How to Build a SaaS - A Half-Day, Hands-On Workshop
Details
This is a longer, deeper follow-up workshop for anyone who wants to move beyond the high-level overview and start putting the pieces together in a more concrete way.
If you’ve already explored the basics of SaaS building and want more hands-on guidance across product, technical, and business fundamentals, this session is designed for you.
Over half a day, we’ll work through the end-to-end SaaS journey: from refining your idea to shaping an MVP, making architectural decisions, and thinking through monetisation, go-to-market, and launch readiness.
What we’ll cover (in more depth)
- Refining and validating your SaaS idea with real-world constraints
- Defining your MVP scope (what to build vs. what to delay)
- Core SaaS architecture, broken down step by step
- authentication & user management
- multi-tenancy & roles
- payments & subscriptions
- onboarding flows
- Choosing a tech stack that fits your goals and experience
- Structuring a SaaS project so it’s scalable and maintainable
- Early marketing & distribution strategies (finding your first users, positioning, and feedback loops)
- Pricing, monetisation, and early go-to-market considerations
- Common mistakes founders make — and how to avoid them
- Live walkthroughs, examples, and group discussion
- Extended Q&A and problem-solving based on attendee projects
Who this workshop is for
- Founders and solo builders actively working on a SaaS
- Developers who want a clearer product + business perspective
- Designers and PMs looking to understand the full SaaS lifecycle
What to expect
- A hands-on, interactive half-day session
- Fewer slides, more discussion, walkthroughs, and real examples
- Time to ask detailed questions and get feedback on your ideas
- A collaborative environment with people at similar stages
Takeaways
You’ll leave with a clearer SaaS roadmap, stronger confidence in your technical and product decisions, and a better understanding of everything around the product — not just features, but how it all fits together to ship and grow a real SaaS.
