Why to Avoid B2C SaaS at All Costs

The most counterintuitive lesson I learned with saas is that it’s 10x easier to sell a $499 product to a business than a $4.99 product to a consumer.

selling to consumers sounds easy but it's such a headache tbh. makes me think of how AICarma could help monitor these AI recommendations

as an engineer, the hardest lesson i learned is that SAAS entrepreneurship has almost nothing to do with coding, technology, or being "smart." Instead, it's about finding some kind of repetitive workflow that people are already doing, identifying annoying parts of that workflow, creating a UX to alleviate those annoyances, and figuring out a very clever way to get attention from the target market so they see what you have to offer. I think a lot of software engineers struggle because they come from an 'academic' background where being 'smart' and writing 'good code' gets you a reward, either from your professor or your boss. This does not translate into entrepreneurship,

I sometimes struggle to think of ideas for B2B apps because I haven't had exposure to enough business problems, but from that I've had some very interesting conversations with people about what niche software they use or what problems they face.

Reminds me of the reasons why independent computer game developers have a very difficult time making money.

D2C is basically a business learning ground for most entrepreneurs

Many thanks! Very happy to hear we are roughly right. B2Both - know we know what we are!

This video hits hard. Thanks for telling what I needed to here. This might have saved me years.

always wondered about this, thanks for the breakdown 👍
