If I Had to Start a SaaS From Scratch in 2025, I’d Do This…

2025 is different.

More SaaS than ever.
More noise.
More founders building the same tools with the same playbooks.

So what would I do if I had to start from zero again — no product, no list, no brand?

👇 This is the exact game plan I’d follow — the strategy I now wish I knew when I launched my first product.

And if you're building this year, this could save you 6 months of wasted time.

🚀 Step 1: Start With the Audience, Not the Product
Old way: Think of an idea → Build it → Try to find users
2025 way: Find users → Talk to them → Build for their pain

Where I’d look:

Indie Hackers

Twitter/X

Reddit (niche subreddits)

Discord/Slack groups

YouTube comment sections

I'd watch what people complain about, and message them to ask:

"What do you currently use? What's missing?"

Goldmine.

🧱 Step 2: Solve One Pain. Not Many.
I used to try and build all the features people asked for. Mistake.

If I were starting now, I'd ask:

“What job are people hiring this for?”

“Can I solve that with one core feature?”

🧠 The best SaaS doesn’t do everything — it does one thing brilliantly.

✅ Example niches:

Creators trying to monetize faster

Remote teams struggling with async work

Freelancers tired of admin tasks

Small market = fast traction.

🌐 Step 3: Build a Simple MVP in 7 Days
You don’t need a full dashboard, auth system, and Stripe integration on day one.

I’d use:

Tally or Typeform for feedback

Framer or Carrd for the landing page

Notion or Glide for no-code MVP

Stripe Checkout or Lemon Squeezy for payments

The goal is proof, not perfection.

🧲 Step 4: Share Everything (Build in Public)
I'd start posting from Day 1, not "after launch."

What to post:

Pain point I’m solving

Progress updates

Polls asking for feedback

Screenshots or rough UI

Wins and losses

Post on:

X/Twitter

Indie Hackers

Reddit

LinkedIn (yes, it works!)

People follow stories, not startups.

📩 Step 5: Use a Micro Funnel (That Works on Autopilot)
Here's what I’d set up:

Landing page with a clear promise + email form

Automated email sequence with:

Welcome email

Free value (template/tool)

Call to Action (Try the MVP or Book a call)

Use:

MailerLite, ConvertKit, or Beehiiv

🔥 This sells while I sleep.

💥 Step 6: Launch Small, Learn Fast
I wouldn't wait for a “big” launch.
I’d launch small, messy, and often.

Channels:

X/Twitter

Indie Hackers

Subreddits

DM outreach

Founder communities

I’d ask for:

Feedback

Critique

Early adopters

Testimonials

Every launch teaches. Every user counts.

You don’t need 1,000 users — you need 10 who love it.

🛠 Tools I’d Use in 2025 (No-Code + AI Stack)
Framer – Landing pages

Tally – Forms & feedback

Loom – Quick demo videos

Canva – Graphics

ChatGPT – Copy, outreach, content

Beehiiv – Email & newsletter

Fathom – Analytics

Zapier – Automation

One founder. 10 tools. Zero team.

🎯 Final Thoughts
If I had to start a SaaS in 2025?

I wouldn’t build more. I’d validate faster.
I wouldn’t launch once. I’d launch constantly.
I wouldn’t chase trends. I’d solve real pains.

Because the truth is:

The best growth strategy is to care more than the competition.

And if you keep showing up, keep talking to users, and keep solving real problems — you’ll win.

🔖 TL;DR (Copy This Startup Blueprint)
Find users before you build

Solve one problem, really well

Build tiny, launch fast

Document everything in public

Use simple tools to stay lean

Let automation work while you rest

💡 Grow smarter, not louder.
