I've been seeing a lot of SaaS stuff on my Twitter feed lately. Do you think any SaaS products are overrated?

I'll start. I think shipfa.st is overrated, especially since it's making $123k/month. Why pay so much for a boilerplate?and also there are many oss alternatives

Debating overrated SaaS

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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?

Perplexing Startups

Founder

SAAS is too concentrated now, Do you know any saas startup doing out of box and is yet to be funded or just got funded? Happy to see some good ones.

Do you have any early stage SAAS startup doing so great?

Swayamvar as a Service. Who's in!?

Plans:
Indian client Indian partner ($5000)

Indian client NRI partner ($15000)

NRI client NRI partner ($30000)

10 partners will attend your ceremony. You can opt for additional partners for 5% on top of the base price for each additional partner.

Comment a startup's name, I'll share if it's promising or whatever I know

So, I run this Saas Feedspace.io. We launched 3 months back, We had two problems, traffic & relevant users. We are just starting so I went ahead and prepared an Appsumo launch. This Appsumo launch is supposed to get us visibility and early traffic, if people can't comapare us to our competitors, we can't even get sales. So i went ahead and figured out LTD plans from $49 to $499 Lifteime.

I thought I should reach out to early users and offer them 50% discount on buying LTD before Appsumo Launch, I assumed that I might get some 3-4 sales before Appsumo launch on 12th feb. But boy, I was wrong, I posted in 2 facebook groups and we closed about 52 LTD sales within 48 hours,
The users I spoke to mentioned:

gathering of reviews from all over the web
Audio reviews potential and high collection rates
Lifetime deal at discounted price
were all big reasons for them to quickly buy the LTD and call it a no brainer.

I am not sure, is this a good sign? I mean once I stop LTD will we have any MRR growth, I mean have a whole SEO and Performance plan for signups but I am unsure of MRR numbers, I didn;t expect this much sales from a simple post. 10 users directly asked for the $499 version and started using as well.

Can someone offer some advice here?

I launched SmartTask.io before this one Appsumo, we sold really well at that time, this is my second Appsumo launch!

Too Much sales, is this a bad sign?

Just trying to start supporting our local ecosystem more by using home grown alternatives. Think 100ms vs Agora, hubilo vs hopin, atlan vs alation. What are tools you like?

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?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What startup’s have bad sales org culture?

Any SaaS sales reps here ?

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?

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?
