Payment gateway for Marketplace SaaS application Hello SaaS subreddit! I'm a first time entrepreneur and I need an advice for the payment gateway selection for my SaaS application. The best payment gateway will have the following features: - Monthly subscription charge - Minimum transaction fee - Allows me to surcharge a % for every purchase made on marketplace, that we will charge as a platform fee - Minimum deposit fee to allow me to deposit the funds to my customer's account while keeping my platform fee that I charged above. I already saw stripe but... 5 2 replies

What do I prioritize? I’m building something I am truly passionate about. I love the journey I’ve embarked on, and look forward to every moment I get to build the future I hope to see. I’m currently in an accelerator program in SF for the first time ever, and I’m really trying to pick up momentum. Realistically, I don’t think I’m going to get picked by the VC for funding for a number of reasons: I’m solo-ish (my cofounders are not here in sf or full time), I’m not building ai/crypto/vr, I don’t... 4 2 replies
Hardware lighting related idea - need advice! Hello, I have a hardware lighting related idea that I've been working on for the past few months that I have a working prototype for. However I don't have much experience in manufacturing these at production level or at scale. I have done user studies already for the idea that I have as well as competitive research and so far all of those have been looking great. I was wondering if there's anyone here that I can pick the brain of for basic questions like where do I go... 3 0 replies
Pitch/Crowdfunding video If this is not an acceptable post, feel free to delete it. Would anybody be interested in checking out my pitch/ crowdfunding video that I had created. I left it kind of generic in the end so that would work for a pitch video or for something on a crowdfunding site. I have never made one of these before. Actually, I’ve still never made one because I paid to get this one done. I won’t post it here because I don’t wanna get in trouble, but if you’re interested,... 5 0 replies
How can I earn $50 weekly, while working remotely? Hi, I'm a web designer and developer with skills in UI/UX, Figma, HTML, CSS, JS, and popular web-design tools like Webflow and WordPress. I'm really struggling to land clients right now. I see so many people consistently getting projects worth a few dollars, and I’d love to know how they do it! Since I'm in a developing country, even one just $50-100 project would cover my entire week. My portfolio is all setup. I'm looking to connect with agencies or startups, entrepreneurs who need help with projects and work... 4 2 replies
How would you search for a small niche? I'm thinking of building a few MVPs for small niches that big companies don't care about, and see what sticks. I wanna do something that would be a good side project and portfolio builder. How would you go about finding a small niche with a unique, big pain point? I have a ton of big ideas, but now I'm looking for small ideas if that makes sense. I don't want to be the next OpenAI, more like my own venture builder for lifestyle projects. 1 3 replies
Dicey Exit I co-founded and bootstrapped a B2B SaaS product as CTO/CPO with my first-time founder CEO brother-in-law almost 3 years ago. I’ve been doing SaaS startups for years and have seen many things. This one is a mind bender. My BIL and I’s relationship has rapidly deteriorated over the last year as I’ve built the product to be self-service, low-maintenance and low-cost to run. I believe he now sees me as dispensable and hence wants to get me out of the company. I own 50% shares outright of the company... 5 3 replies
Suspicious TikTok Ad Conversions – Anyone Experienced This? I recently ran an experimental ad campaign on TikTok, using Branch io to track events like installations. After running the campaign for a day, TikTok reported 110 conversions at $0.70 per conversion, which sounded too good to be true. I double-checked in Branch, and it was indeed showing 100+ INSTALL events. However, I noticed **0 signups**. I’m also running smaller ads on Instagram, which are converting well. This makes the 100+ installations with 0 signups from TikTok suspicious—there’s no bug or red flag in our sign-in flow, as we’ve... 5 2 replies

Ugly co-founder breakup Hi everyone, We are 3 founders with equal shares and equal legal rights in our startup (a Delaware C corp). Recently, we've had some issues with one of our co-founders who has stopped performing and we also discovered he lied about some agreements we made within the founding team at the time of incorporation. Long story short, he wants to leave, and we also want him to leave. However, it's become contentious as the departing co-founder has threatened to screw us up. We incorporated just six months ago, so... 1 10 replies
Should I get a co-founder? I am a non-technical founder. I had software developed that would be for use in my current industry (manufacturing- 15 years experience). The random freelancer I found to develop this software is actually amazing. He’s been working on it for several months and we’ve been using the software internally for a bit (at my manufacturing company) and it’s helping us a lot. The developer says he develops software all the time for people and a lot of the ideas are stupid, but he really believes in the one that... 2 7 replies
Raising funds in the US backed by USD$165.000 contract, is it possible? Hi, I will try to make it short. I own a company in South America and I got $15.000 USD equity free to start my own company some months ago and being part of an Accelerator program. Thanks to that, I was able to work on my project. Nowadays, I am about to close a contract with the Government of $165.000 USD. However, I need initial capital to buy the supplies to provide the products/services. There's a high potential of getting more contracts, but I don't know if I... 1 3 replies
Christmas cools down the blood and clears the brain First time in the year I took some time off after developing and launching my product and having extensive business travels for sales and opportunities the last two months. I need this recharge for the next push of my project. Funny thing is, I identified the different types in my Family & Friends during the Christmas days: - the Believeres: they know that you will succeed, doesnt matter how hard or slow it may seem - the Criticizers: your idea sucks, you are wasting your time - the Skepticizsers:... 4 0 replies

Our business is primarily b2b and we do business with prominent companies in our industry, supplying them components for their products.
