I get a lot of ideas

Some look great when you first think about them

Then you start talking to people and realize they don t really need it

I think this is one of the hardest parts of building

I used to think you should wait until everything feels ready

But with SaaS there is always something left to fix

One more feature

One more small bug

I have had this problem a few times

You get an idea from one user

Then someone else asks for something similar

And suddenly it feels like a feature you should build

Sometimes I feel like when you work on something every day you stop seeing the actual problems

You keep adding things

Changing things

Checking numbers

I thought getting people to try a new product would be the hard part

But then you start talking to those users and find out they use the product in ways you didn t expect

A small piece of feedback can sometimes change the whole roadmap

Maybe it changes a feature

A launch can bring a lot of people to your product

But getting people to visit is one thing and getting them to actually use the product is another

I ve been thinking about what happens after launch day

Do you focus on onboarding

I always find this part of SaaS interesting

You build something for a specific problem

Then the first users start using it

And sometimes they use it in a completely different way

I am working around SaaS growth and one thing I keep thinking about is the first few users

Getting the first 10 users feels very different from getting users later

You can not really depend on a big audience at that stage

Some founders use cold outreach

The first few users are probably the hardest part of building a SaaS

You have a product but nobody really knows it yet

I ve seen founders try cold outreach

Others start in communities

Getting the first customers is a different game

You have no big case studies

Not many people know your product

And you re still figuring out what message actually works
