Some of my earliest paying customers for OnlineOrNot were folks I talked about the problem with, before I even started writing code (from my professional network). I was complaining that the existing website monitoring tools were too complicated and unusable, and I could probably do better in a weekend. It took seven days (https://onlineornot.com/building-saas-in-one-week-how-built-onlineornot https://onlineornot.com/building-saas-in-one-week-how-built-...), but I didn't have actual paying customers until I built a few more features. At this point, I think the idea of MVP-based development is dead - you really need to look like a proper business before folks will buy, unless you're doing something completely unique. The way around this is probably to incorporate as a business with several products FWIW. Almost three years later, I still find things to improve on a daily basis, so I guess I was wrong about that "better in a weekend" thing.
