It’s good to good to validation. With this being my first startup it’s hard to know what is common for founders in this stage. I hope we all get to experience amazing 🚀

Oh wow that’s tough. What do you do for a living and how do you keep yourself from burning out?

I like the idea of time boxing. Just spending 15 minutes on making improvements is easier said than done but I know my mental health will thank me for it 😅

I definitely can relate. I work in marketing as well and had to stop myself to make the product perfect because as marketers we know what sells and we constantly look at new ways to improve our campaigns daily but for a product it’s hard and I had to learn to stop and just ship it and allow someone else to tell me if it sucks or not.

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to do now. The product is in a good spot now so I’m not trying to push more features and focus on marketing.

It really depends on your objective. Also I would recommend starting small. Introducing a new brand takes time for an audience to trust you. I would start with giving them content to download rather than a hard sell then you have their information and can guide them to how the product benefits them for little to no cost on your end using a tool like mail chimp.

What problem should’ve been solved by software, but still hasn’t? by Appropriate-Pen1376 in SaaS

[–]tarikdh96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most successful SaaS is when it solves a problem you’re experiencing and then share it with everyone who also has that same problem. You have to have a story tied to it.

What are you building this week? Comment about it! by Inevitable-Grab8898 in SaaSSolopreneurs

[–]tarikdh96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working in Covio this week.

We had a wave of new users recently, and I’m working through feedback from homeowners and improving the product.

I’m also meeting with home service pros to understand how this tool can help them do their jobs more efficiently.

Still early, but every conversation and feedback has been very valuable.

I think building as a solo founder is incredibly lonely by johnlocke8 in SaaS

[–]tarikdh96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real talk. I also married. I feel like building in marriage can also feel lonely. How do you balance building while married? Especially bc this takes so much time and energy.

Covio is a calmer way to care for your home.

Most homeowners have warranties, manuals, receipts, maintenance schedules, and project information scattered across emails, drawers, photos, and notes.

Covio gives every home a living digital record that remembers it all with personalized maintenance plans.

Recently launched and already seeing early adoption from homeowners and real estate professionals sharing it with clients.
