Most SaaS products don’t fail because of bad code.
Something I keep seeing with early-stage founders:
A lot of SaaS products struggle not because of development, but because there was no real demand to begin with.
Founders spend months building features, dashboards, and edge cases… and only then start thinking about users.
By that point, it’s already late.
A better approach: 1.Build the simplest possible MVP 2.Get it in front of real users immediately 3.Focus on distribution early 4.Let user behavior guide the product Products that reach users early improve and grow. Products built in isolation usually don’t. Do you validate first or build first?
