Early Stage Founder Rule #1: Build trust before revenue. Show your face. Share your journey. Let people cheer for you before they buy from you. 👀💙

Our donation widget is integrated on the website of our newest NGO client. From registration to go-live in less than 24 hours—the second time this week! 😎

Took a day off yesterday for Christmas stuff. Raisenext didn’t. Another nonprofit registered after lunch! 🥂 We connected directly through live chat. The customer found a few bugs and a missing feature. My co-founder jumped on an immediate night shift—like last Friday—to get it all live. Customer is happy. Product is stronger. That’s how we try do it with every single customer.

My approach to great onboarding: The best improvements don’t come from UX theory. They come from watching users fail, then talking to them, then fixing exactly what they didn’t understand. I’m doing this on purpose… I hope I’m right. Now back to coding and improving one onboarding issue I just discovered—this time, something I experienced myself when using a new tool for the first time 😜

It's one of those days that makes all the hard work worthwhile. A large NPO started using our donation form over the weekend. Today's call showed: ✓ Quick wins to ship fast for easier onboarding ✓ They loved our donation widget and touchpoint tracking. ✓ Strong demand for donor self-service (reduces support load). I am building for these moments: - Seeing people use what we build - Understanding what resonates - Selling the future (features / pain killers) ❤️

B2B SaaS founders (teams of 1–3): What’s your biggest headache right now? 1⃣ Support inbox chaos 2⃣ Bug reports scattered everywhere 3⃣ Messy feedback-to-feature-request flow 4⃣ Keeping users updated (roadmap/release notes) 5⃣ Something else? I’m building releasebird around this and want to sanity-check with a few founders.

On the way from €1.5k → €10k MRR 🚀 Here’s the software I use every day (wrapped up without thinking what I missed) as a bootstrapped SaaS founder: Claude Code · IntelliJ · ChatGPT · Gemini folk CRM · Canva · X · LinkedIn Releasebird · SaasToast · Sintra Slack · Spotify · AWS · MongoDB No magic. Just hustling.

Also worked today on finishing our DATEV export for our NPO fundraising CRM. It's still a bit buggy from what Claude did 🪲. Need to iterate further.

Just put 100 EUR toward lead research, including finding additional information from websites, with someone on Fiverr. It seems faster and more efficient than trying it myself, even with AI tools. Let's see if it's wasted or not. 😅
Spent the whole day not coding. Instead: • Researching German nonprofits • Testing @clay vs. @LinkedIn Sales Navigator • Cleaning and structuring data in @FolkHQ CRM • Designing a as-legal-as-possible cold email process 😅 Goal: Find a scalable way to go from 5 to 50–100 nonprofit orgs. Current hypothesis: 🎯 Focus on nonprofits with 11–50 employees → Big enough to have budget → Small enough for reasonable sales cycles Less “growth hacks,” more boring, repeatable systems.

Running multiple SaaS projects naturally brings focus challenges, but the playground for trying, failing, and iterating is much bigger. That’s one reason why I decided to run 3 projects at once.

Yes, entrepreneurship is a game you have to play fast and often. Focusing on one project only works if you know exactly what you’re doing. And that’s impossible unless you’ve been playing for years. (7 years in, and I still barely know what I’m doing)

For me, vesting felt like locking a lion in a cage. 🦁 Years later, you realize: 🚪 the door isn’t locked anymore. But life has changed. Responsibilities have grown. And finding the strength to push it open feels hard. It was worth it for me—but choose wisely when you sell your company. 🔥 Let’s reignite the fire. Building in public seems to help.

2nd part of the day: unplanned 😅 A nonprofit that raises seven figures in donations yearly called. “Can you show us a live demo?” “Oh—and we need a new online donation solution by Monday.” On fire. Let’s go. 🔥🚀

Working on positioning for my saas. Where would AI help you most right now? 1) Manage feature requests 2) Answer live chat 3) Write release notes 4) Write knowledge base articles

Redesigned the hero section of SaasToast today. Now I’m stuck choosing the headline 😅 1️⃣ Stop guessing. Get instant alerts when your users do anything important. 2️⃣ Real-time visibility for founders who don’t have time for dashboards. 3️⃣ Your SaaS heartbeat — delivered instantly to your phone. 4️⃣ Know what your users are doing — faster than ever. Any help appreciated.
This is how I woke up. Not much happened overnight. And people just don’t sign up fast enough. I will change the marketing messaging from “Founder Motivation” to something else. I think people don’t fear lacking motivation as long as they have it.
