Today's Insights

SaaS founders are really struggling with those first 10-100 customers right now — I'm seeing posts from people celebrating $5k revenue like they won the lottery, plus others literally offering to find leads for free just to help fellow builders get unstuck. The whole conversation feels different from the usual growth hacking stuff; these are people sharing what actually worked in their first few months, from agency partnerships to manual outreach, because the traditional playbook isn't cutting it for early-stage products.

Builders keep hitting the same brutal wall — they're shipping products and then staring at crickets, realizing user acquisition is way harder than the actual coding. Solo devs especially are sharing their raw numbers (like 72 installs, $0 revenue after 17 days) and admitting they have no clue what marketing move to try next. It's that classic "if you build it, they won't come" moment that's got people desperately throwing spaghetti at the wall with cold emails and random forum posts.
