Top fears when you're building a SaaS



  • Can our servers handle the load? (So far, so good: over 2 million downloads)

  • Will the user experience be good?

  • Are we building the right tools?

  • Uptime. There's this added layer of stress, because you don't want to let users down.

  • Lack of time to build an app on the side.

  • Or, working too much and burning out!


Two co-founders can't go out drinking the same night, unless they're in the same room. 😜


How to get over your fears



  • Don't focus on your competition; focus on your customers!

  • Listen to your customers. Get on the phone with them. Read their emails. Do live chat.

  • Get paying customers as soon as you can. Listen to their feedback.

  • Your ego is the enemy. You're putting your product out into the world so people get value from it.

  • Put things in context: sure, this might not work out. But that's not the worst thing that could happen.
