My hard work is paying off 😮‍💨

There were plenty of moments where I questioned whether spending countless hours building, talking to users, improving the product, and marketing it every single day would ever pay off. 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...

How do you get better at pitching/presenting?

Wondering how you guys have approached improving your pitch, especially over Zoom. Obviously practice makes perfect, I've been using pitch simulator chαtvisor lately to work on both delivery and content, but would welcome any other suggestions, books, tips that worked for you, things you learned from good or bad experiences, etc. We raised a small pre-seed round Q3 last year but will be going out to the market again in a few weeks and trying to get my head ready for discussions with angels and...

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.

Best way to get first paying customers?

Hi everyone, We've built something in the space of e-commerce and customer acquisition that genuinely works (did a pilot with a brand). Now, we want to onboard 10 new brands (Shopify specifically) on the platform. What would be the best channels to reach out to the founders and marketing executives of these brands? Most of the mid-sized Shopify founders aren't on LinkedIn or X. The only way I can think of is emails and reddit. If any of you have built a Shopify SaaS company, how did you get ...

One client changed how I think about "launch marketing"

https://preview.redd.it/xcc9pevvqrhh1.png?width=813&format=png&auto=webp&s=201a635730b72534f4cadec605cfa3a4928ebe80 When I started StartupSubmit , I thought founders mainly cared about launch week. Product Hunt. Reddit. X. LinkedIn. After working with more startups, I realized something else mattered just as much. What happens after launch. One founder we worked with had a solid product but almost no visibility outside of their initial launch. Instead of chasing...

Launch HN: ProvenMetal (YC S26) delivers circuit boards in days instead of weeks

Hey HN, we’re Will & Johnny from ProvenMetal ( https://provenmetal.com ). You send us design files or specs and we give you assembled boards domestically in days. The US produced 30% of PCBs globally in 2000, now they produce 4%. Chinese manufacturers have completely dominated this space at 55% of global production. Now, the need for a domestic PCB supply chain is higher than ever before, yet the infrastructure has been dissolving over the last 2 decades. What is left is mostly small family run ...
