever real customer. 1 customer is worth 1000 visitors, this is all the validation I needed. It feels weird and amazing, and also motivating! I cannot wait to work more and scale. I wish all my SaaSers their first and many custome...

I never thought I'd be the one making a post like this, but I'm running out of time.

I don't usually post personal things online, especially not like this. If you can't help directly, maybe an upvote, a share, or pointing me toward someone who might be hiring could help this reach the right person. I'd really appreciate it. I got laid off a couple of months ago, and despite applying every day, reaching out to people, and trying just about everything I can think of, I'm down to about one month of savings . The hardest part is that I don't think I'm bad at what I do. I've...

More than once, I wondered if I was simply chasing an idea that nobody re...

This is what it feels like every time I hear "distribution is really the hard part"

Not saying distribution is super easy, but I think it is just as hard as building software. Even with AI. If you think coding is the easy part, I don't think you really understanding coding enough to building with it. I have found that anyone who says "distribution is the hard part" gives the same effort the give building an application, to distribution. Prompt and pray tactics. Just as great software is written by people who truly understand their code. Great distribution pipel...

Has implementation become a bigger differentiator than features in B2B SaaS?

I wanted to get some opinions from other SaaS founders who sell into traditional industries. We're in the field service and equipment management space, and one thing we've consistently noticed is that companies aren't really looking for "another app." They want something that fits into the systems they're already using. In conversations with prospects, we've been compared with platforms like ServiceMax, Salesforce Field Service, IFS, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and others. One thing that...

Got my first trialing customer

So i just got my first trialing cutomer for TraceGraphs that isn’t a friend or family member, im trying not to get my hopes but i can’t wait to see if they continue using it. The only issue is that i may go bankrupt from advertising first. At this rate i will be -300$ a month but is this to be expected? Or am i paying too much already? Side note: 1 user from 6 clicks seems pretty good but i will let the marketing gods of reddit answer that one.

What usually causes more rework in your SaaS: bad UI or unresolved product decisions?

I have been reviewing a product flow where several screens had already been designed well. The problem was that important behaviour around those screens was still undecided. Who owns the next action? What happens if a payment stays pending? Can a user recover something they purchased after the product is removed? Which states should support handle manually, and which should the product resolve? Each unanswered question eventually looked like a UI issue because the screen was where th...
