Traction for recently launched B2B SaaS - interview time

[rebeccasarah]

Going for YC interview in a few days. We launched our B2B SaaS product in beta about 45 days ago. Have 1 paid customer and 8 others in trial.

We are still analyzing beta customer performance/iterating and not hitting on the gas for growth just yet.

The question is whether these numbers will work against us in terms of not having enough traction?

@rebeccasarah Based on my understanding of the content YC puts out your traction won’t work against you. You are launched, have a user and have many more in the funnel/trial. Your response for not hitting the gas on growth is reasonable as well, since you are ensuring you fine tune your product with your initial beta user. All the best in your interview! Good luck!

@rebeccasarah Based on what I have learnt so far (we have our interview this week too), what you have is good to great. You launched and figuring out what you need to build next, B2B SaaS sales cycles are long especially for higher ACV stuff also B2B traction Vs B2C traction is different.
