How to Start Your SaaS in 2 Minutes

In partnership with

Remember that business idea you had in the shower six months ago? The one you scribbled onto a napkin during lunch? It's still there, isn't it?

Waiting.

Most people never start because they think building a SaaS requires coding wizardry, venture capital, and years of development. They're wrong.

I built my first SaaS in under two minutes. No joke. While my friends debated tech stacks and funding strategies, I already had paying customers.

Here's the truth they don't tell you: The perfect product doesn't exist. Your first version will be embarrassingly simple. And that's exactly how it should be.

Think about it. Airbnb started as an air mattress on a floor. Dropbox began as a simple video demo. Slack was a failed game company's internal tool.

Starting now means accepting imperfection. It means using no-code tools instead of waiting to learn programming. It means launching with core features that solve one specific problem brilliantly rather than twenty problems poorly.

The magic happens when you put something real in front of actual users. Their feedback—their confused looks, their excited emails, their credit card payments—tells you everything you need to know about what to build next.

Every day you wait is a day someone else might solve the problem you've identified. Every hour spent perfecting features no one asked for is an hour wasted.

I've seen brilliant people spend years building products no one wanted. I've watched mediocre ideas flourish because they launched quickly and adapted faster.

The tools available today are astonishing. Webflow for your landing page. Stripe for payments. Airtable for your database. Zapier to connect everything.
