Building a SaaS from Scratch

Show Notes

Episode Summary

This episode is a practical breakdown of what it actually looks like to build a SaaS product from zero as a solo founder. I cover the technical decisions, the distribution mistakes, and the lessons that mattered more than the stack itself.

Key Takeaways

  • Start with the smallest version of the product that can prove demand.
  • Distribution is harder than shipping, so it needs attention from day one.
  • Boring infrastructure choices are usually the right call for the core system.
