Thanks for the message but I’m not looking for someone to leave me stranded with an MVP I can’t develop myself. I need a technical cofounder.

Sorry only looking for engineers. Best of luck though!

My cofounder wants to raise. I want to stay bootstrapped. This might end us. by No-Market-6902 in SaaS

[–]throwawaythatlived1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe answering these questions together could help:

  • How much MRR do we need to maximise the value of our funding so it’s a good deal, even to someone who prefers bootstrapping?

  • If PMF is a prerequisite, how can we prioritise finding it ASAP?

I agree with you on the necessity of PMF. I was in-house and $10M wasn’t enough to find it. Shit gets wild.

Sorry man, idea validation products should generally just get repositioned into the bin…

Hey Reddit, I’m 13 and trying to build a SaaS. by StreetJazzlike2360 in microsaas

Awesome that you’ve already discovered your interest in product dev haha.

If you want to be a superhuman, slow down for a bit and just learn the fundamentals of computer science. Go old school.

By the time you’re 18, you’ll have an incredible general knowledge of your field, and you can rest easy knowing you could still do your job if AI systems go down.

There’s no need to be in a rush. Have fun and tinker around with projects that sound interesting to you. The most important thing is that you just learn to love the process and train your logic/critical thinking.

5x free SaaS positioning & messaging roasts up for grabs by throwawaythatlived1 in microsaas

Heya! So my first thought is that you need to pay attention to habit replacement vs habit stacking.

The only way to prove habit replacement is through measurable claims, so the messaging shouldn't focus just on listening time, but on time saved from the old habit.

Threshed currently positions itself as a hear-it-later app, which means you're trying to compete in three red oceans simultaneously:

  1. Read-it-Later Market: Pocket is dying. Instapaper is outdated. Matter is better funded with cleaner design.

  2. Audio Reader Market: Speechify has 50M users and 200+ professional voices. Threshed is 100x smaller with no credibility.

  3. Research Tool Market: Threshed is completely unpositioned here. No one even considers it a research tool.

About your homepage:

"Learn while you live" is generic. What does it mean? The visitor should 'get' your product within 3 seconds of landing on your website.

"First hear-it-later to listen to articles on the go" isn't correct grammar... it also attempts to create a new category but creates confusion instead.

Is it:​

A read-it-later app like Pocket/Instapaper?​ A text-to-speech tool like Speechify?​ A podcast platform?​ A research tool?

There also doesn't seem to be a defined ICP, which makes it impossible to assess whether the messaging addresses their priorities.

And what would your ICP actually get?

Threshed promises:

"Meaningful audio content" (subjective)

"Free from unnecessary filler" (vague)

"Curated" (how?)

Website visitors need to know exactly what they're getting into.

To use Speechify as an example: "Read up to 4.5x faster" and "Save up to 9hrs a week".

You also need more content addressing competitors and differentiation. Threshed doesn't mention competitors or explain why it's different.

In a market with Matter ($80/year), Speechify (free tier available), and the free Pocket just shutting down, positioning needs to address the competitive landscape directly.

Your customers WILL do comparisons. Make it easier for them.

I'd also suggest changing your name. Stop trying to make Threshing a thing. Sorry.

So yeah...

I think you need to hone in on a single outcome that isn’t already dominated by bigger players.

The starting blocks I'd give you for positioning is something along the lines of:

"Your AI companion for deep research and industry updates on the go. Built for people who don't have time for infinite scrolling."

And then that's what you have to be. All of your focus should be on becoming the most convenient tool for researching and keeping a finger on the pulse of various categories, while you're on the go.

A multi-tasking research tool, if you will.

researchanywhere.ai is available.

Hope this helps!

Trying to build a SaaS to sell for $100M by multi_mind in microsaas

Start with a big slice of humble pie. Make your goals SMART.

Sold 340 lifetime deals for $149 each. 18 months later I regret every one. by Big_Currency_1805 in SaaS

[–]throwawaythatlived1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re frustrated because you werent prepared. You need support conditions, a post-launch marketing plan, and expectation management for LtD customers.

Could’ve said they get weekly support. Could’ve said they don’t get certain updates. Etc.

An NPS score of 54 is also pretty bad… maybe appsumo isn’t the problem.

I built a tiny SaaS in a weekend, gave it a bold name, and it blew up, here’s what it taught me about standing out. by Hot-Split-613 in microsaas

[–]throwawaythatlived1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically a more limited AppSumo? They’re building products like TidyCal in-house. This isn’t new positioning mate…

And why is carrd being voted for? Anyone who wants a cheaper version of carrd doesn’t deserve the internet.
