Building a successful SaaS in 90 days
Posted: Thu Dec 26, 2024 6:19 am
Building a SaaS in 90 days to bill 100k in 12 months. That was the goal we set ourselves on the SquadS Ventures board in the last days of 2023 after having on the table a Proof of Concept (POC) of what would quickly become Mental Test Lab.
The challenge of building a SaaS in record time
We are a company builder , we have to be able to do it… and replicate it! That was the challenging self-management phrase that prevailed in that meeting. We had in our hands an idea developed in the head of its creator, Martín Gabriel Jozami Nassif, who, a hands-on entrepreneur , had the ability to orchestrate it into a prototype. The business opportunity was clear: to digitalize the evaluation process of clinical psychopathologies. In other words, we had to reduce the time spent by mental health professionals in the detection of psychopathologies and their subsequent preparation of reports. By this date we had a POC that allowed us to explain what we wanted to deliver and a legion of SquaderS who had interviewed more than 200 professionals to validate our value proposition firsthand. Everything was going in our favor:
With these elements in hand, we organized ourselves for the next steps. Let’s get to work. Diego Noriega was in charge of making the Mental Test Lab proposal known to our future clients, and I was in charge of coordinating the efforts to set venezuela mobile phone numbers database up that little machine that would allow us to bill “automatically.” We found the ideal SquaderS team to accompany us on the journey… and everything happened.
The SaaS building process
I share with you the times and highlights of those “initial” 90 days whose output was an autonomous product capable of billing.
First, we spent 10 days on a deep dive with Martín Gabriel Jozami Nassif to “extract” from his head all that battery of ideas and knowledge that we had to transform into a product. I share some of those notes that I obtained during the round trip with Martín.
Phase 1: Extraction and conceptualization
During these first 10 days, we focused on thoroughly understanding Martin’s vision. It was an intense but necessary process to ensure that all the important details were on the table. We met daily, reviewed documents, brainstormed, and above all, listened a lot. The key here was to leave nothing to chance.
