š B2B SaaS tools we use in Seed stage
Scaling from zero to after Seed
Based on a few conversations in founder groups, I have realised that a lot of people struggle to choose the right tool stack to launch the company. Iāve been there. From our early days to now, weāve used some great tools that helped us grow. Currently We are 30 people strong, but this tool stack is still working for us.
šGeneral rules of thumb
Use what you know: Use tools you know and you are comfortable with, especially in engineering
Time to market matters!
What worked for us, might not be suitable for you.
Most of the tools below are free or give generous credits and can be used first 1-2 years for free!
