Hey Saas Been running a small AI software dev house out of London for the last 2 years. 6 people now and growing. Took the company from 0 to 6 figures and I want to do it again hopefully I want to show this is possible to generate 150,000 in 15 days (without using any of my warm network or referrals from current clients. ) Hopefully can inspire a few to start their own as well! I will, though, leverage some of our past work to do the convincing. The rules are the following: Revenues are co...

Hi guys! My co-founders and I just started a B2B SaaS corporate travel company. We’ve been doing cold email outreach and have one company on our waitlist. Any ideas on how we can grow our customer base? We’re going to officially launch soon. When we get funding we want to travel to a couple of conventions and conferences so we can get face to face with our customers. Our company is called Flyby AI. Our whole slogan is “travel that books itself.” Basically the software connects to corporate ...

Hey, Another thing the EU has made unfair... In order to be compliant, if you're selling subscriptions you should allow a 14-day window for users to withdraw from the contract that was established by the subscription. The thing is, the payment processor would not return processing fees and additionally charge for refund processing. The talented EU legislators has left this part out, or perhaps it is the payment processors have some good lobbying there. Anyways, your kind opinions are appr...

💡 The Problem Buying gadgets today is broken. Non-technical users get lost in jargon, specs, and biased reviews. Technical users spend hours cross-referencing benchmarks, bottleneck calculators, and price histories across different sites. There is no unified platform that guides both user types seamlessly from decision to purchase. 🚀 The Solution A unified gadget recommendation and advisor hub. The platform bridges the gap using: Tailored Guidance: Adapts to both non-technical users (gui...

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on Watext , a platform designed for businesses that use WhatsApp to communicate with and market to their customers. The idea is pretty simple: instead of managing everything manually through WhatsApp, Watext brings the main workflows into one platform. You can: Send personalized bulk WhatsApp campaigns Create scheduled and recurring campaigns Build visual automation flows Manage Meta-approved WhatsApp templates Segment customers into groups Ma...

I made a beta version of a calorie-tracking app. The funny thing is, I built it backwards. I initially made it for myself. A friend started using it and really liked it, which made me think about turning it into something bigger. But now I'm questioning the whole thing. There are already hundreds of calorie-tracking apps, and I don't think I have a strong USP yet. I don't want to solve the problem of “I need another calorie tracker.” I'd rather find a real problem that people who ...

​ I stopped asking users what features they want this changed the way i build SaaS i used to ask users: What feature should i add next? the answers were usually a long list dark mode integrations more customization better dashboard mobile app some were useful some weren't then i changed the question instead i started asking: what was the most annoying part of using this? the answers became completely different people started telling me where they got stuc...

Randomly at 09:00am we got an email. Someone has signed up! So stoked! Unfortunately, they didn't make it through our credit card validation for the free trial. I'm wondering about your thoughts on this. We have the credit card validation mandatory as currently, achieving a few paying members is our main priority, and we don't want to suffer from signup abuse (people making multiple accounts for extra generations) But, that's still a success, I count it!

How do you manage to "fight" the churn ? I can't grow my MRR mainly because of my churn rate, which is at 45%. I have 3 plans, middle one has 7 free days and is 95% of my sales. My trial to paid rate is ok at 35%. What is your best tip to avoid this huge churn amount ? People continue their trial but then churn, where could be the issue on my app ? More guidance ? Video guides ? Better user parcours ? Thanks ! [link] ...

Here's the problem: Claude gives a great answer -> One sentence confuses you -> You want to ask a quick follow-up But if you ask in the main chat, the entire conversation moves forward, and now you’re scrolling up and down trying to connect everything again. So I built SubChat. SubChat lets you highlight any part of a Claude answer and ask a focused follow-up in a small side-chat, right there on the page. You can: - highlight a line and click Ask (google-wide, not just cl...

Bootstrapped, solo, no real dev background beyond some scripting. I'd been sitting on an idea for months telling myself I had to learn to code properly first. Two weekends ago I gave up on that and just built the whole front end on a no code website builder, plus a simple form and a payment link. Live by Sunday night. Posted it in two communities where the exact problem gets complained about. Woke up to 5 signups and one person who actually replied asking when a specific feature was coming. ...

Why does every tool cost $20 to $25 a month. Supabase, Resend, bunny.net etc. If you want to build a saas you have to cover all these costs first. But if you dig a little deeper you can find a way to cut these costs. Ive stopped using Supabase and purchased a VPS for $12 a month to host 4 of my freelancing projects. I built my own Supabase style app that I host on my VPS to see my db and deply edge functions. Yes I know you can self host Supabase and appwrite etc. But this really upskilled me. I...

okay this is a bit of a pesronal post i dont think i can reveal my age in here, but yea you can assume i am a teenager, and i just got a app that i worked on for months neglecting my studies also (which isnt very good) and it is finally live as i wanted it to be now is the part of scaling the application, but merely just getting it live has induced so much happiness into me. i feel like im the best and on the top of the world. should i hold onto the feeling for a while, because im scare...

We hear this occasionally. Our market is embedded analytics. I should start by saying we're pretty convicted that our product, which is AI-native and performant, is vastly better for customers than building in-house or buying a legacy competitor. We have a talk track and links to industry analysts, reddit posts and our own blog (can share here if people are interested.) But when the customer is hell-bent on Clauding it, we just say "Great, try it. We'll check in with you in a coupl...

At some point, "listen to your customers" starts getting a bit tricky. You can have customers asking for completely different things, your biggest customer wanting something that doesn't make sense for everyone else, or a bunch of people saying something that still doesn't fit where you want to take the product. How do you guys decide what's actually a signal worth acting on vs something you should probably ignore? [link] ...

G2 put out research this spring saying about half of B2B software buyers now start their research with an AI chatbot instead of a search engine or a review site. G2 publishing that about their own category caught my attention. So I have been chewing on the obvious question. If the buyer asks ChatGPT "best CRM for a 20 person agency" and takes the answer, does anyone still read the reviews? My partial answer is yes, but in a strange new way. When I ask these models about specific ve...

I have created 8 apps, multiple have gone viral, but now I am running out of ideas. Most of my apps aren’t monetized, I just like creating, but I can’t think of anything else. If anyone has an idea for an app they would love made, hit me up. I have been programming for 9 years btw, I’m not just a vibe coder lol.

There are so many small things around it that you don't really think about at that begging I'm curious for those who already running a SaaS, what was something that surprised you by taking way more time or effort than you expected?

Just moved into sales at a tech company and I’m already starting to hate first-meeting decks lol. Most of the time it feels like I’m pulling from the same one-pager, pricing doc, customer proof, then doing a bit of account research and stitching it all together so it looks customized. It’s not exactly hard, just weirdly time-consuming for something that feels pretty low value. Is this just normal in enterprise sales?

Let's try to cut through the usual AI slop that has been plaguing this sub, and learn something actually useful. I recently watched a pretty interesting video from a successful but down-to-earth founder, and think it's worth sharing simply because it resonates so much with how my tiny team is structuring marketing (mostly). Nothing revolutionary on its own, but the sequence makes a lot of sense, especially if you’re a small team (say under 10 people) trying to grow without burning money on a...

Hi all Another update. Last time I posted about hitting my $2.5k milestone in 4 months. Now I'm at almost $4k in just 5 months. Here's some more context on how I got there: While building another tool, I ran into the pain of launching on startup directories (think Product Hunt, Uneed, etc.). The first problem is just finding good ones. There are a lot out there, and searching for them alone is a grind. Then comes the part that's even more tedious. Every single one wants the same inform...

this was written using a frontier model btw. You can't let AI do everything for you. Asked AI to write my landing page. It decided to sell the cancellation flow. it wrote in a dedicated section: “Built to be easy to leave.” this is one example of how things might turn out if you don't double check the work. “Built to be easy to leave.” Thanks, AI.

Hi everyone, I'm a 38-year-old Italian professional currently trying to transition into SaaS sales. I have over 11 years of experience in sales, tourism and customer-facing roles, working with international clients every day. Throughout my career I've sold travel experiences, managed customer relationships and worked in multilingual environments. I speak Italian (native), English (C2), Portuguese (C2), Spanish (C1) and conversational Japanese (N4). For the past 10 months I've basically "p...

I need to vent, but I also genuinely want to know how other solo builders navigate this. I'm a UX designer and AI builder. Recently, I canceled my CapCut subscription because I didn't want to keep paying monthly just for basic voiceover/J-cut audio workflows. I searched everywhere for a lightweight, free alternative focused strictly on J-cut style voiceovers. When I couldn't find one, I decided to build it myself. I was excited to give it away for free and get real user feedback to make it bet...

Throwaway thoughts from someone who probably needs an honest outside read. I spent about a year building a compliance tool for AI agents. Basically it checks what an AI assistant says before it reaches the user, and flags where it might break an actual regulation (privacy laws, financial rules, sanctions etc). The category feels real to me. New AI rules seem to be coming out every few weeks, and a pretty well known accelerator literally listed "AI-native compliance" as something th...

It should be helpful for all the beginners.

X/Twitter makes building a SaaS look a lot easier than it actually is. You constantly see posts like: And yeah, technically, the math checks out 😂 But here's a snapshot of my SaaS. Most of the emails in my database are: me spam/test accounts friends The funny thing is that building the product isn't really the hard part anymore. With AI coding tools, I can build features insanely fast. Getting people to actually discover the product, trust it, try it, and eventuall...

I started building out my product 5 years ago and did the #buildinpublic thing, sharing my monthly revenue. Immediately a bunch of competitors sprang up, all of them low fidelity copies. I did not worry about them too much. Unfortunately AI has changed the game for copycats too. You can point your agent at a landing page or product and it will actually make a decent duplicate. Most of my copycats have diverged into their own directions, which is fine by me. However one has diligently co...
