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.
Bravo, team Relay! Really appreciate how truly resourceful this is for all founders at different stages in their starting up journies. Onwards and upwards! :D
P.S. The animated logo is absolutely 🤌.
@vanshika_rattan Thank you, Vanshika! 🙌🏾 We have @abhishek_ajithkumar1 and @kk87 to thank for that thumbnail's visual flourish and for all the remarkable artwork on Relay! They're the best! :))
@vanshika_rattan@kk87@mrakashsharma Thanks a ton for this praise, team Relay and Krishna have both been extremely helpful. It's been a pleasure coming up with visual metaphors, week by week. :))
So excited about Relay's launch! Thoughtfully crafted and curated insights from founders who have been deep in the trenches and are passing the baton on to the next generation. Looking forward to more!
So excited to see Relay launch. The people building this are extremely smart and really really good humans. They have built Relay with passion and are really hear to help SaaS founders.
If you're building in SaaS, you want to check this out!
Congratulations @astharattan@cbkrish and the Relay team!
Distilling the essence of some of these insights and lessons into visuals has been an incredible experience. And I’m amazed at the nuances that constantly come up and make the process equally rewarding and challenging. Thanks @cbkrish@astharattan@mrakashsharma and @kk87 for this great opportunity.
I second @abhishek_ajithkumar2’s thoughts; designing and crafting Relay's visual identity has been a result of constantly being in awe of the reflections that are shared here.
So excited for this!
Relay was a labour of love back when I was at Chargebee, and I know it’s that and so much more for the amazing team that’s continuing to build and grow it. It’s heartening to see how the community has bloomed into a support system for SaaS founders everywhere.
Relay was born from our conviction that great outcomes arise when founders candidly and earnestly share their stories with one another. It arose from the need for a truly diverse community where founders can seek advice from others on a similar journey, and pay it forward by sharing learnings from their own struggles and wins.
There is no single recipe to building a successful business. Whether you’re bootstrapping or fundraising, creating a brand new category or disrupting an existing one, seeking product market fit or scaling up - Relay has gems of advice relevant to your unique journey.
Gems that are all made possible by the incredible community members willing to pass on the baton.
Kudos to @mrakashsharma , @astharattan and the rest of the team for creating a truly special community ❤️
@astharattan@karishma_rajaratnam1 Karishma! Labour of love, indeed! The truest form imaginable at that. Thanks for laying the hard-won, contagious quarks and neutrinos that kicked off Relay! It cannot exist without your special brand of vigour and ambition! Thank you! 💛
@mrakashsharma@karishma_rajaratnam1 Thank you so much, captain! A lot of what Relay is and is going to be is because of your vision and support. Always grateful to you. :))

Congrats on the launch Relay peeps! Such amazing answers for founders in there.
You all do such a great job surfacing this treasure trove of knowledge!
@jlogic Thanks so much, Josh! 🙏🏽 Glad to have hosted you for an amazing Relay AMA last month.
Here’s just one among the many reflective gems you’d shared:
“I’d say I’ve gone through life trying to be well-rounded and not have flaws. Liked by all from a personal and product perspective. It’s the typical “trying to be something for everyone”. (UberNote was that).
It’s when I’ve leaned into strengths is when I’ve found the most success. I’ll never get 100% away from trying to be well-rounded as that is in my core being, it’s what makes me the founder I am today… but reminding myself to keep doubling down on strengths will get me further.” :))
