Build Your SaaS

Hey Product Hunt! 37signals started an indie SaaS revolution when they launched Basecamp and Ruby on Rails. Since 2004, thousands of entrepreneurs, developers, designers, and product people have tried to capture some of that success by launching their own web apps. But what does it take to launch a Software as a Service business in 2018? "Build Your SaaS" follows our journey as we launch Transistor.fm. We cover topics like finding a cofounder, why we're using Rails, and how to validate your idea. Have a question you'd like us to cover on the show? Ask below!

Oh boy, this would have been awesome to have around when we were starting up Webflow. Looking forward to more content!

I'm a fan of Justin's previous podcasts. I like the authenticity he brings to the table when describe his personal wins or fails, and doesn't ignore the hard parts. The parts where opportunity and timing intersect to make or break a significant progression for a business. While lots of other podcasts focus solely on the wins, this podcast takes a wholesome view to building a business in 2018.

Pros:

Experienced speakers get to the nitty gritty of modern SaaS building

Cons:

Non yet

This is an *awesome* idea @mijustin -> things sure have changed a lot since 37signals released Basecamp. Love the first few episodes and I’m looking forward to following along on the journey and learning what you learn! This is a must listen podcast for anyone even just thinking about SaaS today.

Niiiiice, something new from Justin :) Congrats on the launch! Loving the first couple of episodes. It's great to have a podcast that doesn't sound like every other business podcast. Great work @mijustin!

One of my favorite things about Justin is that he really is the "internet stuntman" his Twitter bio claims — regularly testing, experimenting, and trailblazing in the world of online business. And (as others have already mentioned) the best part is that Justin is shares his results, both failures and victories, openly. If you're thinking about building a SaaS, you should listen to this podcast. It may save you some headaches and will likely give you a wealth of ideas. On a related note, I can't wait for the launch of Transistor.fm, @mijustin!

Pros:
