Two weeks after we launched, I got a DM from someone I'd never heard of. He'd read something I posted on Twitter about the problem we were solving, not even a sales pitch, just me thinking out loud…

Great job on building an MVP in 2 weeks! However, I think there's a messaging flaw in your post. You're showcasing a solution to a problem, but you're not explicitly stating the problem. Who is your…

Most fintech buyers prioritize immediate compliance mandates over proactive governance. If you assume they care about future receipts, you risk building a solution for a problem they are not yet…

Do fintech companies actually care about AI governance receipts before regulators force them to? Hey everyone this is my first time posting so please bear with me. This is not a self-promotion rather…

Totally agree, speed-to-lead is massively overlooked. It's not just about conversion rates, but also the quality of the conversation. A quick response often catches prospects when their pain point is…

Built a competitor monitoring. Sharing what happened I noticed the competitors had huge charges to get Slack alerts and team organization. So I decided to build my own monitoring tool. I build it in…

What's your current approach for searching and validating new SaaS ideas? I spent some time browsing Reddits like r/smallbusiness. I found there many posts like "What is your biggest pain point" and…

what feature feels small but massively improves UX? lowkey some of the best UX improvements are tiny things users barely notice consciously 😭 but the second they’re missing… the app suddenly…

The ask is probably too expensive right now. "Can I have 15 minutes to learn?" still feels like work to a busy dealer or lender. I would start smaller: send one very specific question they can…

Honestly, the Reddit positioning strategy is the most interesting part here. Posting around existing demand (“alternatives,” workflows, pain points) works way better than generic launch promotion.…

Distribution is the actual job. Building is a one-way traffic. You build and…..thats it I thought building the app would be hard. Turns out distribution is the actual job. Few months ago I wanted to…

For the pilot, I'd be annoyingly strict about defining success before anyone touches it. Pick 2-3 things you need to learn, instrument those, and write down every moment where someone asks 'wait,…

This might not answer your question directly.I will say no one company is going to be the same. Our first company out of school did 100k in its 2nd year. It was an iot company and at the time there…

this is the unsexy thing that actually moves numbers. everyone wants the next feature, but “make the thing less annoying to use” beats half the growth hacks people sell courses about.

OK, here's what I'd say (I should say I've worked with a few founders at this stage). Firstly I know nothing about this area, but assume (from 30 users etc) it's a known problem/pain point for…

I feel your pain. I have 202,000 lines of code and have no idea how to launch. I can't get a single subreddit to not kick my post. This is so frustrating. I like to build, but I hate marketing... so…

cold email is rough ngl. i tried a similar thing earlier this year, sent like 80 outreach emails for my side project and maybe 3 even replied. the hard truth is nobody cares about your product until…

cold email to strangers who dont know you almost never works unless you have a super strong referral or a really specific pain point hook. honestly you probably get more out of posting in communities…

tbh this is exactly the gap in every dev community ive been in. discord servers are full of people with ideas but nobody actually ships. i tried building a side project with randoms from twitter…

I’m still learning as I go but this changed how I looks at building workflows. I have a separate discovery call with the client and ask them to walk me through their manual process - their exact…
