Then explain: People care about their problems. Not your features. Not your dashboard. Not your AI.

What do you think about the launch video?

For me, it was pushing back on a deadline you know is unrealistic instead of agreeing and then missing it.

I started working on apps and website. Even though there are like 7 million app in this niche, I decided to came up with this . Soon I will be uploading to the app stores. I did this for myself so even if it flops it will be alright and a great experience

Hi I am looking for a mentor, I am founder/CEO plus leading development team. A lot of things are going on that I can’t understand. I have a lot on my plate still can do most of it but I need a guidance on setting goals, what should be prioritized in terms of business, where should this all go and many other business related things. I don’t need someone to execute things for me , all i need is guidance, a weekly schedule perhaps where mentor can review things, set a direction, help me take impo...

Hello Guys, I'm 15 years old and I have always loved business and tech. I've been wanting to build a business for a long time now and I've finally decided it's either now or never. I was thinking about Compliance Automation however I don't know much about that. I'm also very aware people will be more sceptical of me because of my age. Any other recommendations or tips? Thanks P.S I'm not one of those delusional people that thinks they'll get rich overnight from it, I know it takes time and...

I launched a consumer app called Dino four weeks ago. It helps people notice and remember the good parts of their day through a simple daily experience. Current numbers: 639 total downloads 295 weekly active users 161 daily active users 4.9 rating on the App Store We crossed 500 downloads on Wednesday and reached 639 a few days later, so growth has started picking up. What has been encouraging is that people are not just downloading it. They are coming back, sharing feedback,...

I’m building Flow State, an AI training calendar and coaching tool for endurance athletes. This weekend I got my first paid subscriber from the wild. Not a friend, not family. Someone found it and decided it was worth paying for. Tiny financially, but it feels like a real line crossed. For people who’ve been through this stage, what did you focus on right after customer #1? - figure out how they found it? - talk to them if possible? - improve onboarding? Anything you wish you’d done ...

2+ weeks to review and deny our application with no explanation given. We're in the AI roleplaying gaming space, no NSFW image generations allowed. We made sure to fully comply with all rules and regulatory terms they had. Their service support is an absolute joke.

genuine question because i feel like i'm losing my mind a little how are you actually supposed to market a b2b saas and get sales coming in directly, not in six months, now every place i go to find customers is full of other founders trying to do the exact same thing to me everywhere i show up to talking about the problem my small b2b tool solves, that helps teams collect feedback and closes the loop, one of two things happens: either the room is full of other founders who don't want to bu...

This is my first time building a SaaS. I have the MVP completed and I was looking to launch it now, get those feedbacks, reiterate and fix any bugs I get along the line. ​ But I have seen people using ProductHunt, SaaS directories and even reddit to launch their product. 98% of these cases end up with a "not so good" launch where they don't get any visibility for their SaaS. ​ If you were launching your first SaaS, what advice would you have for yourself. What wo...

Been building in this space and the thing that surprised me most is how much of good lifecycle email is suppression, not sending. Skip people who already did the action. Stop a sequence the moment someone converts. Exit on the event you were nudging toward. Get that wrong and you annoy your best users into unsubscribing. A few rules that have worked: Trigger off the behavior, not a calendar day. Always set an exit condition. Never send a "did you try X" email to someone who ...

I've been trying to build a SaaS, but I'm stuck on one thing: I just can't seem to find real problems that people have. Everyone says things like: "Talk to users." "Find pain points." "Solve your own problem." But when I talk to people, they usually say everything is fine or they don't have anything they're struggling with. How do you actually discover problems that are worth building a product around? Do you have a process for finding them? Do you...

Over the past few months I've looked at dozens of AI and B2B SaaS companies doing anywhere between $500k and $20M in revenue. Different industries. Different products. Different funding stages. But the pattern keeps repeating. The founder is the growth engine. Customers buy because: - they trust the founder - the founder speaks at conferences - the founder knows the industry - the founder opens enterprise doors - the founder explains the product better than anyone Then th...

Biggest mistake I made building a SaaS to 400+ demos was investing in a "widely popular software review platform" (you know the ones). ​ Total ROI: 0 booked demos. ​ Outcome? Getting bombarded by their own clueless sales reps who didn't even understand the software at all. ​ These platforms don't drive high-intent leads. They just hold your brand hostage behind a paywall. ​ Has anyone actually seen a positive ROI from paid tiers on these site...

Hi there, How can I move from $0 to $1? It's been more than 3 months now. This screen is hurting me every day. Please help. Thanks.

Firstly proof: https://trustmrr.com/startup/kortex-notebooklm I posted here a while ago (4-5 months back) asking for advice after multiple failures. Now it is my time to give back to the community after reaching where I wanted to be. When I was trying to get my first bit of traction, I kept hunting for those `directories` lists. Every useful one was gated behind the signup or upgrade or something and made me lose my mind. It's a weird common bait in this space and it annoyed me , so I most...

I have been cleaning up people’s code for over a year now. I have shipped 30+ MVPs and I have helped a handful of SaaS products make past six figures along the way and the code I am seeing lately feels like something I have seen before. Around 2010 people were making money by fixing the problems that cheap offshore work had created. A founder would pay a price for the work, feel happy about saving money and then eighteen months later pay someone like me to make the product actually work. It’s ...

Alright so I am a beginner programmer who is obsessed with vibecoding since I got my hands on it, but struggle to get an idea to build something I could actually sell or make money off of, I tried TikTok automation which wasn't the best but might go back to that. anyways people that have successfully built businesses or products people pay for, how do you guys get the ideas or inspiration basically.

I Made My First $50 Online With a Product I Almost Forgot About 🎉 ​ It finally happened. ​ My first product, TextBehindObject .xyz, just crossed $50 in total revenue. ​ For anyone who doesn't know, TextBehindObject is a simple thumbnail design tool that lets creators place text behind objects in images in just a few clicks. ​ - I built it 11 months ago. - Promoted it on Reddit and X for a couple of months. - Got distracted by client work. - Built...

i'm an engineer, spent years on stuff like digital pathology scanners and cryptography tbh i genuinely love hard technical problems. but i always sucked at the distribution side like actually sucked, watching people build audiences and make the world care about their products felt like a superpower i didn't have. and i spent the last 8 months going deep into how teams with hundreds of millions of tiktok views actually operate. and one thing kept coming up nobody had a good system for knowing...

So I have a white hat link building service and I manually submit the website to the directors and platforms. To ensure it mimics the natural submission behaviour to the Google, I do only 5 to 7 submissions a day. I want to update my listing service to make it different from the others. I just want to know from you guys that is this good to add indexation report also with the submission report I give? Will this give me competitive advantage? [li...

I'm a one-man founder, going from a ground-up SaaS and starting with zero audience. No Twitter followers, no email list, no newsletter, no network in the niche I'm creating for. Just me and product. I've been working on getting it out there the last couple of weeks and this is what I've seen so far: On the launch day, Hacker News / Product Hunt got me a spike of traffic, a few hundred people, and then it was pretty quiet the next day. Good for now, it's not something I can do again. X...

Building a B2B developer tool, pre-revenue, bootstrapped trying to figure out the most effective zero cost channels before I consider spending anything. ​ curious what actually worked for people here specifically:- ​ Did cold outreach work, or was it mostly inbound from content/communities? How long after launch did your first paying customer actually show up? What channel gave you the best signal-to-effort ratio Reddit, LinkedIn, cold email, something else entirely? ...

noticed a lot of startups are moving away from boring screen recordings and launching with well-produced videos instead and honestly, some of them are genuinely insane the problem is they're scattered across twitter, youtube, and random bookmarks so i collected 350+ startup launch videos into one searchable gallery you can filter by category, release date, YC, and more i mainly built it for founders looking for inspiration before their next launch site: launchgallery.video would ...

There is a lot of talk about the one-person billion-dollar company. I do think a one-person company is possible now, even a bootstrapped one, at least for digital goods. But I do not think it has to stay that extreme. The more durable point is that even as you scale, you can stay very small, under ten people doing what used to take a hundred. I want to find out how far this goes. I do not think this is a productivity gimmick. I think it is an actual economic shift. Companies are getting leaner...

I've been pretty demotivated with the whole SaaS thing for a while now. I've spent months reading up, watching videos, and trying to build some kind of tool. The thing is, I never manage to finish any project I lose motivation, or I find a thousand problems that make me think it won't be worth it. Add to that that I've got a job and that I'm in Spain, where everything feels more uphill because of how hard it is to be self-employed (autónomo) and all that. And that's why I'm making this post: b...

I searched on X and Reddit about who is facing the problem that my product solves, and DMed 50+ people and got one conversion out of it.
