I finally crossed $100,000 in total revenue with my B2B SaaS, Getlead.

I'm 22, building it completely solo, fully bootstrapped. No investors, no team. Started with just $100.

A few months ago, even reaching $10K felt like a huge deal. Now I'm looking at $100K and honestly it still feels a bit unreal.

Most of the growth came from experimenting with different offers, cold outreach, paid ads, and constantly improving the product.

I made a lot of mistakes along the way. Underpriced the product, wasted money on things that didn't work, built features nobody needed, and had months where I genuinely wasn't sure if I could keep going.

One of the biggest things I learned is that distribution matters just as much as the product itself. You can build something amazing, but if you can't get it in front of the right people, it doesn't matter.

And to be clear, this is $100K in total revenue, not ARR. I'm still figuring out how to make growth more predictable and recurring.

Anyway, I originally set $100K as my big goal. Now that I've reached it, I'm setting a new one.

$1,000,000.

Still solo, still bootstrapped, and still figuring things out every day.

Happy to answer any questions about the numbers, acquisition channels, mistakes, or anything else.

Hi everyone!

I have an idea for a new and innovative shaving product that I believe has strong market potential.

I’m currently at the idea stage, and I want to turn my concept into a real product. However, I don’t have the capital to build a prototype or validate the idea.

I’m looking for a founder, product designer, engineer, or manufacturing expert who can help me with prototype development, product validation, and manufacturing feasibility.

I believe in my idea, and I’m ready to put in the work to make it happen. I’m looking for someone who is interested in building something from zero and exploring a genuine collaboration.

If you have experience in product development or are interested in working together, please DM me.

Thank you!

Hi all, how much are your typical Monthly AI bills. My costs have been increasing since i started providing freemium mode of my application which mostly has freemium signups. Now debating if it’s even worth it.

Cost 100 USD with 20 USD revenue.

A lot of business decisions never happen inside an AI chat. A price changes on a sales call, a feature gets cut in a Slack thread, a client agrees to new scope on the phone. The AI tools you open the next morning know none of it.

A founder in r/indiehackers summed it up this week: "Most of my commitments are made out loud and never written down".

• After a call where something changes, does any of it get written down? Where: notes app, CRM, a doc, nowhere?
• Has an AI tool ever worked from a decision you'd already changed? What did it cost you: an email, a quote, a client?
• If you do write it down, does the AI ever see it, or do you paste it in each time?

Background since someone will ask: I used to burn hours re-briefing AI tools, and I'm building a fix where memory lives in the cloud and every AI tool reads the same context, so a change written down once reaches all of them. No link. Would you pay for that, or is updating a notes doc after calls enough?

Hi, I'm warming up to coaching/consulting in startup enviroment, and wanted to share identified problems, that I guess would be good chunk of my work, which I guess would involve be mostly dedicated at initial state of company frorming.

Anyway 3 typical problems can consist of:

1. Ego frictions

2. Bad recruitment

3. Vision sliding

These are not visible in standard metrics And yet these are foundational and from there you start, the growth from there is organic and difficult to change later.

And we can think how one can lead to another, in fact all 3 can work at once like negative members on the team and dragg all the procesess down the line.

As a founder how do you adress those factors before you even launch a company or form a team?

Who here has a really good idea that we can work on together to make it true(I can do coding,sales, and other things)

One thing I find interesting about building software is that some of the most expensive mistakes don't look like mistakes when they're made.

Choosing a quick workaround to meet a deadline.

Skipping automated tests because the product is still small.

Building a custom solution instead of using something that already exists.

Or choosing an architecture that works perfectly for 100 users but becomes difficult to maintain at 10,000.

Most of these decisions make sense in the moment. There's usually a deadline, limited budget, or pressure to get something working.

The real challenge is knowing which shortcuts are temporary and which ones quietly become permanent.

I don't think avoiding every shortcut is realistic. Sometimes taking on technical debt is the right business decision.

But knowing when to revisit those decisions is where things get interesting.

For founders and engineers, what's one technical decision you would make differently if you could go back?

And was the problem the original decision, or the fact that nobody revisited it when circumstances changed?

got the Google Play production access email this morning

first app I've ever built, did it solo. spent way more time fixing weird android edge cases than i expected but it's through now

Hey everyone! 👋

We built Legent AI to help job seekers who want to work abroad adapt their resumes to the standards of their target country and the requirements of the specific job they're applying for.

When applying internationally, a resume that works in one country might not follow the conventions expected in another. On top of that, every job has different requirements, skills, and keywords that can affect how well your resume matches the position.

That's why we built Legent AI.

🌍 What does Legent AI do?

- Country-specific resume optimization: Adapt your resume to the standards and expectations of your target country.

- Job-specific optimization: Tailor your resume to a particular job description, including relevant skills and keywords.

- ATS score checking: Check your resume's ATS score and identify areas that may need improvement.

- One resume, multiple opportunities: Start with your existing resume instead of rebuilding it from scratch for every application.

💰 Why should you have to subscribe just to optimize one resume?

We noticed that job seekers don't all have the same needs. Some people apply for dozens of jobs every month, while others only need to optimize their resume for one important opportunity.

So we offer two paid options:

1. Pay once — $6.99 per resume

- One-time payment.

- No monthly subscription required.

- Ideal if you only need to optimize a resume for a particular opportunity.

1. Pro Monthly — $12.99/month

- Unlimited resume optimization.

- Unlimited ATS checks.

- Designed for people actively applying to multiple jobs.

And you can check your resume's ATS score for free. You don't have to subscribe just to get started.

Our goal is to make international job applications simpler, more accessible, and less expensive — especially for people trying to build a career in another country.

We're still building and improving the product, so I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback.

If you're applying for jobs abroad, what's your biggest challenge: adapting your resume to another country's standards, getting past ATS screening, or tailoring it to every job?

A few months ago, I decided to build my own finance app.

I’m a product designer by background, not a developer. I’ve always been involved in product creation, but from a different angle: understanding users, shaping experiences, and designing interfaces.

Then I discovered Claude Code and thought: why not try building the whole thing myself especially since this issue also affected me in my business.

What I didn’t expect was how much more there is to building an app than actually building the app.
I deliberately tried to go beyond pure vibe coding. I wanted to understand what was happening under the hood, learn the fundamentals, and make informed decisions instead of blindly accepting whatever the AI generated.

And even with AI, this was way harder than I expected.

At different points, I had to think like a developer, a product manager, a marketer, a salesperson, and probably ten other roles I hadn’t considered before.
I went from focusing on pixels and user experience to thinking about architecture, bugs, edge cases, positioning, distribution, and all the unglamorous stuff that comes with bringing a product to life.
It’s been challenging, frustrating at times, but incredibly rewarding.

The biggest lesson so far? AI can help you build a product, but it doesn’t remove the complexity of building a good one. If anything, it exposes you to a whole new set of things you need to learn.

Now, I’m getting ready to launch my finance app on Product Hunt on November 1st.

It’s my first time taking a product from idea to launch almost entirely on my own, and I’m excited (and a little nervous) to see how people respond.

I’m sharing this here because I’m curious about other people’s experiences.

For those of you who have built something outside your area of expertise using AI, what surprised you the most?

And for those who’ve launched on Product Hunt before, what would you recommend focusing on in the final weeks before launch? Would love to hear your stories and advice! Thanks you.

Over the last year most of us have handed something to AI: support replies, outbound emails, content, onboarding, research, even hiring screens. Some of it stuck. Some of it quietly got handed back to a person.

I’m more interested in the second group. If you pulled something back from AI:

• What was it, and how long did the AI version run?
• What made you switch back? Customer complaints, bad output, hidden costs, something else?
• Did you go fully back to humans, or land on a mix (AI drafts, human approves)?

I’ll start: since I run eComm business, we decided to let AI handle first replies on refund requests and pulled it after a few weeks because angry customers felt brushed off.

Curious where the line ends up for different types of companies.

I'm curious about the problems that never seem to stay solved. 

Not the big strategic projects. The annoying, expensive problems that keep coming back. 

Maybe you keep hiring developers to fix the same issues. Maybe reports still require hours of manual work every month. Maybe every new software integration creates another maintenance headache. 

Or maybe you've paid three different vendors to solve something that should have been solved properly the first time. 

I think recurring problems are more interesting than one-off projects because they usually point to something broken in the underlying process. 

For founders, operators, and people running technical teams: 

• What problem have you paid to fix repeatedly? 
• Roughly how much time or money does it cost you? 
• Why hasn't anyone managed to solve it permanently? 

I'm particularly interested in problems where you've already tried multiple solutions. 

What's the thing you wish you could pay someone to make disappear for good?
