    [PROGRESS] From Enterprise Tech Layoff to SaaS Founder: The Feb 1st Sprint

    SAAS / APPS STORY 
    We’ve interviewed a diverse group of landlords, from 4-unit owners to 250-unit pros when I worked on the RE SaaS. Their needs vary from 'zero-headache' management to aggressive cost-cutting. I’m approaching the iOS app with the same lean mindset I used for my last RE SaaS: build fast, validate...

    [PROGRESS] From Enterprise Tech Layoff to SaaS Founder: The Feb 1st Sprint

    SAAS / APPS STORY 
    Early traction is a great signal, but it isn't a business. My first SaaS solved a real problem, but I hit a brick wall: The Migration Friction. Even with a superior 'painkiller' solution, I was asking users to leave their current ecosystems for a slightly better experience. I spoke to 10 ICPs...

    [PROGRESS] From Enterprise Tech Layoff to SaaS Founder: The Feb 1st Sprint

    SAAS / APPS STORY 
    I’ve officially pivoted to a new iOS project in the Women’s Health niche. You might ask: "Why that niche? Are you passionate about it?" The honest answer: No. My passion isn't for a specific niche; it’s for seeing hard cash hit my bank account. Whether I’m building a health app or a scented...

    SAAS / APPS STORY 
    Update: The Power of the Pivot: Knowing When to Walk Away I launched my SaaS and saw some early traction, but the unit economics didn't add up. In this niche, the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is unsustainably high—which explains why the competition is burning through cash. Even with a...

    [PROGRESS] From Enterprise Tech Layoff to SaaS Founder: The Feb 1st Sprint

    SAAS / APPS STORY 
    Before anyone asks: no, this isn’t a flashy "AI-disruptor" or a delusional social media play. I chose a boring niche: Property Management Software. I didn't guess. I mined local business databases and public revenue numbers to see who is actually making money. I found a competitor that has been...

    [PROGRESS] From Enterprise Tech Layoff to SaaS Founder: The Feb 1st Sprint

    SAAS / APPS STORY 
    Hey everyone, I’ve spent the last few years in the "Cozy Slowlane." I had the classic setup: a tech consulting job, great pay, a state-of-the-art company car, and a portfolio of big-name enterprise projects. Then reality hit. The economy shifted, clients pulled back, and my entire team was...

    Going to school for a trade vs. marketing

    OFF-TOPIC 
    +1 OP , Find a trade that has demand in your local area and use your marketing skills you would have applied to these "flashy" e-commerce / web businesses to your own local business. Best of both worlds.

    The most important part is that your business model makes CENTS I kind of was in the same boat , stuck on what kind of business I would like to run. With an option of breaking into tech / e-commerce (what I like to do in my free time) or petrochemical engineering. (sector I work in ) At the...
