Stuart, a startup guy, a sandwich lover

Goodness, gracious. This piece is among the best I’ve read in awhile. Great work @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com.

this is from 2015? I googled and tried to find an article, and it was back then.

That’s radical man keep going

Working on a batch of SaaS companies now, the first big chunk of research to go into the system when the "company data only" offer is live, about 20k companies

GetLatka has about 40k SaaS companies, and my goal is to have more than them by the end of this quarter 😎

I'm hiring a VA to speed up the most boring, monotonous aspects of my research on SaaS companies

Goal is to launch an offer for just SaaS company data within saasyDB, for people who just want good clean lists of SaaS companies, and they can get the leads elsewhere

Exciting times

"No one does SaaS better than saasyDB" says one of my users

I'm trying to build the best SaaS database possible

What is wild is that it's totally possible for me to do so.

I’m a tool huh?

What's your favorite cold email related tool? I'm trying to make an exhaustive list of the best tools for my cold email course

I asked chatgpt to generate a “crazy 8bit graphic” for coldemail.vip and I got this haha

was "Name your 3 favorite jazz albums?"

I thought that was so odd at the time. But my friend rattled off his top 3 jazz albums and what he liked about them.

Culture fit.

He worked there for years.

nearly 25 years ago now, I worked part time at a bike shop, doing a little work on 3speeds, but mostly odd jobs around the shop.

A friend of mine was a professional bike mechanic, and I brought him to meet the owner, to apply for a full time position.

The owner's first question to my friend...

Better tools are always worth it.

Yeah I might buy redreach

Coldemail.vip Become a cold email VIP

This week I’m going to write all the content for my cold email course

I’ve already got the outline. But just to make sure I cover everything, what questions do you have about getting start / finding customers with cold email?

Buy the course cheaper now if you want it at coldemail.vip

“Parasite” seems like an awfully negative term for this style of SEO?

Isn’t reposting my content to medium and then linking to the original a kind of parasite SEO? Or reposting to Reddit?

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

Thanks. Are you building anything?

Cold Slack DMs feel promising as a marketing channel. I’m going to lean into them, then make a guide about how to automate them. Drop a comment if you want the guide when I record it.

Thanks man

Build in Public update: adding a “Legacy” filter to my SaaS company database so users can sort companies that are more than twenty years old.

It requires an update to the data, but that allows me to update funding info on all the companies and fill in some missing data bits 😎

I got @thatwriterjon.bsky.social to do a positioning audit on my startup, saasyDB, and it was amazing.

Just scheduled to be recorded for the SaaSy as Fuck podcast next week, my favorite podcast about the SaaS Industry.

No idea when my episode will air but check out what they've done recently at saasyasfuck.substack.com/s/podcast

I feel like the name is misleading then. But I like the concept!

Does it only work with lemon squeezy though??

Starting a little cold email experiment:

One campaign to ~2000 leads, and it's a mix of templates that I've written.

Another campaign to ~2000 leads, and it's a mix of templates written by a psychology based cold email writer GPT.

Which do you think will perform best?

We'll find out in a week

Does it only work with lemonsqueezy?

I won't necessarily be teaching how to do everything, but I'll make some video guides about the growth tactics and marketing plans

I'm doing this as I've switched from lifetime deals to monthly/annual plans for saasyDB and I need to get it to ramen profitable ASAP, so it's a legit challenge for me!

Want to join in on my 0 to $5k MRR 90 day challenge?

I'll post about what I'm doing here, but if you want to join a Slack community of me and other founders trying to get to $5k MRR in 90 days, just comment below, and I'll DM you the invite link (make sure you follow me)

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.
