I’m thinking about building something in the early-stage SaaS, and I keep hitting the same question
getting the first users is often way harder than building the product itself.
I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually gone through this stage.
- Where did your first users actually come from ?
- What was the biggest bottleneck: finding them, reaching them, or converting them ?
- How much time did you realistically spend per week on acquisition early on ?
I’m trying to understand the real day-to-day reality of early acquisition (not theory), because it seems wildly different depending on the founder.
