I don't recommend using them if you want to build a proper product with longevity can you exit a saas built on a no-code tool? sure, I don't see why not
Interesting video! I dont know about the for free part tho, finding good developers will cost alot of money and a partnership without any previous succes will be close to impossible i think. Building a application from scratch to a finished product with a paid developer will cost me alot of money (min 10k). Pls let me know if im wrong!
@@ZAPHCS partnering up with a developer is free. You give away equity but don’t have to spend money upfront. Of course, just like with any business and life in general, people will only partner up with you if you have something to offer. It’s a two persons game, the dev will only partner up with you if you have a good idea, a vision, a path to follow, and likewise you’ll only partner up with a dev that has the same. But yes, if you have nothing to offer and are just a beginner most good devs won’t partner up with you. Solution? Partner up with a less experience dev that’s also starting its career. This way both of you are beginners and can start the journey from 0 Hope this helps
It makes so much sense to sell the product before building it. Loved the content. Im a new entrepreneur getting into saas. I was wondering what your process of shortlisting saas products to replicate look like .
I don't really have a step-by-step process to shortlist saas ideas, but if I had let's say 5 in my mind, I'd try and see how big the market was for each and choose the biggest one Glad the video helped. If there's anything else you'd like me to record a video on let me know 🫡
@@dr.saidsaid you justify it based on the work each person brings to the table (and capital invested if that’s the case). Ideally you’d do 50/50 so they’re as invested in the product as you In my previous SaaS I did 100/0 (I paid for the dev hours) then wanted to make sure I kept the talent (gave them 5% equity) and it worked All this to say that equity is very important when it comes to building anything with someone else. If they don’t have anything they own you have to pay them a lot for them to stay and never leave (because if they leave and you’re not a technical founder you’re doomed - sort of) Imo you should do 50/50 if you’re looking for a partner (not just a dev) - you’ll go much further with a dev-partner than just a dev “Just a dev” is a guy that solely codes and hasn’t got critical thinking and vision - you don’t want that imo
@@vendier I’ve never built a low code SaaS, I also don’t advise anyone to do that tbh. That said, there’s a bunch of tutorials on yt on how to build a SaaS with bubble and other low code tools

Love to hear it 💪
Really liked it, even from someone who knows how to code!
Força💪
I loved your video Vasco. Very detailed explaination of all the steps with reasoning behind them.
@@vinod.sharma 🙏
Awesome video Vasco!!! No fluff and straight to the point, I love it! 👏🔥🔥
Keep it up! I'm curious, are you from Portugal?
Born and raised in Portugal yes 🇵🇹
It's a very informative video. Please release more videos like this!
More to come!
btw this doesn't necessarily apply only to SaaS businesses, many things that he said can be applied to other types of online businesses
True true
Why should a Developer work together with you if they Can do it themself alone
@@Jjdjsjbjejen development is one part of the formula. You can develop the best product but if you don’t have any customers you won’t make any money
what do you think about no code platforms like bubble or framer? and can you still exit and sell a business built with such a platform?
I don't recommend using them if you want to build a proper product with longevity
can you exit a saas built on a no-code tool? sure, I don't see why not

@@VascoMonteirosChannel well said Vasco. This is an excellent advice.
Pretty high value stuff, Vasco! I'm curious why are you growing this channel along with the SaaS btw? What's the end play here, just personal brand?
Final play is selling a SaaS to SaaS founders
@@VascoMonteirosChannel perfect! appreciate the transparency & knowledge transfer :)

How much is equity did you give to your developer and how did you justify it?
@@dr.saidsaid you justify it based on the work each person brings to the table (and capital invested if that’s the case). Ideally you’d do 50/50 so they’re as invested in the product as you

“Just a dev” is a guy that solely codes and hasn’t got critical thinking and vision - you don’t want that imo
@@VascoMonteirosChannel that means you need to find someone really good.
Absolutely. If you want to build a great product you have to have a great team
Hello Instructor
Are you available for a brief discussion regarding your course on Udemy.
where did you sell your saas? what website is that?
I sold it to a private buyer
Make video on building saas with .bubble
@@vendier I’ve never built a low code SaaS, I also don’t advise anyone to do that tbh. That said, there’s a bunch of tutorials on yt on how to build a SaaS with bubble and other low code tools
The question is why will the the coder partner with you he does all the work?
Coding is just one part of the equation, the other is marketing/sales
how let people discover my landing page with a lifetime deal?
Title "No code for free"
First 1 minute: "With code for 1k or less"
That's like my 6 month's expense.
✅️
AH, there is the pitch, the SAAS website, clever, LOL!
of course there's a pitch, why do you think I make 30 minute videos breaking down all of this valuable stuff
I'm trying to sell you something, everyone is, everywhere, all the time and I won't ever hide it
@@VascoMonteirosChannel valuable to the world of ? Ah, all the people who sign up to this sort of thing, the people who buy anything on the shopping channels? It is like being an alcoholic, drug addict, gambler and snake oil salesman?
Why would a dev go in with you 50%? What did you bring to the table? Tons of marketing work?
Smart devs (and people in general) partner up with someone who can bring value to the table
When you partner up with anyone you should own a % relative to the work you bring to the table, whether that's 10%, 50% or 90% (or ofc a salary)
Dev without marketing is pointless, but so is the other way around
My first software company I owned 100% and just paid a dev
Reason why I partnered up in my second one wasn't because I didn't have the funds to go at it alone, it was because I wanted someone to be as invested as I was in the product
This is silly and to be honest, terrible. You are at the mercy of too many unknowns.
