You have to pick a niche. You are right about that. It is a hard problem as well because there is no guarantee and you need to spend at least 18-36 months before you really quit and move on to next idea.
However, you have 8 years of working for customers, building their products etc. Are you saying that you never came across a few problems within those 8 years that you would like to solve ? Start there. I am sure there are a few areas/problems that you came across. I have been running a SAAS product for almost 7 years now and I have written at least 25 problems that I would love to solve some day if not doing the current business :).
- JohanCutych 6y agoWe did and actually many of the products we developed were developed like that. Even our last example https://www.getwelder.com/ https://www.getwelder.com/ The issue is that "success" rate of these products is pretty low generally speaking. And you need to dive deeper into the problem, stay with it for at least a year to understand it properly, build it and mostly build your audience that you matter too. That's where the "hack" of raising money comes in, but it don't feel right. First it feels like just throwing money at the problem and second we want to take investment from the point of power and not desperation to survive.
