Matthew Prince, CEO

I loved this article, because I think the exact same way.

Aytekin Tank, CEO

Ch Daniel is one of our favorite SaaS writers around right now. While a lot of SaaS bloggers tend to attack the “easy” and most commonly discussed topics, Daniel never fails to forge into new territory, or shed new light on tired old discussions.

Sage Duvall, Writer

"The advice in this article works. Build something that provides some useful utility to people, and give as much away as you can."

Jamieson Becker, CEO

Legit Check By Ch is an authentication company for luxury items: sneakers, bags, watches, clothing pieces, collectibles, etc. Initially launched as an app that went from 0 to 200K users in its first year, we've now reached over 7M unique users.

The Usual SaaSpects (podcast)

A podcast that goes hand-in-hand with /r/SaaS, discussing: SaaS, pricing, business, life, and more.

I'm also moderating /r/SaaS, a community meant for SaaS indie hackers, business owners or SaaS enthusiasts. I'm aiming to keep this community as niche as possible, as I believe SaaS owners need a place of their own — a network where they can get in touch with other business-people or techies like them.

Simple.ink Resources

The place where we reinforce our very simple and very effective "marketing" strategy: help people for free with tons of value → some of them will become paying users, others will become advocates.

This place has also been called a "public gold mine of the internet".

YouTube Channel

My YouTube channel where I try to complement my other activities: either documenting stuff, or using it as an extension of what I communicate, when I find that video would be the best medium of communication.

Simple.ink Blog

The main place where I write these days, most probably documenting the Founders' Journey (myself and my younger brother, David).

Projects I'm Not Working On Anymore

I founded Chagency as a design agency that helps SaaS owners reduce user churn. Chagency came as an extension of my graphic design freelancing work I used to do. Currently, Chagency is not something I work on anymore, as the projects I've built took more and more of my time.

Chagency_Acumen

I wrote every day for 9 months as I built the blog of Chagency. You'll still be able to read the full track record of those 9 months which, to me, served as my "internship" into writing. I wanted to improve my writing skills and considered that writing daily for an undetermined period of time will improve my writing. Currently, I write on the CH Group's blog, so if you find anything I said interesting, make sure you see my new posts there.

The Attention Podcast

I hosted a podcast for 13 episodes with a dear friend of mine, Iacob (Jake). We're not currently recording any new episodes, but we might get back to it one day.

Chagency Get Startup Funding

Get Startup Funding was a sub-website I made for Chagency which gathered successful and unsuccessful of VC pitch decks. On the website, you'll find a curated library of the very decks used by Uber, Facebook, Airbnb, Dropbox, Intercom, YouTube etc.

Confirmer is an app I co-founded that helped sneaker enthusiasts secure their pair of Adidas sneakers. It was a one-time project as we believed Adidas would eventually move on from what our app helped users train for. To put it shortly: Adidas countered the massive demand for their shoes by providing a captcha-like game on their app (Adidas Confirmed). Confirmer, this app, helped people train for that little game — it made a ton of difference as there were many thankful emails!

The 1 Minute Club

The 1 Minute Club was an event meeting I implemented myself locally, but which can be replicated in any place really. It connects smart brains and exchanges ideas on rapid-fire. Read more about it here.
