Building momentum in public from all aspects of your startup - product, marketing, sales, community, customer support

Lovely thread. Great recommendations overall. My 2 cents: Good design is a make-or-break factor for SaaS products. You need to delight your users — if you don't then someone else will, and they will win against you eventually.

@manas_sharma It's a saying your product must give wow moment to all your users

Problem validation It took me 2 pivots and 10 months of building while building my first saas tool to have a customer. With eventhq, time to mvp launch is 8 weeks and we have 6 enterprise companies ready to pay and use. What was different this time around was, we narrowed our problem and spent 4 months talking to our potential companies asking what they would like to solve and how much they would be willing to pay

To put it in simple terms - 1. understand your ACVs and how many customers it would take to hit every revenue mark 2. What do you have planned to increase ACVs over time

The most crucial aspect of developing a SaaS product is creating a user-friendly, intuitive, and reliable experience for the customer. Developing a product that is easy to use and provides a positive user experience is essential to the success of any SaaS product.

Talking to your customers. I think talking to your customers is most important and crucial. Listen to their feedback and improve your product.
