4:33 I'm using ads to build my network.
Hey Rob, thank you so much for the fantastic content. IMO the 2 best sources for startup advice are Microconf and YCombinator and yes, exactly in this order!
The good founder is always lucky.
great
Great video Rob! Looking forward to your next video :)
The point about talking to potential customers BEFORE writing a line of code is so underrated. I've seen so many founders (myself included) fall into the trap of building in isolation for months, then discovering nobody wanted what they built. The "do things that don't scale" mindset early on — manually finding those first 10 users, having real conversations, doing customer interviews — is what separates founders who get traction from those who don't. Great breakdown, Rob.
Thanks again, Rob. At 3:23 you mention something that really touches one of my biggest founder fears: talking to other SaaS companies in the same space that are already bigger than me. Let’s say I do that if my first features are clearly differentiating but not technically hard to implement, and I’m still in the early phase without a finished product, just validating the idea… If the idea turns out to be good, isn’t there a real risk that they move faster than me and outpace me especially if it’s a small, agile team rather than a huge company?
This Wonderful
The part about going where your ideal customers already hang out is underrated. Most founders default to cold outreach or paid ads before they've even had 10 real conversations. Those early convos are the product feedback loop you can't buy.
Hi, thank you so much for your videos. They’ve been really helpful for me. I’m currently building my own SaaS product and I’m now in discussions with a company about a possible pilot project, as the product is still under development. However, I’m wondering: how do I go from this stage to actually getting multiple users for the product? I have already reached out to several different companies, but so far I haven’t received any replies. Should I try a different approach?
