How to Choose What SaaS to Build

A demand-first approach to picking your next SaaS idea.

Choose a narrow customer

The strongest SaaS ideas usually start with a specific customer and a repeated workflow. Narrow ideas are easier to explain, validate, and sell.

Check for an urgent workflow

Look for tasks people already do manually, repeatedly, or with a messy stack of tools. A SaaS idea has more potential when the workflow already exists.

Compare willingness to act

When two ideas both sound good, choose the one where people vote, join the waitlist, ask for access, or explain their current spending.
