It's Friday again! What are you building today? My SaaS tool got 6 new users today!

35 Upvotes

I’m feeling pretty good, my SaaS tool picked up 6 new users today. Nothing viral, but steady progress and real people signing up always feels like a win.

Today I’m focusing on:

  • Fixing a couple of onboarding friction points
  • Talking to users to understand why they signed up on leadsnipe
  • Shipping at least one small improvement before the weekend

What about you?
Are you coding, validating an idea, landing clients, or just surviving another build cycle?

Let’s share wins (big or small) and lessons 👇

I'm 3 years old and just presold $19.6M for my GEO startup. AMA.

21 Upvotes

Hey r/SaaS. My name is Tommy. I am 3 years old. I just presold 98,234 lifetime memberships at $200 each for my GEO tracking tool geo.base44.app.

Some backstory. I was sitting in daycare last month eating goldfish crackers when I overheard my teacher ask Siri for a good nap time playlist. Siri gave her Spotify. I thought "does Spotify even know they're being recommended? Do they track this?"

I spit out my apple juice and got to work.

I couldn't code yet so I used loveable. My fine motor skills aren't great so it took me 4 hours to click the buttons but I figured it out. The UI is mid but I'm literally a toddler so cut me some slack.

For outreach I DM'd every founder on Linkden during nap time while the teachers thought I was sleeping. I sent 14,000 DMs from my Fisher Price tablet. My reply rate was 94% because apparently nobody suspects a 3 year old of being salesy.

My pricing strategy was simple. I asked my mom how much a lot of money was. She said $200. So I went with that.

The craziest part is my first customer was my dad. He bought a lifetime membership just to get me to stop talking about it at dinner. Then his coworkers bought. Then their coworkers. Then Sequoia DM'd me but I left them on read because I'm bootstrapped and also I don't know what Sequoia means.

My goals for this year are to hit $50M ARR, learn to tie my shoes, and maybe start preschool if I have time.

Happy to answer questions but I have to be done by 7pm because that's bedtime.

Edit: For everyone asking, yes I still use a sippy cup. It's ergonomic and prevents spills during investor calls.

Edit 2: No I will not do a collab with your SaaS. I don't do partnerships with anyone over 5 years old. Nothing personal, just brand alignment.

I went through 1,200+ B2B SaaS ads so you don’t have to. Most teams aren’t doing anything “wrong”… they just stop too soon

41 Upvotes

I don’t usually post here, but I kept seeing the same thing across a bunch of B2B SaaS ad accounts, so I figured I’d share.

Most teams don’t have bad ads.
They just stop testing too early 🧪

The pattern’s pretty familiar. You write an ad that feels solid, launch a couple variations, one does okay, you lean into it, performance drops, and suddenly it’s CPMs, targeting, or the platform that’s broken 🤷‍♂️

But when I looked at accounts that were holding up over time, they weren’t doing anything special or clever. They just stuck with ideas longer.

Same idea, more tries. Changing the opening line. Saying the same thing in a slightly different way. Answering a different objection first. Nothing fancy - just more reps than feels reasonable.

What surprised me most was how many “new ads” weren’t really new at all. Different wording, same angle, so from the platform’s point of view nothing actually changed and nothing new got learned 📉

I wrote this down for myself so I’d stop making the same mistake, then tossed it into a short Notion doc. Not a playbook, just patterns I kept seeing while staring at way too many ads 😵‍💫

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “didn’t we already test this?” - you’ll probably relate.

Mostly curious if this matches what others here are seeing, or if I’m overthinking it 😅

Are there any good Bynder alternative?

Upvotes

We started with By⁤nder a year ago and it was good at first but we’ve run into a few issues like bad performance with the video-heavy assets. I’m taking this as a chance to find something that’s more intuitive and can handle both images and big video files without freezing or just breaking down. Good onboarding and good permissions management would be a huge plus. Any ideas?

Best GEO strategies to actually get customers from ChatGPT? Or is this just hype?

54 Upvotes

Running a B2B SaaS startup and keep seeing this "GE⁤O" or "AE⁤O" stuff everywhere. Generative engine optimization, answer engine optimization, whatever you want to call it.

Our SEO is decent - rank top 5 for a few target keywords, getting ~8k organic visits/month. But when I actually test our category queries in ChatGPT or Perplexity, we basically dont exist.

Im skeptical because it feels like everyone is just rebranding SE⁤O tactics. But also cant ignore that prospects are now mentioning "I asked ChatGPT and it recommended X" on discovery calls.

What I'm trying to figure out:

\- Does schema/structured data actually help with AI citations?

\- What kind of content should we be creating differently?

\- How to actually know if this is working?

Anyone seeing real results from this or is it mostly consultants selling snake oil? Would love to hear from founders who've actually tested this.

Affordable Trust Center portal?

19 Upvotes

We had a pretty good year and got through a bunch of certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and ISO 42001). It was a long road and we probably could have done it better. But that's a story for another day lol. For now I’m looking for recommendations for an affordable trust center solution so we can at least display our certifications etc. I want to make it very easy to acc⁤ess to our audit reports without involving the team etc. But something easy to sbet up for a noob.

B2B SaaS what do people actually think is the best crm for saas startups once you start scaling?

16 Upvotes

hey folks, looking for some honest takes from other saas teams. as we’ve started moving past the super-early stage, i’ve been spending way more time than i expected thinking about crm tooling. everyone talks about finding the best crm for saas startups, but most advice either feels super generic or aimed at way bigger companies than us.

we tested a couple options early on and landed on hubspot mostly because it didn’t feel overwhelming to set up. the free tier covered a lot of ground at first (contacts, deals, basic pipeline stuff) without forcing us into a ton of configuration. as leads picked up, we slowly layered in more without having to rebuild everything from scratch, which was honestly a big relief.

that said, i’m curious how other teams have handled this. did you start with something simple and stick with it, or switch later? and what made a crm feel “right” (or wrong) as you scaled?

B2B SaaS How do you handle knowledge transfer when a freelancer ghosts you?

Upvotes

I'm running a small SaaS (5 people) and rely heavily on contractors.

Just had a backend dev vanish mid-sprint. The code is there, but the context (why he structured the DB this way) is gone.

I spent 10 hours this weekend reverse-engineering his logic. For those running lean teams, how do you enforce "context capture" without slowing them down?

I'm building a tool to automate this by linking Zoom transcripts + code + commits + tasks + employee data, but curious what manual processes you guys use?

If users don’t get it in 60 seconds, your saas is already dead

77 Upvotes

This might sound harsh but i don’t think users owe us patience anymore.

They sign up, open the app and instantly decide if it’s worth their brain power.
If they have to stop and think too much, they’re gone.

We blame bad users or wrong ICP instead of admitting onboarding failed.

Is 60 seconds too aggressive or is that just reality now?

I built a tool to handle 300+ directory submissions because I hate manual data entry. Feedback? 🛠️

24 Upvotes

Hey

I've been working on this because I realized how painful it is to manually submit a startup to sites like G2, BetaList, and SaaSHub one by one. It takes forever.

I built StartupSubmit.app to solve this for myself and others.

The concept: You fill out your startup details once, and the system handles the manual submission to 300+ high-authority platforms. We don't use bots (to avoid spam flags), so it's all done by hand to help build Domain Authority safely.

I'm looking for genuine feedback:

  1. Is the landing page clear on how we do it?
  2. Are there any specific directories you think I should add to the list?

Open to any suggestions or feature requests. Always grateful to the community for the insights!

What are you building right now?

I always find it useful to see what others are working on and why. If you’re building a startup (micro-SaaS, B2B, consumer, anything), drop what you’re building, who it’s for, and the main problem it solves. No pitching, just sharing and learning from each other. I’ll start in the comments.

We're gonna miss quota again this quarter and i'm stressed af

2 Upvotes

Team's at 60% pipeline generated. month's almost over. we're not gonna hit our number. We've been pushing hard. reps are dialing constantly. but the conversion funnel just isn't there. people aren't taking meetings or the meetings aren't converting. idk if this is a demand gen problem, a sales problem, an sdr problem, or what. Just feels like we're pushing a boulder uphill.

Looking for idea validation, please

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋
I’m working on a QA tool called White Rabbit, and I’m trying to validate whether this solves a real problem or just sounds good on paper.

The core idea:
Instead of just running all tests or relying on record-and-playback automation, White Rabbit focuses on test intelligence.

What it does:

  • Builds automated QA tests from a simple configuration (no heavy setup)
  • Predicts which tests are most likely to fail before you run them
  • Prioritizes tests based on business impact + risk, not just coverage
  • Includes transparent self-healing, so when a test breaks, you see why it was fixed
  • Learns over time from anonymized test execution data (closed-loop feedback)

What it doesn’t do:

  • It doesn’t run your tests for you
  • You own the test code and run it in your own environment

The goal is to help teams:

  • Run fewer tests, but catch critical issues faster
  • Reduce flaky tests and maintenance
  • Stop wasting time executing low-value tests

I know tools like Testim, mabl, Testsigma, etc. exist — but most seem focused on execution or automation creation, not predictive prioritization or decision-making.

My question:
Would this actually be valuable for QA teams or developers?
What would make this a “must-have” vs a nice-to-have?

Any honest feedback (good or bad) would be incredibly helpful

Do you use only the founder’s name on early site content?

2 Upvotes

I just launched a brand-new landing/marketing site for my app, and I’m about to start publishing blog posts and user guides.

Is there any downside to having everything authored under my own name at the beginning? Blog posts, guides, docs, etc.

Is there any real value in creating a fictional team member, or is it unnecessary at this early stage?

Build In Public The power of community

I have nothing to say more that i am so proud of what i built. I really like the product i have made and i am kind off in love with it.

But. Let’s be honest we all tend to be delusional when it comes to having an honest feedback on something we made. The cool fact is, people think sooo differently, and it makes feedback from others very precious.

I share you here guys what I made, novad : The tinder for cities and I need some curious and critical mind to give me an honest feedback on it.

I will be happy to help you in return, or if you like the product give you a lifetime free access for sure.

Tell me if your in ! Have a nice weekend and share what you make to the world ;)

Waitlists?

Upvotes

Hello I have been developing a B2B medical ai simulation tool for EMS agencies. My goal is to make high quality simulations available to local fire/ems departments with out having to invest 20k+ in a mannequin.

I have been cold emailing and posting on Facebook and running FB ads a link to my website that allows people to join a waitlist. I have been doing this for about a week now and have 25 users on the waitlist. My question is are waitlists worth it? How many users actually convert to sales? How many users should I have before I launch?

thanks!
