Start micro-SaaS with pain, validation, then product

The lesson comes from spending six years building large products quickly, only to find that nobody wanted them. The proposed order is simple: first find a real customer pain, then check in a simple way that the pain is real, and only then build the product. This means starting from a problem, not from a feature idea.

The proposal is to form a small group of skilled who think this way, create many products, them, and run them. The suggested deal is that would be shared equally.

Key points

  • Building big products for years can still fail if there is no .
  • The proposed sequence is pain first, simple second, product third.
  • The focus is problem-led building, not feature-led building.
  • The idea is to produce many products and test them in the market.
  • The collaboration model is described only as equal sharing.
