I used to work on multi-hundred million dollar mergers. But I can tell you making that first dollar from a product I built from scratch is so much more exciting and satisfying. 💰 #buildinginpublic #firstrevenue #NoCode #saas #startup #womenintech #milestone

I’ve met 2 types of founders: 1️⃣ want to try new tools if it means they can save dev time and ship faster 2️⃣ hesistant to try new tools cos it may not work when they get to 1M users. Very interesting for me both as a founder and seller of B2B #SaaS . #buildinpublic #nocode
