Assalamu alaykum,

Rayan here, based in London. I’ve been working with founders across the UK and the US for the past two years and have helped develop 20+ SaaS products.

Our specialty is designing and building SaaS products, especially AI agentic products. I see many founders making the same mistakes around design, go-to-market, product development, and launching without validating demand, or struggling to even take the first step.

I’d like to select one founder to advise and potentially help design their SaaS for free, inshaAllah.

Reply in the comments if that’s of interest.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking to acquire a small SaaS, micro-SaaS, or AI-powered tool to operate and grow long-term.
If you’re a founder even slightly considering selling, feel free to reach out.

What I’m looking for
SaaS / micro-SaaS / AI tools
Preferably B2B, but open to strong consumer products
Already live and being used (not pre-revenue)
Some existing traction:
paying customers, or
consistent inbound users / SEO traffic / organic growth
Open to small projects doing anywhere from a few hundred dollars MRR up to larger opportunities
Ideally simple to operate with clear growth potential
Bonus if there’s strong retention or a niche audience

What matters to me
I’m not looking to flip something quickly.
I’m looking for a real product with real users that I can continue building over time. I care a lot about maintaining and improving what founders have already built.

If you’ve built something valuable but no longer have the time, energy, or interest to keep pushing it forward, I’d be happy to chat.

DMs are open.

Hey SaaS,

I owe this community a lot since this is where things started.

Been developing over 20 SaaS as an AI-first venture development company since before ChatGPT was a big thing.

I’ve reviewed more than 200 founders and how they approach launching their startups. Here are few things I saw and that could benefit anyone that wants to join.

1. Stop looking for shortcuts

The path will likely be hard and longer than what you thought. If you’re after ease of life, you probably wont get that early on (I say probably because we can’t generalise). If you stay in the game long enough though, you’ll probably find yourself in that position though

Be mindful about the reason why you want to start a business.

2. Look to learn, always, and put your ego in check

If you genuinely enjoy learning then I’m worried about your competitors. You’ll face many challenges and ways to do things differently. If you’re humble enough to recognise that you’re not doing it the right way and change then you’ll be at the top on the long term.

3. The best profiles are usually industry experience -> solve a problem for that industry (this can vary a lot of course)

4. Don’t follow the latest hype, you’ll always be one step behind.

Rather build your conviction, be contrarian, one thing that you think is not working well and you’re convinced you can change it. Keep at it until the market catches up to you, don’t do the opposite.

Again I’ve seen some businesses actually playing on the arbitrage of markets and launching opportunities in market that the technology didn’t reach yet.

5. Don’t build from assumption

Be very careful about your assumption and test it against the market. What you should consider a propriety and get to the truth and distill your ideas back to their fundamentals

If you’re looking to build in the AI space, feel free to reach out and I’ll see if I can provide further advices! (Please be mindful I might take a bit long to respond)

Hope this was useful

Cheers,
