Questions for peer founders:

As a developer and solo founder, I just can not finish a serious project in one year. For example, it took me two years to get version 1 of torapp guilloche designer (www.torapp.info). We did not get consistent/significant customers and need a new product to survive.

To evaluate more ideas and to be familiar with respective areas took me another year easily (without deep knowledge in the area, how can you beat your competitors?).

So how can you guys roll out a product in 3 months? How can you quickly pivot? (pick up ideas and evaluate them quickly)



It certainly will depend on the actual product A LOT.

A vector editor is very complex compared to the typical CRUD-based with a little business logic that lots of SaaS products are in the end.


"typical CRUD-based with a little business logic that lots of SaaS products are in the end"

Isn't the market for that sort of thing getting crowded by now ?


Not quite. I think that most startups where technology is not their raison d'etre still fit that bill.
