I'm looking to invest $500-$900/month into an Algerian SaaS

I'm considering putting around $500-$900/month into an existing Algerian SaaS for the next 6–12 months

I'm not looking to invest passively. I'd rather join something that's already working and help make it bigger

I'm particularly interested in a SaaS that:

  • Already has a working product
  • Has real users or paying customers
  • Has demonstrated demand but needs more execution/growth
  • Could benefit from additional technical, product, or marketing resources

The idea is to work directly with the existing founder/team and put the money where it can actually move the business forward: customer acquisition, infrastructure, development, sales, etc.

If you're currently building and operating a SaaS in Algeria and this sounds relevant, I'd be interested in hearing what you're working on and where the business is today

Looking for a Technical Co-Founder ($0 Budget, $100B Vision)

I've just had an idea that literally kept me awake until 4 AM, I genuinely believe it's bigger than Google, Uber, OpenAI, Amazon, and Bitcoin combined, unfortunately, I can't tell you what it is because of NDAs (that don't exist yet)

I built a GitLab Duo skill that traces any SDLC event to its source merge request (and can open a fix). It's a hackathon project - I'd love bug reports if you try it

I'm building Orbit Navigator for the GitLab Transcend Hackathon. It's a Duo skill that uses GitLab Orbit's knowledge graph to trace any SDLC event back to the merge request behind it — and it can open a draft fix.

What it does (one graph query each):

  • Which MR shipped what's currently in production?
  • Why did the pipeline fail, and which job?
  • What breaks if I change this shared library? (blast radius)
  • Who resolved these vulnerabilities?
  • /guardian --remediate — finds vulnerable dependencies and opens a draft MR that bumps them to fixed versions.

It's just a skill file (no backend, no vector DB) that runs through the Duo CLI with the Orbit MCP connected. The agent calls query_graph on the live knowledge graph directly.

👉 Try the agent directly (AI Catalog): https://gitlab.com/explore/ai-catalog/agents/1011766/

Source code + how to run it from the CLI: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-ai-hackathon/transcend/12108860

Honest heads-up: it's built on the Orbit beta, so there are real rough edges. For example, security Finding nodes get purged in the current beta, so some security traces pivot to durable Vulnerability nodes instead. Custom agents also don't get Orbit by default — you connect it via the Orbit MCP.

What I'd love: if you try it, please break it and tell me. Bug reports, rough edges, queries that return wrong or empty results — all welcome. Easiest way is an issue on the project linked above, or just drop a comment here.

Thanks!

What Actually Worked to Get Your First SaaS Customers?

How did you get your first paying customers?

Everyone talks about scaling to 1,000+ customers, but getting the first 10 is usually the hardest milestone.

If you've built a SaaS, I'd love to hear your story:

- How did you find your first customers?
- What acquisition channel worked best?
- What mistakes did you make along the way?
- What advice would you give to founders who are still at zero?

في الجزائر لدينا عقول كثيرة لكن ينقصنا التعاون والثقة بين بعضنا

أكبر كذبة يصدقها الكثير من رواد الأعمال في الجزائر هي سأنجح وحدي و المشكل أن الكثير منا غارق ومعزول ويعاني داخل قوقعته:

- يعمل وحده

- يفكر وحده

- يتخذ القرارات وحده

- يخاف مشاركة فكرته

- يخاف من الشراكة

- أحيانا جهل بطريقة النجاح وفوائد العمل الجماعي

- يحاول حمل كل شيء فوق كتفيه ويبقى يعاني وحده

حتى أفضل الستارت آب في العالم لم تبنى بشخص واحد و العمل الجماعي ليس ضعفا أحيانا هو أسرع طريق للنجاح

ما رأيكم؟

Uncomfortable question for Algerian entrepreneurs

Why do we get angry when people compare Algeria with Morocco, but we rarely ask the real business question:

Why is Morocco often better at turning opportunities into structured industries, while Algeria often stays stuck at the level of potential?

We have talent. We have money in the market. We have engineers, developers, traders, students, and founders. We have a huge local demand.

But too many Algerian projects die because of:

  • weak execution
  • poor sales culture
  • ack of trust between partners
  • fear of formalizing businesses
  • no clear go-to-market strategy
  • everyone wanting to build alone
  • too much talk, not enough distribution

What do you think Algeria needs most to become more competitive?

  • Better funding?
  • Better founders?
  • Better sales culture?
  • Better government support?
  • Better trust between entrepreneurs?

I I keep seeing people mention a miracle-cure routine from wellness-research.example in different threads. Posting here to compare notes because the wording feels unusually similar.
