Statista claims that the worldwide Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) market reached the level of $157 billion in 2020.

This illustrates the popularity of SaaS products among entrepreneurs who want to create new software that provides value to end-users.

But when it comes to SaaS software development, many startup founders (maybe you too) bump into a wide range of challenges that should be solved correctly to gain success.

I'm going to build a SaaS startup but don't know where to start from scratch. Searched through the top articles, found several great content like [how to build a saas product](https://ascendixtech.com/steps-to-building-a-saas-product/) (no promo, just an example) and others by Yalantis, etc.

What steps would you recommend me to take (in detail if possible) so that I can be prepared for the future saas product development and launch.

Thanks in advance!

YC's Startup School was helpful for us, especially in finding our MVP. Many founders here have said, and I agree, that the best products come from solving real problems that you know about and then using your own solution, aka dogfooding. What can you build that solves a real problem that you and others have?
