B2C saas is much harder to make successful without proper traction. Not to mention any cool tech you have will get copied by the big players

Bro I love this category. Some successful apps are chat gpt, notion, LinkedIn,

But again they make most money through businesses. ChatGPT again doesn't sell to consumers, it's revenue is from business. Talking about LinkedIn, it's not SaaS, it's a social network that branched out different SaaS from its underlying data

Hey peeps, do you guys know of any consumer SaaS that went big without having a B2B angle in place? 

One example would be Splitwise (again not that big). Other apps like Netflix, Bumble, do have to bring supply of engaging content for consumption or partners for matchmaking respectively, so that's not pure consumer SaaS

I feel every SaaS company that will go big will have a B2B angle associated with it. Let me know what you think?

Consumer(B2C) SaaS not a big opportunity?

Consumer(B2C) SaaS not a big opportunity?- Grapevine

Hey startup founders, who've been there and done that. Is ConsumerTech dead with all the giant social networks already taking a users' screen time? A recent YC video (tarpit idea) suggested that B2B SaaS is good, B2C is shit. 

I feel if we have to build something big in India, for the people, the threshold is really high for a social network. On the other hand, B2C SaaS is not something that people would pay for easily, making it less scalable. So, what should one go about this?

I might probably regret this especially since I’ve seen a lot of backlash on this platform for crypto. 

But honestly, this has been a rewarding stint. And note that I didn’t say “crypto” as I don’t always advice people to invest in crypto.

Growth Manager

Was asking for some advice on fundraising. Got to know if you are building something with no revenue, literally impossible to raise.

He explained how hard it is even for the current founders and expecting 100s of startups to fail next year with talent going cheap due to all the layoffs.

Very hard to think how to monetise B2C if people don’t even link their credit or debit cards with Apple Pay and Android for in-app purchases. Also for B2B Saas, it’s better to build for US from India than building for India.

Just “profit” over growth now. Nothing else matters 💭

Had a chat with a Unicorn Founder

Viners, finally I’m frustrated enough to make a move on building my own business.

Just curious about what b2c SaaS would you not mind paying 100 / month for? Preferably in the capital markets / personal finance space?

SaaS product you’d pay 100 / month for?

Software Developer

Last 3 years of startups have been all about SaaS. I just don't get it. So far, it was about solving real problems at scale.
First with consumer websites (google etc), then software, then shopping & delivery (amazon swiggy zomato fk etc etc) 

And now, it's all SaaS:
- Imma build a startup to help white businessmen in America do better billing 
- Imma build a 360 degree feedback tool specifically for Norwegian miners 
- Imma build a SaaS software to help HR people note down who isn't dressed properly
- Imma build a software to help hillbillies in the US better manage their trucking company

Like how are smart people in India taking up entrepreneurship to build these ideas that are dull and feel like the end of life? How does anybody become excited by this? 

is it just money? what am I missing?

Analyst

Except a couple of credit on UPI/wealth tech companies, I haven't seen any cool digital B2C companies pop up in recent times.

Are new B2C ideas too risky for investors? What cool early stage consumer products (other than GV) do you use?

Are early stage B2C products dead?

What are some of the great companies to work for  as a starting PM post MBA in India. I think in many of companies role of PM is not properly defined and it caters to borderline project management.

Great companies to work for as a PM

I've observed Healthcare is one. I was exploring building some saas products. So wanted to check which industries it'll have the most impact

Which industries has a lack of saas products ?

Founder’s Office

Can anyone help me how to tackle b2b products especially dashboards ux problem statements because most of the time i cannot find references to understand how other products solved some kind of issue

While in B2C it looks so easy and user research is also easier to find..

How can I be good at b2b what key aspects should i understand to be good at these companies who solve enterprise problems (saas)

B2B vs B2C(mobile apps)

UX/UI Designer

Hey Folks,

In B2B apart from 

1. Content Marketing
2. Email Marketing 
3. Social Media Campaigns
4. Webinars
5. Influencer/affiliate collaboration
6. Renewals / retargeting 
7. Targeted marketing

Which other touch point am I missing or should add for impact on lead gen?

B2B SaaS Lead and Demand Gen.

What are your thoughts on the term that I am hearing in some of the podcasts (primary where one of the guest/organiser is a VC) - 'Founder market fit'. Is it really important/relevant/practical especially for aspiring entrepreneurs who have work experience (say 5-10 years)

Founder Market Fit

When will founders learn that it is almost impossible to make a profitable consumer oriented startup in India.

India is NOT USA. In India, people are not easily going to pay for your service. 

It is just a matter of time before most of them packs their bag.

Gloomy future for 99% of Indian startups

Soch raha hoon Workday, Greenhouse aur Darwinbox mein hi apply kar doo. Job post karne wali company bhale hi band ho jaye lekin inki SaaS chalti rahegi. Should I move from B2C to B2B SaaS? How’s the grass on the other side? Cos everywhere else it seems burning.
