Finding the first 10 users before building a SaaS product
Early matters before spending months building a software service. The main questions are how to find the first 10 users, whether should start before the product exists, and which channels are worth trying. Possible channels include Reddit, SEO, , online communities, X, and LinkedIn.
Another key issue is how to judge whether an idea is worth pursuing and when there is enough to start building. The idea is still private, so the goal is to learn from founders who have already tested demand, made mistakes, and found early users.
