A few months ago, saasyDB had research on 11,000 SaaS companies in it. As of this morning, it has research on 73,078 SaaS companies. My goal is to have 100,000 SaaS companies in it before the year ends. I think I can do it.

As an entrepreneur, I've grown to sort of hate Black Friday / Cyber Monday. It's a week where I feel pressure to promote and make sales, but my kids are off from school, and everyone else is mostly off from work. So it's harder to work. contd ...

hot startup take, if you don't have ideas constantly, then being a founder isn't right for you. People who say "I just need an idea to get started", need to go work for someone with ideas. The ideas and opportunities should be obvious from your day to day work and conversations.

Are you planning on doing a Black Friday / Cyber Monday deal for your Startup? Where will you promote it?

Every day this week, I'm trying to take a break during work to go on a walk, with a weighted back pack, no headphones or anything, just a boring break Also doing "OMAD" 3x a week, so just a couple protein shakes in the afternoon, then dinner What do you do to keep from getting fat and insane??

My "most interesting" startup was one that brokered feedback on dating profiles, like you could get 5 women to tell you which pictures were best/worst, how to improve the copy on your profile, etc. It was the worst business model, super hard to build, and very hard to market. RIP.

I spent three hours figuring out how to do a more advanced filter in saasyDB, I'm excited to deploy it tomorrow. Right after I figured it out, I got a call that my three year old threw up at school and I had to leave work for a bit. Building a startup while trying to be a present dad is hard

I've got a goal every week of adding 5000+ SaaS companies to the saasyDB database. Today I pushed 5,263 US SaaS companies live. If you're researching SaaS companies, check out saasyDB.

Today's goals for saasyDB are to 1) publish information on 5,000 SaaS companies in the US 2) finish and deploy comma separated search terms in the job title filter (trickier than you might imagine!) 3) launch a new cold email campaign What about you? What are your goals for the day? #buildin

Goodness, gracious. This piece is among the best I’ve read in awhile. Great work @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com.

Working on a batch of SaaS companies now, the first big chunk of research to go into the system when the "company data only" offer is live, about 20k companies GetLatka has about 40k SaaS companies, and my goal is to have more than them by the end of this quarter 😎

I'm hiring a VA to speed up the most boring, monotonous aspects of my research on SaaS companies Goal is to launch an offer for just SaaS company data within saasyDB, for people who just want good clean lists of SaaS companies, and they can get the leads elsewhere Exciting times

"No one does SaaS better than saasyDB" says one of my users I'm trying to build the best SaaS database possible What is wild is that it's totally possible for me to do so.

What's your favorite cold email related tool? I'm trying to make an exhaustive list of the best tools for my cold email course

Better tools are always worth it.

Build in Public update: adding a “Legacy” filter to my SaaS company database so users can sort companies that are more than twenty years old. It requires an update to the data, but that allows me to update funding info on all the companies and fill in some missing data bits 😎 #buildinpublic #saas

Just scheduled to be recorded for the SaaSy as Fuck podcast next week, my favorite podcast about the SaaS Industry. No idea when my episode will air but check out what they've done recently at saasyasfuck.substack.com/s/podcast

Starting a little cold email experiment: One campaign to ~2000 leads, and it's a mix of templates that I've written. Another campaign to ~2000 leads, and it's a mix of templates written by a psychology based cold email writer GPT. Which do you think will perform best? We'll find out in a week

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

SaaS pricing is such a bear. Redoing saasyDB's pricing now. I am... 1) Reviewing competitors' pricing, and confirming I'm way too cheap 2) Simplifying things, and having two plans, a standard one and an unlimited one 3) Eliminating Lifetime Deals, offering monthly and annual plans only

I launched an alpha version of a feature for my startup today that I’ve been working on for a year. It feels awesome.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

My big goals for the week for saasyDB: 1- Prep and start a new batch of research on SaaS companies 2- Finish the employee search page and invite select beta users to it 3- Cull non-SaaS companies from the database What are your big goals for the week? #buildinpublic #saas #startup

My main goal for this week is to get the research system for saasyDB up and running again. I foolishly have not been researching more and more SaaS companies for the database. I'd ideally research and add employee info for 1,000 SaaS companies a week to the system.

A user asked me to pull SaaS company leads data for him manually, and I realized that finishing up an alpha version of the employee search page was doable and the easiest way to just get his data out. And it was pretty exciting to actually use this page for the first time.

I've got my "AI-enabled SaaS double checker" up and running WTF is that? basically it shows the content of a site to chatGPT and says "Are you sure this is a SaaS company?"

To try to confirm that a SaaS company in the database truly is a SaaS company: 1-I'm using exa AI to take the content of a website 2-And then sending that content to ChatGPT to analyze for a SaaS or not

I have sent 12 linkedin messages using saasyDB data for targeting, and booked 2 calls from it, and had another person ask for more info. This is wild to me.

Every sex robot movie / tv show always ends bad and they kill the humans but I’m still like “hmmm idk a sex robot sounds pretty dope”

My goals for saasyDB this week are to push a "export all filtered leads" button to all users, and to push the employee search page beta to test users. What are your goals for the week?

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Just republished a classic article! 👇🏾 Freemium means high costs, low conversion, and customer feedback dominated by the non-ideal customer. Treat it as a marketing expense to ensure ROI. Many thanks for spreading the love with ❤️ and 🔁!
