If your product breaks under 100 users, scaling is not your next step. Here’s the hard truth most early-stage founders miss: > You don’t need 1M users. You need 10 happy ones — and a backend that doesn’t scream in pain. Here’s what we tell every SaaS founder we work with: 1. Automate before you delegate. Don’t hire for tasks that can be handled by a script. 2. Ship with logging. If something breaks and you don’t know why, you’re flying blind. 3. Fix the unsexy stuff early. Auth, payments, cron jobs — boring, but they’re your spine. 4. Don’t chase growth. Chase readiness for growth. Good code is an unfair advantage. And systems that scale quietly are louder than any marketing campaign. Follow @souravvmishra for more actionable insights.

Your MVP isn’t minimum viable. It’s barely breathing. Here’s how to know: You manually check if cron jobs ran. You panic every time Stripe sends a webhook. You copy-paste user data from Airtable to Notion. Your “error handling” is: refresh and p

We all know the loud unicorns; the ones making headlines with every funding round. But what about the Silent Unicorns? The billion-dollar startups you’ve never heard of. • They don’t do PR. • They don’t chase hype. • They don’t care about being on

Most early-stage founders don’t need a VC. They need this. You actually need 100 users who’d scream if your product disappeared. So for all idea-stage founders: 👉 Validate the pain first. 👉 Then validate your insight. 👉 Then test your way to 10

I once had a mentor tell me, “Success is just a series of tiny, unsexy actions, repeated over time.” He wasn't wrong. Too often, we chase the big, flashy wins. We scroll through LinkedIn, searching for instant fame, partnerships, and milestones.
