The last book about SaaS I read was The SaaS Playbook. You should give it a shot, as it can be a very strategic read about building your SaaS. Good luck!

@af1que1 @maurizioisendoorn I can confirm that's really interesting

@af1que1 Thanks for your reply! Yes that's the only one of two books I've read on Saas. It's a great book indeed. Really goes into detail about everything you need (and don't need)

@maurizioisendoorn What was the other one?

@af1que1 The Mom Test. About how to conduct customer interviews and how to get useful feedback out of clients, instead of getting feedback like "Good product".

I think, as a practical guide, the best read I came across is "Crossing the Chasm" by Geoffrey A. Moore. Though published 10 years ago, it's still very much relevant. Also, on the product side - "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" a somewhat controversial approach, but definitely a good read

@eltairovy Thanks for your advice, I'll check both of them out! You know its a great book when it's old but is still relevant today.

Moore

Daniel Tanque @daniel_tanque

Technical books you have O'reilly books.... But in terms of business Saas or mobile the logic underlying is much the same, it's business foundations. For that I suggest "Inspired" by Marty Cagan; "Good Profit" by Charles Koch; "Hooked" by Nir Eyal; Those 3 help you in Product Development, HR, Design, the 3 main points to build the foundations of a Startup/Company. You need to validate product/service fast, build partnerships, get users, get customers, build community, build a team, manage properly that team, give some autonomy, motivate them, and have good design, intuitive usability of the solution you're making.
