Once worked at a place in 2017 with a dipshit CIO. Guy spent his entire time trying to evangelize Teams as the reason to switch to Microsoft. He ended up leaving 11 months into the gig and we were more than happy to stay on Slack. It feels

You are correct that we charge a per org fee regardless of number of seats. For non-profits, we offer a 50% discount on the subscription price. All the nonprof needs to do to get the discount is email me at sai@kbee.app

You are definitely not missing out on anything. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to themselves OR isn't as healthy as they think. Everyone will agree that eating 6-8 slices of bread per day is NOT good for your health but will s

I didn’t do cold calling though maybe I should have. Instead, I trawled LinkedIn and used tools like hunter.io to find email addresses and then cold emailed folks. Fwiw, Apollo.io seems to do a good job surfacing contact info as well.

The b2b saas was a grind tbh. Lots of cold emailing directors & VPs. Classic top down sales motion. For Kbee, I actually wrote up our journey here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/our-journey-from-idea-to-p... Wo

Would love to learn more about your neobank! Would you be open to sharing the name? For context, I work as a PM for a company that has launched a bank product on a baas. Always looking for ways to help improve our internal tooling :)

Keep your day job and start selling your solution before you build anything. Get 10-15 companies to sign the dotted line for your saas and ask them to start paying in Month 1. Then hustle on your off-hours to build the solution and get it o
