Non technical solo founder building my first SaaS

Been in sales for 7+ years and finally decided to build a SaaS based on a problem I’ve seen over and over again.

I’m not technical in the traditional sense, but I’ve built websites before, and now I’m learning the product/dev side as I go. It’s been a lot of trial and error, a lot of figuring things out the hard way, and honestly a lot more fun than I expected.

I feel like I’m kind of the opposite of a lot of people here. I’m not too worried about getting users or handling sales and marketing. The hardest part for me has been actually building the thing.

Still pushing through and hoping I can get it in front of real users soon. Huge respect for everyone else building right now. This stuff is not easy!

I finally stopped overthinking and started building my own SaaS.

For a long time, I had ideas in my head and always told myself maybe later. Recently I finally decided to just go for it and start building my own SaaS.

I come from 7+ years in sales, so that’s really where the idea came from. Being in those conversations for years makes it a lot easier to spot problems worth solving. I’m a solo founder, and while I’m not a developer by background, I’ve built websites here and there over the years, so I figured why not learn by doing.

It’s been messy, frustrating, exciting, and honestly really fun. I think that’s the part I didn’t expect. I knew it would be hard, but I didn’t expect to enjoy the process this much.

I feel kind of backwards compared to a lot of people I see building SaaS. I’m not too worried about selling it once it’s ready. The hard part for me is actually building the thing. But I’m learning, making progress, and hoping I can get it in front of real users soon.

If you’re in that stage of figuring things out as you go, you’re not alone.

Coming from sales, learning to build, and starting my first SaaS

Coming from sales, learning to build, and starting my first SaaS

I’ve spent the last 7+ years in sales, and somewhere along the way I ended up with an idea I couldn’t stop thinking about, so I finally decided to build it.

I’m a solo founder and still very new to coding, so the dev side has definitely humbled me. I’ve made websites before, but building an actual SaaS is a completely different challenge. A lot of trial and error, a lot of Googling, a lot of fixing one thing and breaking another. But I’ve honestly been enjoying the process way more than I expected.

Funny enough, I feel like I’m backwards compared to a lot of founders. I’m not too stressed about sales and marketing, but the product side is where I’m learning in real time.

Not ready to share it just yet, but I’m hoping soon I’ll be able to put it out there, get my first users, and see if I can turn it into something real. If you’re building too, keep going!

Solo founder learning to build and finally starting my own SaaS

After 7+ years in sales, I finally decided to take an idea I’ve had and start building it myself.

I’m new to coding, so the dev side has been a real challenge, but I’ve built websites before and wanted to push myself further. It’s been a lot of trial and error, a lot of learning, and honestly a lot of fun.

I think I’m the opposite of a lot of people here. I feel good about the sales and marketing side, but building the product is where I’m growing the most right now.

Not ready to launch it yet, but hoping soon I’ll have the confidence to put it out there, get my first users, and start turning it into something real.

If you’re building too, keep going.

First time building a SaaS and learning dev as I go..

I’ve been in sales for over 7 years, and after spending so much time close to customer problems, I finally decided to build something of my own.

I’m a solo founder and pretty new to the dev side, so a lot of this has been trial and error. I’ve made websites over the years, but building a real product is a whole different experience. It’s frustrating at times, but honestly really fun too.

I feel like I’m the reverse of a lot of founders I see here. I’m not too worried about sales or marketing, but the building side has definitely been the challenge. Still, I love the process, and I’m hoping soon I’ll be ready to put it out there, get some first users, and see where it goes.

If you’re building too, keep going. Learning as you go still counts.

New to dev, 7+ years in sales, and now building my first SaaS as a solo founder!

I recently started building my own SaaS, and it’s been one of the most fun and challenging things I’ve done in a while. I’m new to coding and dev work, but I’ve built websites over the years, and this felt like the right next step.

I’ve been in sales for 7+ years, and that’s where the idea for my startup came from. I’m a solo founder, so it’s been a lot of trial and error, but I honestly love building. I feel like I’m the opposite of a lot of people here. I’m pretty confident in the sales and marketing side, but the dev side is definitely the hard part for me.

I’m not quite ready to fully put it out there yet, but hopefully soon I’ll have the courage to share it, get my first users, and start building some real MRR. If you’re building too, keep going!!
