I got time, money & dev skills. What should I do?

Dear fellow indiehackers,

after 3 years I decided to write my first post. Well, not a post, but a question. Agreed, it is kind of the question that indiehackers is all about, but I though ask it again. My specific situation is decribed in the title. Unfortunaltely i do not have any "unfair" advantages like special insights into an industy where people are underserved and can be the first one to build a perfect SaaS to fit their needs. I have biuld 3 SaaS projekts in the past but none has found a paying customer, so I shut them down. My feeling is most niches are being serves served already, which is wrong, I know, since I have this same feeling since I started caring about mirco-SaaS four years ago. I the meantime, obviously, many great SaaS have been created and scaled and sold.

So, should I give it another shot? How should I go about finding an idea? Sholud I rather buy a Saas? Where? Or should I rather call it a day and find a preoccupation outside of the indiehackers/saas/solopreneur world?

Let me know what you think!

    Hi Flo, you might check out the "Looking to partner up" forum to see who's looking for a technical co-founder. They might have the skills to do the marketing and promo and you can concentrate on the stuff you are good at.

    ALl the best!

      Hi Anil,
      thanks for your comment. I agree I should probably focus on sales. Like many indiehackers I tend to focus to much on coding.
      I think that buying a Saas could solve my issue a little bit, at least if that SaaS already has some traction. It might be easier to scale then. But of course, buying a SaaS is not easy either, and there are a lot of risks involved.
      Thanks again! --flo
