    @vinter Well it’s not a SaaS platform, it’s a locally hosted licensed yearly product due to the sensitivity of the platform. Might go SaaS down the road when more products get added to it. But I concur with the marketing and was wondering to go the route of founder led marketing which is...

    @herprayer I agree with you on so many points there, yes my next step is building and selling to get customer base. I’m going to take what you said and start implementing it. We have a working product already, just no customers yet and that’s where the connections come in which I was hoping YC...

    @villek Well we have MVP done and demo product is what we are using to show and tell. We are close to launching our beta stage to the public. It’s not like we are just using an idea to raise funding which most incubators and investors are funding

    @scarletbeast Any advice I can look into for fund raising ? I can’t open source my product so can’t get traction there nor is my product fully built to be deployed in enterprise.

    @notly1988 Hi Zach your point is accurate: our product is turn key with low touch, it’s actually is designed for medium to large business and govt agencies. I can’t just sell it to avg user as they won’t have any use of it so no validation there. However I have pitched this idea to few CISOs...

    @rainn I had an alternate motive for these many applications. I didn’t know anything about startups business, financial projections, product, market fit, etc. this forced me to research a lot. I read a lot, watch a lot of videos and many TED talks during the process. I feel like this one month...

The situation started when I applied YC application for S24, application asked me a lot of critical questions which I had to research, I filled up the...

    When it makes sense to build an open-source SaaS non-dev-tool

    @slippinginfaith I always found that if a product can be offered for free I’m never gonna pay for the paid version and change the code myself to suit my needs. Open sourcing your product is the best way to cannibalize your company. Instead have a strong monetization strategy and start getting...
