My first Build in public saas failed six months ago. Complete disaster.I had spent a year building what I thought was the perfect SaaS. Launched it got maybe 50 users, revenue never hit $500/month. Had to shut it down and face the reality that I had no clue what I was doing. The failure wasn't even the worst part. It was realizing I had built in complete isolation. No one to bounce ideas off, no feedback during development, just me in my German apartment convinced I was building the next big thing. After that crash for a while I started drinking alcohol somehow stopped it, I was scared to start again. But I couldn't shake the itch to build something and to proof myself I am worth it, I can do big things in life. So I started my second project, but this time I was paranoid about making the same mistakes. Working 12+ hour days again, but now doubting every single decision even more. Does this feature make sense? Am I being delusional again? :( Three months into building, I was spiraling hard. That's when the founder (of valid pulse from Germany) I follow mentioned something that helped him when he was stuck. I was desperate so I checked it out. Man, it really pulled me out of that dark place. Suddenly I could see how other founders handled the exact problems I was facing. People being brutally honest about their failures and what actually worked. It was a private slack community of about 2000 founders all actively building stuff.The community isn't free (which actually keeps it high-quality, but honestly, having people who get it has been worth every penny. As when I do debugging at 2am, someone else is usually online doing the same thing. Everyone is sharing something: My landing page converts at 0.2%. Someone roast this please, Just hit $10K MRR. Here's the one thing that helped and so much more... It's like having people who actually get what you're going through. I am still building my second project and it hit $1670 MRR last month which feels huge after my first failure. Still failing at stuff daily, but I am not spiraling in isolation anymore. Proof : https://postimg.cc/cvgx6qfs If you're in that same headspace working alone,doubting everything, scared you are making the same mistakes again maybe this helps. It's the [Private Community](https://www.starterstory.com/subscribe?via=founders) I joined. Honestly didn't think I had ever want to build again after that first failure. Grateful I found people who reminded me I wasn't crazy for trying.feeling a little emotional now after sharing the journey. Will share my whole startup story once I cross $10k MRR threshold and if there's any founder reading this to all of them I have one message please support your fellow founders during their tough times please.Thankyou!
