    [Progress] Starting another SaaS (travel industry this time)

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    What can I say? It's been a while! Time for a short status update. C0VlD-19 has been a period of zero conferences happening. A bit of maintenance on the software, writing the occasional blog post, and after a year in, only keeping the software up to date. September 2021 I was ready to just pull...

    [Progress] Starting another SaaS (travel industry this time)

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    Status update time! In the past couple of weeks, I've been chatting with a company that is doing something very different, but essentially could use the workflow of having a "third party payment for travel". It could have been a good fit, but I decided this might not be the best thing to...

    Whoa lots of replies! A bunch of quotes and responses coming up... That should be fine. Most of the real work like search/ticketing is done using a messaging system which is easy enough to scale horizontally. Of course, that's what I say now, although proof is in the pudding. I guess we'll...

    Yes, time flies :smile: So far have 7 conferences who handled (and are handling) flights through SpeakerTravel, good for 50 travellers now. Marketing-wise collecting logo's and testimonials I can put on the website, should go live in the next week once I have all approvals. Sales-wise, trying...

    [Progress] Starting another SaaS (travel industry this time)

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    Been a while since the last update, so here goes! Service/application Adding several features I had thought of, but are now requested by first users. Feels good to validate those ideas, but must be careful not to fall into the "build trap". We'll see, for now all requests seem useful and I can...

    [Progress] Starting another SaaS (travel industry this time)

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    It's been a while, time for an overdue status update. In August, I've had several passengers booked by my first customer (myself), and now working with the second customer (an actual customer) who has already booked 10% of their number of passengers/tickets. Number three is also lined up and...

    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    Look, a second product that can serve as the base model, and the original one being the "pro" model. :-)

    Thanks for checking! Will take a look at the mobile view. And see whether text can be condensed. No ads planned yet, still want to iron out some kinks (in both the app as well as the landing page). Contacting folks I know that may want to use this as a first round of marketing, as I can work...

    A week has passed, time for a status update! Let's start with the one thing that was still pending... the GDS has fixed a blocking issue on their end, which means I can now (finally) book flight tickets! That also means go-live for the application, which happened yesterday. While waiting for...

    [Progress] Building a SaaS app and logging my learnings

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    Good progress there! Do try to enjoy those three weeks off with other things as well, but as you say they may be a very good time to work on getting a first user (and better, customer). Happy to do so, and thanks for doing the same with me. I'll be sure to keep doing that in these next three...

    Still awaiting the person at the GDS to flip the switch to be able to book actual tickets. The intermediary seemed annoyed as hell that this took so long, so that is good. But in the meanwhile, made things a bit better by integrating SEPA Direct Debit (via www.gocardless.com) so I can...

    Let's start with the non-fully-related :) The company. Being bootstrapped and thus not having a team to go along with the sale, we landed at a multiplier of 2.5. That process was pretty smooth actually. The purchasers reached out to us and we worked with our and their legal + our accountancy...
