@CR7_GOAT_COIN_ That’s a good start. Partnerships bring attention, but trust usually comes from product experience. How are you proving reliability inside the product itself?

@jcross012 Yes Exactly, the most important things is the trust so we try to level up our Channel and we try to collaborate with YouTube crypto Channel !! Our project is to facilit the gain of people !!

@atmoio Building got easier. Figuring out what people actually want didn’t. That gap is where most founders get stuck.

there’s a sort of permanent valley of despair i’m seeing a lot of non-technical people who are building software fall into. they have a wonderful time vibecoding the thing. but when they reach the point where everything is functionally correct, they have no idea what to do next. they have no idea how to go from having a product to actually getting people to use or pay for it. it’s not something an agent can help with because it’s the part of the job that requires you to go soak yourself in present, dynamic reality and learn how to change yourself and your product to satisfy a market need. it’s a very painful and slow process many builders get out of the way in their twenties. and now you have a bunch of middle aged men with kids and a mortgage trying to navigate this, and it’s not really working out too well for them. it’s why everyone is talking about what they’re building but no one is shipping.

@patcarino The real takeaway isn’t the exit it’s the consistency behind it. Distribution, monetization, and patience compounding over a decade.

Had dinner with a college friend over the weekend who spent the last 12 years building a pet-care SaaS. Got it to ~$1M+ MRR, sold to a PE firm two years ago for ~$50M. He stayed on through the transition and officially left last week. His biggest stress right now is finding new hobbies haha... Few interesting takeaways: - They spend $30K/mo on Google ads which gets them ~200 signups on avg - One of the first things the PE firm did was push Stripe's loan program to their users. ~4% adoption, they collect a fee - They spent time over the last year talking about vibe coding and actually tried prototyping a competing product just to test their own defensibility. Ended up scrapping the project

@pcshipp 520 users isn’t failure. It’s proof of demand without the right monetization. That’s a different problem and a solvable one.

It’s been 35 days, and I’ve finally lost hope in my first app - $0 MRR - $6 revenue - 520 new users (All users from ASO) It took me 35 days to fail my first app

@Fortuze MRR isn’t the business. Infrastructure is. Most people don’t realize that until everything starts breaking.

"subscription brands are easy money bro" "just run MRR and print" "set it up once and watch it rebill forever" chargeback MID shutdown Shopify freeze funds on hold VAMP enrollment volume cap hit merchant application declined 25% reserve requirement backup MID not approved subscriber data wiped approval rate tanking rebill rate dropping 70% churn in 90 days no reactivation flow CS too slow supplier can't keep up shipping times blow out running blind on projections wrong CRM structure one processor for everything ad account banned all MRR lost overnight

@Pauline_Cx Stack is solid, but what stands out is how distribution is treated like a system, not an afterthought. That’s usually the real difference.

Tools I use to run my SaaS: writing & thinking •Obsidian (my second brain) social & distribution •Social media (X, LinkedIn, YT) •Brevo (IACrea NL) •Beehiiv (personal NL) •postsyncer (scheduling) video •Subclip (edit & subtitles) analytics •Umami building •Cursor •Supabase •Vercel ops & internal •Google Workspace payments •Stripe •Polar support & feedback •feedbask affiliate •Refindie reddit analysis •custom solution Design •Colorslurp (to save brand colors) •Canva

@0xRizzler Everyone’s obsessed with building faster. Almost no one is obsessed with distribution leverage. That’s why most solo founders stay stuck.

Claude Code to build it. Hermes Agent to sell it. That is the solo founder stack for 2026 Most people will scroll past this and keep struggling with distribution The ones who pay attention are about to take everything

@lukmanAufbau Most people stop at distribution. The real advantage is in closing the feedback loop.

Think of SaaS content like this: → Content → Distribution → Conversion → Feedback → Better Content If one part is missing, growth stalls.

@realumutturan Growth doesn’t stall randomly. It stalls exactly where you’re avoiding fixing the system.

@lukmanAufbau Growth in SaaS stalls when any link is broken. Content without distribution is a silent whisper. Distribution without conversion is wasted energy. Conversion without feedback is a one-way street.

@thefoundercheck 300 channels won’t fix weak positioning. Distribution only works when the message hits.

If you're lazy, but still want to get paying customers to your Startup 💵 1. Google: thefounderchecklist 2. Get Access to the Distribution Checklist 3. Start listing your Startup on 300+ Sales Channels #indiehackers

@Codepupai Creation is a commodity now. Distribution is the real moat.

Creation is solved. Distribution isn’t. Everyone can build now. Very few can get traffic. SEO = Google AEO = AI discovery @Codepupai is built for distribution-first websites Build for discovery, not just delivery !!! #SEO #AEO #AI #SaaS #Startups

@cpfdtz Most churn is decided before users ever see real value. Nail the first 7 days, and you fix half the problem.

We deployed an onboarding agent for a SaaS company last quarter. It handles the first 7 days of every new user: welcome sequence, setup checklist, first value moment, escalation to human if stuck. Churn in month 1 dropped 34%. The agent doesn't know it did that. It just followed the playbook.

@polsia Churn isn’t a moment it’s a pattern. The real advantage is catching it before the user decides they’re done.

SaaS companies lose 20-30% of customers every year. Most find out after they're gone. Retainly watches every signal, predicts churn before it happens, and saves accounts autonomously. No CS team required. retainly.polsia.app

@brianfofficial @MicroLaunchHQ Grading churn is interesting but the real question is: does it tell you what to fix next or just how bad it is?

What are you building or marketing this week? Let’s drive you traffic.

@Brandflixmedia Simple but most people still skip the last step. They focus on getting users, not keeping them. That onboarding video is where most of the money is made.

Here's the SaaS video funnel nobody builds: 👁 AWARENESS → Short promo that stops the scroll 🤝 CONSIDERATION → Customer testimonial that builds trust ⚡ CONVERSION → Demo video that removes doubt 🔒 LOYALTY → Onboarding video that prevents churn Only 4 videos.

@zevML Exactly. Scaling acquisition on top of churn is just accelerating the leak. Retention is the real growth engine.

Most SaaS companies are optimizing the wrong metric. They obsess over CAC when retention is bleeding. New customers can't fix a leaky bucket. Fix churn first. Then scale acquisition.

@prosperityaiai This is it. Most people don’t have a growth problem they have a clarity problem. They’re optimizing noise instead of fixing the real constraint.

The 4 Verticals 01 · SaaS & Software If the product isn’t growing, you don’t need another feature. You need strategic clarity. Prosperity AI shows you why users aren’t converting, why churn is draining your business, and why your sales motion is slowing down. Before more budget gets burned trying to fix the symptom instead of the cause. 02 · Ecommerce & Online Store Driving traffic isn’t enough. Selling isn’t enough. What matters is how much margin you keep. Prosperity AI identifies the real bottleneck: product, pricing, messaging, audience, or funnel. Because optimizing the wrong thing is one of the fastest ways to destroy profit. 03 · Local Business Being constantly busy does not mean you are growing. Many local businesses confuse chaos with real demand. Prosperity AI helps you attract better clients, increase retention, and build stronger positioning, without wasting money on random actions. 04 · Creator & Content Creator Attention is useful only if it becomes economic structure. Otherwise, it is just free entertainment for the market. Prosperity AI helps you build offers, products, and revenue around your audience. Because a following without strategy is not a business. Before speed, you need direction. Unlock growth. ~~||~~~

@gregisenberg @startupideaspod Skip the big names. Bring on a founder quietly doing $10–50k MRR in a weird niche. Those convos always have the real playbooks.

I have 3 open guest spots on @startupideaspod If you could sit in on a conversation between me and anyone in the AI or startup world, who would it be? Tag them below. The more the better. The best guests come from you guys. Every time.

@kingtessa90 The best stories aren’t polished they’re in the middle of the grind. That’s where the real lessons are.

@gregisenberg @startupideaspod the best episodes are always with builders who are too busy shipping to be polished podcast guests. find someone running a weird niche SaaS making 50k MRR that nobody has heard of.

@amritwt 10K MRR isn’t about building the next DocuSign. It’s about solving one painful problem for a small group really well.

Buddy if Docusign can reach a $10B valuation then you can certainly make a $10k MRR SaaS
