Why we bet on SaaS — and what we learned building our own

A launched SaaS is a promise to keep showing up. That mindset — of ownership past the invoice — is exactly what we now bring to the software we build for others.

  • Make onboarding the feature you polish most
  • Talk to the customer who almost left
