Building a B2B SaaS product can be a lonely endeavor. Growth Pods is a pod-based community of SaaS founders joining together to share knowledge, ideas, and subscribe to each other's product, infusing instant and long term growth.
I became a product founder last year with a B2B SaaS product helping other product owners drive more reviews and feedback on their products (TrustLoop). After launching, fixing bugs, and making product improvements we did a 3-month marketing blitz. TrustLoop was still not growing how I had imagined. We were still spending more on development each month than our revenue. It had stagnated and I felt stuck.
So I decided to build something else to help TrustLoop grow.
I've realized the secret to why Y Combinator startups have such a high success rates compared to other startups is simple. Community. They all support each other, subscribe to each other's products, share tips and tricks on different growth levers, connect to the same advisors and investors, and learn from each other's successes and mistakes.
I built Growth Pods to democratize access to these types of perks without having to be in the .1% of startups to get accepted to YC, and without having to give up any equity.
We launched in small batches and there was immediate positive feedback. It seems other B2B SaaS founders wanted to be apart of a community as well. Also, TrustLoop was part of the first several pods which really helped TrustLoop's growth!
Now, we are opening Growth Pods up to the public at just $7/month.
Please let me know if you have any questions - cheers!

Hey Zack! Wow, this is such a great initiative! Community really is key, especially in the SaaS world – love how you’re making it accessible to everyone. Seeing how TrustLoop benefited from the first pods is super encouraging.I can’t wait to see how this grows. Any tips for newcomers on getting the most out of the pods? Keep rocking it!
