Second it. If right now you're bootstraped, no revenue from SaaS yet, you and your cofounder are on your own and consulting, if related to your product, can give you 2) and 3) but more importantly 1), at a far bigger payout than you'll get from an early MRR. This advice is opposed to common YC advise "don't lose focus, consulting IS losing focus" and I agree, but right now you're not funded, not accelerated, not incubated or anything and you're trying to finish your product. Stay afloat and don't burn your savings to the ground. One more advice: finish your MVP soon, and at some point, early than you imagine, tell your first customers that's the version you're putting in production right now and it'll be like that for a while, because waiting for that customer(s) that "will definitely buy once we do X and Y" will KILL your roadmap and KILL your startup. You'll be doing features after features, won't focus on your core features and propositons, and won't discover what is your killer feature that you must polish. That's what will keep your first customers with you. |
