Hey everyone, So I’m building a SaaS that helps other SaaS companies increase their revenue and I am close to finish my MVP. Alex always talk about getting rapid customers to test and give feedback on the MVP to iterate on. I already have 2/3 people ready but they are from my network, now I want to know, where to find 5-10 more rapid customers to test the product for free? They need to be doing at least $20k/mo and I’m kin of struggling finding groups or communities with such people. Any tips or recommendations?

Hey everyone, Julian from Germany here, wanted to take the chance and introduce myself. Currently working as a project management professional in IT, exited a small app company before and now building a new SaaS business next to my job. What are you guys building?

I was scared of the blank line where ROI should go, so I filled it with the wrong story. Not “bad channels.” Not “bad leads.” Just bad attribution. We don’t fear numbers; we fear what numbers might say about us. So we cling to narratives: “It’s the offer.” “It’s the platform.” “It’s seasonality.” I did that for years, redefining the problem every quarter, until a simple constraint test exposed where money was actually leaking: ads, funnel, or sales. The equation that fixed it LTGP:CAC ≥ 3:1 → if not, ask in order: Are we attracting qualified demand? (targeting/creative) Are we converting attention into hand-raises? (landing/opt‑in/CTA) Are we converting hand-raises into revenue? (sales process) Stop moving all three at once. Change one link, measure, then move. What changed in practice (last 8 months, 4 clients) Client A (agency): CAC looked “high.” Reality: sales gap. Qualified leads, weak show rate and close. We fixed follow‑up (speed-to-lead, SMS nudge), tightened proof/guarantee, and close rate rose from 12% → 27%, turning CAC from “bad” to profitable without touching ads. Client B (B2B services): “Ads don’t work.” Reality: targeting off by job-to-be-done. Swapped copy to call out the specific pain and added a results, first lead magnet; CPL down 41%, same budget, same sales team. Client C (SaaS): “Website problem.” Reality: time‑to‑value problem. Added micro‑wins in first 48 hours; trial→paid jumped 19% with zero change to traffic. Client D (local services): “Seasonality.” Reality: missing attribution and no client‑financed acquisition. Introduced a paid diagnostic that covered acquisition cost in 30 days; scale unlocked. How we diagnosed it (3 steps) One-number truth: Track LTGP (lifetime gross profit) vs CAC. If LTGP:CAC < 3:1, it’s an efficiency problem then isolate where. Single‑constraint testing: Change only one layer per week targeting/creative, then landing/offer, then sales process and log wins/losses. Client‑financed acquisition: Add a 30‑day cash event (paid audit, starter package, trial‑to‑core upsell) so acquisition funds itself and you can scale proven winners faster.
