Hi folks, I’m currently digging into how top B2B SaaS companies are optimizing growth and acquisition in 2026. I'd be really grateful to get your take on these few points, which I'm sure will help a lot of us scaling right now:

• Biggest pain points : What are the most recurrent pain points in your workflow that you would pay to solve today?
• Services: What are the most useful services you currently rely on?
• Vendor Selection: When evaluating a new partner, what are the absolute dealbreakers or deciding factors for you?
• AI Integration: What's your actual relationship with AI tools and services?
• Sales Cycle: How long does it usually take you to evaluate and purchase a new external service to solve your business problems?

 

Any insights or feedback would be so invaluable, for me and for everybody else building around here.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’d like to share a personal project I’ve been working on called MolKit.

It’s a platform where you can access different tools for your daily tasks, along with resources and learning materials to help you build useful skills. Everything is completely FREE and No Login is required.

I built MolKit because I noticed that some of my own work, like creating proposals was becoming unstructured and inconsistent.

So I decided to create a system where everything I need is organized, reusable, and easy to access.

I also included the resources I personally use, so I can keep everything in one place, and hopefully make it useful for others as well.

Recently, I’ve been learning AI automation, so I added a practical guide where you can learn by actually building projects, not just reading concepts.

I’ll continue improving and updating the platform since I use it myself. You might encounter some bugs as it’s still in an early stage, and I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Feel free to try it out and share your thoughts. Thanks!

Our company is finally hitting that awkward growth phase where "just hop on a Zoom call" doesn't work for onboarding anymore, and tracking compliance in Google Sheets is becoming a total nightmare. I've been looking into how larger organizations actually centralize their learning—specifically for those managing a mix of internal staff and external partners across different regions.

What are these enterprise-level systems actually doing to automate the heavy lifting, especially when it comes to personalized learning paths or AI that handles the repetitive admin stuff? I’m trying to figure out if we need a full-scale platform or if we're just overcomplicating a simple problem. Curious to hear what platforms you guys have actually implemented and how they handle global rollouts without the UI feeling like it’s from 2005.

The standard SaaS playbook is becoming a bit of a saturated mess. Everyone is doing the same LinkedIn "thought leadership" and burning cash on Meta ads, but the CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) is just painful.

I want to know about the real growth hacks

Are you finding leads in random Telegram groups?

• Did you hire a college intern to do something totally "out there" on Reddit?

• Is a weirdly specific cold DM script actually getting you meetings with CXOs?

• Or did you just build a small free tool that’s basically a lead magnet on steroids?

I’m at a bit of a crossroads with a pretty robust SaaS I’ve been building for the past ~6 years and would really appreciate some honest, operator-level advice.

It’s a niche product in the client management space, built specifically for creatives and service-based businesses (think proposals, invoices, lead capture tools, client portals, scheduling, etc.) but designed to be much simpler and more brand-forward than tools like Dubsado or HoneyBook.

This wasn’t a quick MVP. It’s gone through multiple iterations, a full redesign (2.0), and has a pretty polished product + brand at this point. It works. People who use it generally like it and stick around.

To bootstrap development early on, I sold lifetime deals to 85 users, which helped fund a lot of the build. There really isn't much to customer support right now. Currently I have around 10–16 active paying users each month (varies with churn), and MRR sits roughly in the $400–$600 range. It mostly runs itself, but costs me money to do so.

So here’s the situation:

- The product is real and validated at a small scale

- Retention is decent for users who convert

- But growth has been slow and inconsistent

- And I’ve hit that stage where it either needs a real push… or a different decision

The constraint is:

I don’t currently have the financial capacity to invest heavily into growth (ads, partnerships, etc.) or a major product overhaul right now. I’m also navigating a job search and some personal priorities, so bandwidth is very real.

At the same time, it’s hard to walk away from something that’s taken this much time, money (~$100k), and such care to build.

Selling is an option, but at this scale (2–4x revenue), it doesn’t really reflect the effort or potential here — especially with 85 lifetime users already in the system, plus 1800+ trial users on a newsletter list.

So I’m trying to think clearly about what the smartest move is from here:

If you were in this position, would you:

1. Double down on inexpensive marketing efforts. Think time invested instead of financial investment (if so please help me sort out what to prioritize!?)
2. Try to sell anyway and just accept the market reality at this size or try to find a unique buyer who sees the potential here in the product and brand?
3. Put it into maintenance mode and revisit in 6–12 months?
4. Something else I’m not considering? Investors?

I’m not looking for encouragement necessarily, just honest perspective from people who’ve been through this stage or made similar calls.

Appreciate any insight!

I keep seeing the same pattern over and over again in SaaS:

A lot of people are building…

Way fewer are shipping…

And a tiny percentage are actually making money.

So I’m curious what this community actually looks like — no hype, no “stealth startup”, no vague AI buzzwords.

Where are you really at right now?

Be honest and pick your stage:

Just an idea (haven’t built anything yet)

Building MVP (still not live)

Launched but struggling to get users

Getting consistent users but low/no revenue

Making first money ($1–$1k MRR)

Growing ($1k–$10k MRR)

Scaling ($10k–$50k MRR)

Serious business ($50k+ MRR)

How did it reach that point?

has anyone else run into this? like you talk to people, they say “yeah this sounds great” or “i’d totally use this”, so you go ahead and build it thinking there’s demand… but when it’s actually ready no one really buys or even uses it trying to figure out if i’m asking the wrong questions or just talking to the wrong people, how do you guys validate something properly before building so this doesn’t happen?
