This is the best way to begin your SAAS platform, for product-market fitment until stability and growth.
Uh what? How is this even feasible when you get to 1000s of clients?
- cgrealy 6y agoI guess it depends on your customer model, but surely the keyword there is "begin"? It all depends on your customer/business model. If you're expecting to get to 1000s of clients quickly (i.e. within 12 months), then this will be an ops nightmare, unless you have really good automation.
- sirkarthik 6y agoAFAIK, historically that hasn't happened. Sales is shit hard. Getting every single client is an art in itself. You got to be a magician to get even 5-10 clients signed-up readily in one go, for a start-up. And by the time you are having "N" paying clients that matches your metric for product-market fitness, you start evolving your architecture to the next level. This is where Product and Engineering sit-together to take that strategic decision on the path forward.
