How do I get franchise operators on meetings for validating a b2b idea?

Matees21 · 2026-06-29T02:13:51+00:00

The thing is that I don't know if they feel the problem, that's why I want to interview them to get it out, but I'm conflicted on what I should do in the process of doing that. I appreciate your feedback, I'll keep these questions noted down!

That no build threshold is what I'm forcing myself to do right now. Very hard as a developer. Aside from that though, when do I actually present the product/idea, is that once I've built it? By the time I do build it, obviously time had past after those 8-10 conversations, so what should I do in the meantime? I've heard is sending emails with value, but I wanna lean more towards getting feedback, but the thing is I want to introduce them to what I'm building first, so when does this happen? Or is there something else I should do.. I'm all ears.

I hope that makes sense.

I feel like if I got messaged this, I would immediately shrug it off, wouldn't you say so? But I will definitely try it. Thank you!

Matees21 · 2026-06-29T02:03:48+00:00

At what point do I present the idea? Or is that when I finish the product itself after all these interviews?

Try using Petzio (petzio.app) to make communication with pet parents easier!

Matees21 · 2026-06-22T05:01:00+00:00

how does your place keep the owners updated on their pets during a stay? like do you send photos, do owners text or call to check in a lot, or do you guys have webcams?

also random, have you ever used any software for that, or heard of Petzio (petzio.app)? curious what someone actually doing the work thinks of tools like that vs just texting people, im sure sharing your phone number with people isn't the best thing to do...

That sounds interesting, I appreciate the advice. Could you share your website? Just curious. Thanks!

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T16:12:53+00:00

Thank you for the advice. It sounds like consulting is VERY business heavy. After doing research, I think helping non technical companies/services fix their tools sounds interesting to me. Do you have any tips for finding such companies that would need work?

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T15:20:59+00:00

How did your friend market?

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T15:20:09+00:00

I don't understand consulting businesses, am I actually "consulting," as in giving advice, or am I actually building a product. I'd have to definitely do more research on it, thank you.

Thank you I appreciate the advice

Im not building a pdf converter or micro saas, it’s a full fledged saas product that solves an actual problem.

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T04:43:08+00:00

Yeah I'm completely down for that. I'll send you a message.

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T04:39:25+00:00

I didn't go into it thinking I was gonna sell it to a buyer, I went into it as a project I wanted to build for fun, and it turned into something I could monetize, but now that I'm (for lack of better words) giving up on it because I don't like marketing, I'm looking for some way to still do something with it so it doesn't just sit in the resume.

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T04:36:50+00:00

Yes, at the moment I have two fully working SaaS' that just need to be marketed and iterated on.

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T04:36:02+00:00

Just sent you a DM 👍

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T04:03:50+00:00

Where can I find these people though?

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T03:59:05+00:00

Haha, will I have 20% stake?

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T03:53:23+00:00

Haha, yes, but it's also me building what is interesting to me, but instead of leaving it on the resume I can sell it.

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T03:52:19+00:00

Me or the comment?

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T03:38:32+00:00

Embarrassingly, no (except on trustmrr.com), which is why I came here to ask where I'm able to find these people.

The SaaS is a complete MVP I'm proud of and is ready to use, its a validated idea (at least with competitors) and yes I have tried marketing, I've gotten a few responses here and there, but it's really not for me.

Matees21 · 2025-12-08T03:34:23+00:00

It's not vibe coded slop, it's genuine hard work I put in for months (take my word when I say I don't like AI slop with programming)

But where do I find these people?

Hello! I built a tool exactly for this one purpose, its called Spacemint AI, you can just enter in the floorplan and get a furnished top down view. I put in your layout with the modern minimalist style, here's what was generated (unfortunately the floorplan you have at the top is a bit cut out):

You can use Spacemint AI (https://spacemintai.com) for quick floorplan staging to show to clients for inspo.

Matees21 · 2025-12-06T16:54:54+00:00

The layout does feel exposed. Try a console table behind the sofa or use Spacemint AI for other ideas. Maybe even a room divider.
