Ask HN: How long did it take your SaaS to reach 2K MRR? 10k? 20k?
Is there anything you'd do differently in hindsight to speed up that process?
It made me realize that there are different SaaS models that are probably desirable for different people, given standard time-to-market in that model, target market, average funding amount, price, service package, level of support required, etc.
The big one that I'm interested in is how long it takes to get to market with a SaaS. E.g. can you sell it without having a landing site? Or does it require a reputation for having been around for a couple of years?
I'd love to hear all of your experiences with this.
I'm not sure if it's possible to normalize the process of selecting what kind of SaaS model to go after based on what your end goals are, given the VAST amount of variables that are involved, but it would be very fascinating and potentially valuable to see if any patterns arise from the chaos.
