We made our first B2B SaaS sale!! [I will not promote] It's funny timing because I just posted here less than a month ago about being at zero after 1 year. After pivoting a few months ago, my co-founder and I just received payment from our very first customer! We offered them a 3-mo trial at $750 and the money just landed in our account. They came from a personalized cold email and are the perfect first customer. We also kept our initial outreach local so we were able to meet them in person which I think helped a lot.... 5 6 replies
Startup Viability Index – Quantitative Approach to Evaluate Startup Ideas(I will not promote) Hey all, I created an objective way to evaluate startup ideas. It's called the **Startup Viability Index (SVI)** \- a quantitative framework to help founders and investors quantify startup potential. It's a framework/tool I made for myself and then realized it might be useful for others. **TL;DR: I made a free calculator to quantify startup potential:** **Link Redacted.** Full methodology here if you're curious: Link Redacted. # The Problem As founders, we evaluate ideas qualitatively based on assumptions in our heads. This makes objective comparison nearly impossible, especially when: * We... 2 0 replies

What options do mid startups have with investors?… I will not promote I have lots of experience designing apps. I have an idea for a product that should exist but my conservative back of the envelope math indicates that this could make several millions in the coming years but that it’s unlikely to reach unicorn status. I estimate an MVP is going to cost around 100k to build iOS and Android, and I think I’ll know pretty quickly if it’s going to get traction. I could pay for it myself but I have a family and I’d rather give up equity... 1 3 replies

Scaling: How do you document processes and knowledge? I will not promote The company grew too fast with multiple offices around the world, with each being closed in its own silos. Most of the branches is doing really well, the other (where I’m at) not that much… People simply don’t use any tools for documentation, processes aren’t formalized etc. No strategy, slow growth, arrogant sales people who refuse to get trainings on our own services or provide transparency etc. The COO gave me the mission to tidy up the house. Our idea is to create a wiki (dangerous, I know), populate... 1 9 replies
MVP - help validate idea and steps (i will not promote) I'll try to format my post clearly for understanding The goal: get your feedback and possible drawbacks I missed, as constructive and real as possible, signaling me if I'm on the right track.

So I got my hands dirty and started working on it instead of just researching. If it gets traction, I'm off to build something useful, if not, I'll have a fail in my... 5 0 replies
