Why You Shouldn’t Build A Software or App As A Solopreneur (Unless You Want To Be Broke)
And what you should do instead.
I was left stunned.
During my morning coffee in Bali, I spoke to a software founder. He built a B2B Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) AI that nurtures leads. His product was rapidly scaling in monthly recurring revenue and user adoption.
But he didn’t start there.
He started off his software as a service. Manually nurturing the clients. Identifying pain points. Building a client list. And then once he was ready to make this transition to SaaS, 80% of the job had already been done.
Here’s why this is the best approach.
The problem with the software-first approach.
Too many solopreneurs are obsessed with one thing:
Scale.
They mistakenly believe you need to build a product that has immediate scale.
Let’s be clear: Any business model is scalable.
But, they each have their own difficulty.
The question is not: Can you scale this model?
But rather: Do you have the skills to scale it?
