How I Build and Launch a SaaS in 30 Days
Building a SaaS in 30 days sounds ambitious, but it's become my default operating mode. After shipping seven products, I've developed a repeatable system that gets me from idea to paying customers fast.
The first week is all about validation. I don't write a single line of code until I've talked to at least five potential users. I use Twitter, Reddit, and cold outreach to find people who have the problem I want to solve. If I can't find them, I move on.
Week two is the build sprint. My stack is consistent: Next.js for the frontend, Supabase for the backend, and Vercel for deployment. I've built enough with this stack that I can move incredibly fast. I use Lovable for rapid prototyping when I need to test UI ideas quickly.
Week three is about getting the core loop right. Every SaaS has one — the action users take repeatedly that delivers value. For AgriIntel, it's checking daily analytics. For Brainfy, it's running AI workflows. I obsess over making this loop as smooth as possible.
The final week is launch prep: landing page, onboarding flow, and initial outreach. I launch on Product Hunt, share on Twitter, and personally email everyone who showed interest during validation. The goal isn't perfection — it's getting real users and real feedback.
The biggest lesson? Speed compounds. Each product I ship makes the next one faster to build and easier to validate.
