It was in my first SaaS, which is a lead capture software and that connects with major email tools and CRMs, so when I built those integrations, those big companies pushed newsletters about us and that drove free traffic and free signups, then some converted to paid, very few, but, that felt like winning the whole world, when someone visits your products and finds it great, then puts their card to pay, and then leave some feedback and social mentions, thats best, top of the world feeling. it was 2 months after our first release.

@sanhq That's great

Hey! We got our first paid user during PH launch. We were watching user list during launch, when my co-founder told me: "look, this guy has a PRO (paid) account!" Great feeling!

The first paying user (yes, just one) was around 2 months after my first launch. I already had almost around 100 free users by then, and definitely did not expect somebody to start paying for it soon. But one day, I randomly happened to check my startup's Stripe page, and saw that I had received a new paid user! I'm pretty sure I was just silent in shock for a while, and then immediately told everyone I knew about it. Felt great, almost like a validation that the product is actually useful to others!

Our first paying customer signed up just two days after launch, and it felt like a huge validation of all the hard work our team had put in. It was an exhilarating moment that really fueled our passion and drive to keep improving.

Our first paying user came just a week after launch, and it was an electrifying moment of validation for all the hard work our team poured into the product. It felt like a huge milestone and a sign that we were truly onto something special.

@cen_xu That sounds really cool
Russ Halilov
She is the founder of another SaaS company in the UK. Her team was trialing the product for 1.5 months for free. They paid once we opened our beta. IT FELT AMAZING :)

@russ_halilov Unbelievable!!! Awasome)

I think the first paying customers are a very special feeling. You get confirmation that what you have come up with in theory actually solves a real problem in practice. A problem that customers are prepared to pay for. It's not even about the amount. As a founder, the mere fact that the product has a paid value means everything.
Grant Sirekanyan
@henry_burkert In my opinion, so too.
