Learn how to build SaaS products fast with strategies and tools that help you ship quickly and iterate smarter. Real advice for indie founders.
The game has changed for indie founders.
You don't need a large team or months of development to launch a SaaS product anymore. You can build fast, ship early, and learn quickly if you use the right approach and tools.
As a founder, your biggest advantage is speed. The faster you build, the faster you get feedback, and the faster you improve. Traditional long development cycles kill momentum and waste time on assumptions.
That's exactly what we focus on every week at Built This Week - real builders shipping real SaaS products fast using tested AI tools and workflows.
Here's how you can build SaaS products fast without compromising quality or wasting time.
You don’t need a perfect product out of the gate. Focus on the core value your SaaS product delivers and build just enough to validate it.
The MVP should be something you can launch in days or weeks, not months.
This approach saves you from building unnecessary features and gets you real user data early.
AI tools have revolutionized how developers build SaaS products.
From AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot to no-code platforms enhanced by AI, you can accelerate coding, testing, and iteration.
On Built This Week, Sam and Jordan repeatedly show how these AI tools cut weeks off their build cycles.
Continuous deployment platforms like Vercel or Netlify combined with automated testing let you push updates several times a day.
Automation eliminates the bottlenecks around QA and deployment.
This maintains your momentum and keeps your SaaS product evolving quickly.
Share your progress, challenges, and wins regularly.
Building in public not only holds you accountable but also builds an early audience and community.
It can provide valuable feedback loops and even early customers.
Built This Week epitomizes this philosophy by showcasing honest progress every single episode.
Fast building is useless without fast learning.
Deploy fast, but listen closely to user feedback and be willing to pivot or adjust quickly.
This cycle creates a lean SaaS product that truly fits the market.
Each week on Built This Week, Sam and Jordan break down the exact tools, techniques, and workflows they use to get products out the door quickly.
They cover everything from architecture choices to copywriting hacks that save hours.
Listeners get a front row seat to actual builds and honest assessments of what works in real startup environments.
Speed lets you test more ideas, find product-market fit sooner, and outmaneuver slower competitors.
Building SaaS products fast means you spend less time guessing and more time learning.
Built This Week is your go-to resource to learn how solo founders and indie hackers are shipping at lightning pace.
Ship weekly, learn weekly, and grow your SaaS product the smart way.
