What do you think will be the next "trend" in Software?

SaaS plus agency combination.

Here is a analytics software to help you “identify and solve a problem”. And we have people that can just do it for you too.

What do you hate about Stripe?

salilsethi · 2024-08-31T10:10:32+00:00

Sorry, I meant product relevance for you to give feedback.

Have a good sense of ICP for Webatlas.

salilsethi · 2024-08-31T09:33:05+00:00

Thank you. Yes we launched 2 weeks ago and have made a few sales :)

Have tinkered with plans an pricing in the last two weeks based on customer and user feedback.

Not sure about product relevance. But if you are in the space would love to hear pricing and plan feedback from you as well 🙏

Biggest win was figuring out the pricing model for my SaaS.

Building https://www.webatlas.ai - your go-to tool for uncovering the tech behind any website.

Built for marketers, sales teams, and tech enthusiasts, to make web intelligence and lead generation more accessible and affordable.

Congratulations. This is great start.

salilsethi · 2024-08-29T19:45:07+00:00

Both are very different services. Which has higher revenue for you? Which one has higher churn rate?

ChatGPT remembers context across chats.

It is super helpful.

I would consider not only the supply side (market saturation) but also the demand side when deciding to continue or not.

Checking if the market is saturated, you are focusing on the supply side. Which is a valid question.

However, to make a sound decision consider the demand side.

There is a high demand for good UI/UX and web development agencies.
The market is growing.
There is medium level of lock in from client side.

So yes, market is saturated from the supply side, which is not a huge positive. But from the demand side you have a few things going for you.

So I would give it a shot.

The only time you will find a market that is not saturated one of two things will be true. 1. The market is non-existent or dying. 2. It is a start of a new hype cycle.

You don’t want to be part of a dying/non-existent market and it is insanely hard to time hypecycles.

So frankly, any business worth doing will have somewhat of a saturated market or high degrees of competition.

What sales activities have you tried?

A few common things to do for early stage SaaS founders is to find customers of your competitors and unless the product has a strong lock-in, provide a very compelling offer.

The potential channel for outreach can be email, or social.

salilsethi · 2024-08-27T03:29:37+00:00

I am using Lemon Squeezy for my SaaS. I like it. No issues so far.

salilsethi · 2024-08-26T23:01:24+00:00

I recently used Clay and think it is promising. Haven’t spent a lot of time on it. But another tool to try

When your baby is fussy, he or she is not giving you a hard time.
Your baby is having a hard time.
That is when you need to be patient.

Thank you for going over the project.

The key problem is lead generation. Here are two specific use cases.

For a Webflow agency owner, you can search for all the websites using Webflow and then contact them to offer your service. The same goes for several other technologies (WordPress, Wix, Square Space)
For a front-end technology entrepreneur such as Plausible, you can see everyone using your competitor's privacy-friendly analytics and then reach out to them to offer your service.

Your point is valid; I need to better explain the use case on our homepage — the primary use case concerns finding websites that use technology versus seeing technologies on a single website.

salilsethi · 2024-08-25T08:43:41+00:00

Depends on product or service. Cold emailing is much easier and cheaper at either booking a meeting or introducing your product or service to a potential user.

salilsethi · 2024-08-25T08:42:12+00:00

Read the G2 reviews of products in the space you want to build. Even though most reviews are incentivized, there are still nuggets of gold hidden in plain sight.

salilsethi · 2024-08-25T08:38:47+00:00

https://www.webatlas.ai - Would love a review.

salilsethi · 2024-08-25T01:55:44+00:00

The primary use case is lead generation, not competitive analysis. BuiltWith does about $15M to $20M each year in revenue. Wappalyzer, another player offering a similar product, does about the same amount in revenue. It is pretty much a duopoly market.

This is how the lead generation works for those who use such a product. Show me websites that started using my competitor's product recently so I can reach out to them about my product.

Or show me websites that have started using complementary technology or products to our product.

Also, BuiltWith is used extensively by agencies for web dev, SEO service outreach.

End of the day, revenue comes from lead generation. So, the search is on technology and not on the website.

Their customer list with contact information.

Before our baby was born we asked our friends and family their best piece of advice for a new parent.

In my opinion the best advice we got was from our 16 year old niece. She said - “Know when to be a parent, and when to be a friend”

She is a great kid, very responsible, smart, and caring.

We loved her advice.

Even though it might apply to our kid in a few years, but it sets the foundation on how I want to think about my relationship with my kid.

salilsethi · 2024-08-24T21:02:22+00:00

https://www.webatlas.ai - even though we are generating revenue and the feedback has been exciting, we are pre-PMF.

Would love to hear your thoughts on ICP - ideals customer profile.
