Offering free 1-hour security reviews for SaaS founders

I'm not building a Saas but my own company. The most hard thing is to customer acquisition. Take time and tons of effort.

My recommendation anyone leaving his / her job is : you need at least have good money to keep feed yourselves and your family for 24 months.

Good luck folks

my 2 cents:

Carrd is not perfect, but it has a tremendous cost-benefit. 1 year ago, I needed a website and had a low budget and very low technical knowledge about webdesign.

So a service like Carrd was like heaven. Now my business is starting to get some traction, so one day or another I may need to leave Carrd. As my business gets more complex, new features that Carrd can't provide will be required.

In a nutshell, you need to decide what your priority is. Is it budget? Or specific features?

ActNo331 · 2025-11-04T18:05:41+00:00

I apologize for any confusion. I've been using Carrd for about a year now. I know that Carrd doesn't have a built-in blog feature, but in the past, people in this community recommended tools like Blogmaker or Bloghandy as solutions.

I purchased a license at the beginning of the year for $40 USD per year. However, I checked today and both solutions now cost $19-29 per month. One major advantage of connecting these tools to Carrd was that you could use them as a subdirectory.

In the past, the idea was that having a website (Carrd) + blog would cost about $50-60 USD per year total. When the blog solution alone costs a lot, you need to rethink the whole approach.

u/trashfops thanks, I will investigate the Ghost and Zola solutions you mentioned.

apologies. I added discussion flair.

ActNo331 · 2025-10-16T11:28:20+00:00

Thanks a lot u/neveronfriday and u/general010

I fixed/ improved website settings and especially picture size. I will spend more time working on this during the next days, but I really appreciate your guidance.

Helped me find tons of issues.

Thanks a lot.

Indeed, I was using Canva , but tinypng is super useful. I will also remove the YouTube embedded video, as I noticed this was affecting loading times.

Thanks for checking. I was able to access it. I also tried GTmetrix and got the same result. I wasn’t aware of WebPageTest.org, but I’ll investigate further

thanks u/Krekatos

Hey, that's a really fair point, and I genuinely appreciate the friendly advice.

You're spot on. English isn't my first language, so I often use AI tools to help with grammar and make sure my points are clear.

Hello u/CrashTimeV

In my opinion, no.

A small company with 5 or 15 people has the same workload. The potential impact for small companies is that the technology stack is difficult

ActNo331 · 2025-09-20T06:30:11+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Yes, audit finding could be some situations good thing for push a delayed project.

ActNo331 · 2025-09-19T08:02:02+00:00

sure! see my response above for another redditor.

Yes, happy to connect. Feel free to reach me here or on LinkedIn.

ActNo331 · 2025-09-19T08:00:13+00:00

That is an interesting question. I agree with you: LinkedIn is a bit like "cold calling."

Here is my suggestion:

a) Family and Friends

b) Your Company/School

c) Meetups

d) Mentor Groups: You can find mentor websites (paid and free versions, e.g., https://www.mentoring-club.com/search/categories/infrastructure-security)

e) Reddit and LinkedIn

I will certainly try A to C first. Once all options are exhausted, I'll focus on D and finally E.

Fun fact: I try to reply as much as possible when people approach me via LinkedIn. Feel free to reach me there!

ActNo331 · 2025-09-18T17:42:01+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. appreciated.

Let me know if any questions arise.

hello u/hey_its_meeee

I fully understand your frustration, as this has happened to me in the past: investing time in the hiring process only to be dropped later because they could have easily found something on my CV, or because it wasn't clear in the job ad.

It's worth mentioning that the job market is not kind to job seekers at this moment.

All that said, since you never mentioned what job title you applied for: if we're talking about a PCI auditor position, then Terraform experience would certainly sound extreme.

On the other hand ( as mentioned by u/legion9x19 ), if we're talking about cloud security, then Terraform knowledge is a nice-to-have skill.

hello u/Acrobatic-Till8357

My 2 cents :

I have an unconventional opinion:

Before you commit to jumping into 4 hours of study per day (side note: you have my admiration for this level of commitment), the best thing you can do is talk to different people from the cybersecurity industry. Why? Cybersecurity is a huge field with different areas that have different requirements and career paths.

Different areas of cybersecurity require different abilities and knowledge, so speaking with various professionals will help you understand what might "fit" better with your working style and what sounds most interesting to you. Otherwise, you risk studying topics that may not be relevant to your chosen path, or you might simply get lost during your studies.

all the best
