Do you know any success cases of building SaaS without an audience?
I think there must be some
I think there must be lots that we don't hear about. My (future) customers are not on twitter, not on product hunt etc. If I built an audience, none of those people would be able to buy my (future) product. When you're working on something that serves a niche market that are not technologically inclined, I think building audience would serve different purposes (helping a community, building networks etc.)
nothing comes to my mind 🤯
