We’re a small team of 4 building a B2B SaaS product.

Right now, one developer is focused on ML/data work. My dev partner (my brother btw) is asking me what he should work on next, and honestly, I don’t have a clear answer.

That feels weird, because usually “not enough dev capacity” is the problem. But we’ve reached a stage where the bigger question is not execution, it’s product direction.

We have users & design partners, we have signals, we have feedback, but we’re still figuring out what the product should become:

• Is this a feed users check daily?
• Is it a workflow?
• Is it a notification layer?
• What actually makes users come back?
• What is the core recurring value?

So now I’m stuck in this awkward moment where giving my dev partner random tasks feels wrong, but not giving him anything also feels like wasted momentum.

Curious how other founders handled this stage. What would you focus on when direction is not clear?

Would love practical advice from people who have been through this.

Been 13 years in performance marketing and different lead gen niches, nowadays i have my GTM startup that enabling distribution at low costs.

Made the classic mistake tho by focusing on several acquisition channels at once when started marketing.

Only once i laser focused on one channel i made progress- Conversee which is the tool ive made helps you focus on intent demand and get REAL traction at fair costs.

What were your mistakes when started your biz distribution and marketing?
