Building is solved. You can spin up a Next.js app with Cursor and Claude in a single weekend. But turning a vibe-coded app into actual monthly recurring revenue (MRR) is brutally hard. This show is for indie hackers, solopreneurs, and semi-technical founders who want to escape the vibe revenue trap. We skip the launch day dopamine hits and the generic startup advice. Instead, we break down the exact practitioner receipts you need: automated validation workflows, token-aware pricing models, and the exact tech stacks (like Supabase and MCP) that stop your AI from hallucinating in production. No hype. Just the hard math and specific configurations required to build a sustainable SaaS in the era of vibe coding.

  • SaaS Exit Strategy: Acquisition, Lifestyle, or Long Game
    Apr 28 2026

    SaaS exit strategy is something most solo founders think about too late. What buyers pay for in 2026 is certainty of future value — not current features. This episode maps the three endgames for bootstrapped founders: lifestyle business, strategic acquisition, and acqui-hire. With 2025 Acquire.com multiple data by ARR range, lifestyle business net income math at real MRR levels, the five durable moats that survive AI-accelerated competition, and the technical due diligence checklist to start building against now — not 30 days before a sale.

  • SaaS Legal Basics: GDPR, EU AI Act, and Compliance Awareness
    Apr 21 2026

    SaaS legal basics are what most developers ignore until something goes wrong. Not legal advice - just two founders talking through the compliance landscape they wish someone had explained before they started charging customers. This episode covers GDPR, the EU AI Act effective August 2026, PCI scope for Stripe-integrated products, business entity tradeoffs, and the four documents most founders encounter before their first paying user. For anything that affects your business, talk to a real lawyer.

  • Solo Founder Burnout: Systems, Automation, and Deep Work
    Apr 14 2026

    Solo founder burnout in 2026 hits differently — AI tools removed the technical bottleneck and replaced it with a nervous system bottleneck. You can ship 5x faster, which means 5x more maintenance surface and 5x more decisions. This episode covers the operational automation stack that removes recurring decisions, the async-first operating model that protects deep work, and the 72-hour resilience test every solo SaaS should pass. With real burnout data, decision fatigue research, and automation platform comparisons.
