Hello forum,

I'm 28 years old, and I work in Silicon Valley as a software engineer. I've been doing quite well in my career, including financially, and I could probably stick to it for another 10-15 years and retire comfortably.
However, I have several reasons to start a SaaS business:
1) Hedging bets. Software engineering is a lucrative career right now, but things may change (for example if there's another dotcom bust).
2) Learning a new skillset. Entrepreneurship will force me to step outside of my comfort zone and learn about marketing, sales, etc.
3) Fun. I've always found building stuff from scratch immensely satisfying. It's much more fulfilling than adding features to an already successful product.

I have built and deployed my first service, and it has a grand total of 20 users, out of whom maybe 2-3 even use the product :) So, obviously, I have a lot to learn about the non-technical aspects of the game.

On this forum, I'm looking for knowledge and accountability. And I hope to be able to give back and contribute from my experience.

Cheers!
