I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask about this as I was very naive at that point in my journey. Launching Preceden was literally posting on HackerNews and hoping for the best.
I would encourage you to join Microconf Connect, a Slack community of software entrepreneurs, where topics like this are discussed often: https://microconf.com/connect https://microconf.com/connect. Many of the old Microconf conference presentations are also on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MicroConf https://www.youtube.com/c/MicroConf
- huhtenberg 4y agoIf I read it correctly, Microconf Connect is for _SaaS_ founders only. This excludes all small software shops and single-man ops that do conventional desktop software. The community would easily grow 2x if the SaaS restriction is removed.
- rwalling 4y agoWe wouldn’t “easily grow 2x” if we served every type of software entrepreneur. We used to cater to all software: mobile apps, desktop, WordPress, etc. and we still have many folks in the community who are non-SaaS. But the focus on SaaS was a spark that dramatically increased growth as it allowed us to optimize everything we offer (content, community, masterminds) on the specific problems SaaS folks face. We don’t restrict folks who can join based on the type of software, so “restriction” is not the right word to use there. It’s just a focus. And it was a great choice, allowing us to be the best in the world at what we do (rather than serving a broader market, poorly).
