My co-founder and I are part-time on a new B2B SaaS side business. We’d like to remain honest and let our buyers know we are part-time but will that hurt our sales/adoption? How do people recommend we deal with this? FYI, full time is not an option as we need our primary jobs for income until side-project can support itself?
I'm in the same boat, bootstrapping my SaaS and about to launch. Another issue I'm facing, perhaps you too, is that LinkedIn is for me a great resource for making initial sales contacts. Problem: I've had a LinkedIn account for years, and it references all the employers I've had that last 10 years. I'd like to create a second LinkedIn profile for myself and my SaaS, but LinkedIn's usage policy apparently doesn't allow this. Unless asked, I don't want potential customers to know that I have a full-time gig and thus can't devote 100% of my working hours to the SaaS. Any suggestions?
It seems to me that a support contract for even one customer might be enough for you to be able to be full time. It also seems to me that you aren't likely to get such a support contract if you tell them that you're part time - nobody pays big money for part-time support.
