There’s no one way to build a SaaS business, but most advice makes it seem frustratingly so. 😬Relay is fixing this via candid, context-rich AMAs, interviews, and 100s of discussions with a diverse set of founders — across geos, markets, and philosophies.

Very glad and highly awaited. A labor of love from @astharattan @cbkrish and @mrakashsharma . They took their time for the product to mature and bear fruits for everyone involved and care for the product. Relay is what Hacker News could have been. I would describe Relay as a place for bonfire night for all the builders and makers of the SAAS ecosystem. It is where SAAS stops the service and comes to breathe and relax with love, care and wisdom sprinkled throughout the night. Huge kudos to every person involved in this project from day 1. Only upwards from here. 🚀

Relay is a thoughtful community chock-full of insight. Every AMA lends nuance to the complicated business of building a software company from the ground up. You're hearing directly from founders: their failures and hard-won lessons, their worries, their thrown-together solutions. These long-form AMAs get personal — there are no filters, no agendas, no distractions — every single founder involved is there to learn, and help the people building companies alongside them learn too. BUT that isn't even why I LOVE Relay. I love Relay because I would never have heard of Sofia Quintero, Lilly Chen, or Simo Lenhandez without them. Mainstream SaaS loves to highlight the popular founders, the headline-making unicorns, and the VC darlings. But they don't represent our diverse industry, and they certainly aren't the only founders or companies with important experiences to learn from. I go to Relay to hear from founders I would rarely encounter in the mainstream. The team behind Relay is laser-focused on insight, and I trust them because they know it can come from ANYWHERE.

@yohannk Yohann! Made me tear up with this! 💛 Thanks so much for penning this lovely note, my friend! What we're hoping to pursue with Relay took shape in our countless discussions, going back years, on what an insight truly is, the focussed labour that it demands, and the impact it can have, so thank you!! 🌻

Super happy to see Relay on PH. For the longest time, my default for most founder level and operational challenges was - The Review by FirstRound. Relay is and remains the only other legit alternative. It does a better job because it serves only founders and the level of transparency and candidness is humbling. My favorite place to go to for deep reading and analysis.
