Building saasyDB.com - SaaS company database for marketers.

I like coffee shops and talkin' biz. I've got a lovely wife, two young daughters, and an old ass cat who got the diabetes now, but she is still cute.

A few months ago, saasyDB had research on 11,000 SaaS companies in it.

As of this morning, it has research on 73,078 SaaS companies.

My goal is to have 100,000 SaaS companies in it before the year ends. I think I can do it.

As an entrepreneur, I've grown to sort of hate Black Friday / Cyber Monday.

It's a week where I feel pressure to promote and make sales, but my kids are off from school, and everyone else is mostly off from work. So it's harder to work.

hot startup take, if you don't have ideas constantly, then being a founder isn't right for you.

People who say "I just need an idea to get started", need to go work for someone with ideas.

The ideas and opportunities should be obvious from your day to day work and conversations.

Are you planning on doing a Black Friday / Cyber Monday deal for your Startup? Where will you promote it?
November 18, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Every day this week, I'm trying to take a break during work to go on a walk, with a weighted back pack, no headphones or anything, just a boring break

Also doing "OMAD" 3x a week, so just a couple protein shakes in the afternoon, then dinner

What do you do to keep from getting fat and insane??

My "most interesting" startup was one that brokered feedback on dating profiles, like you could get 5 women to tell you which pictures were best/worst, how to improve the copy on your profile, etc.

It was the worst business model, super hard to build, and very hard to market. RIP.

I spent three hours figuring out how to do a more advanced filter in saasyDB, I'm excited to deploy it tomorrow.

Right after I figured it out, I got a call that my three year old threw up at school and I had to leave work for a bit.

I've got a goal every week of adding 5000+ SaaS companies to the saasyDB database. Today I pushed 5,263 US SaaS companies live. If you're researching SaaS companies, check out saasyDB.
November 17, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Today's goals for saasyDB are to
1) publish information on 5,000 SaaS companies in the US
2) finish and deploy comma separated search terms in the job title filter (trickier than you might imagine!)
3) launch a new cold email campaign

What about you? What are your goals for the day?

Goodness, gracious. This piece is among the best I’ve read in awhile. Great work @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com.
“They have betrayed the society that enriched them, and have put us at serious risk of authoritarianism, ethnic cleansing, lawlessness, and stagnation. They have betrayed the values that made that society great, values which they apparently only ever held superficially”

Working on a batch of SaaS companies now, the first big chunk of research to go into the system when the "company data only" offer is live, about 20k companies

GetLatka has about 40k SaaS companies, and my goal is to have more than them by the end of this quarter 😎

I'm hiring a VA to speed up the most boring, monotonous aspects of my research on SaaS companies

Goal is to launch an offer for just SaaS company data within saasyDB, for people who just want good clean lists of SaaS companies, and they can get the leads elsewhere

Exciting times

"No one does SaaS better than saasyDB" says one of my users

I'm trying to build the best SaaS database possible

What is wild is that it's totally possible for me to do so.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

The latest from S. Baum.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

Cold Slack DMs feel promising as a marketing channel. I’m going to lean into them, then make a guide about how to automate them. Drop a comment if you want the guide when I record it.

Build in Public update: adding a “Legacy” filter to my SaaS company database so users can sort companies that are more than twenty years old.

It requires an update to the data, but that allows me to update funding info on all the companies and fill in some missing data bits 😎

Starting a little cold email experiment:

One campaign to ~2000 leads, and it's a mix of templates that I've written.

Another campaign to ~2000 leads, and it's a mix of templates written by a psychology based cold email writer GPT.

Which do you think will perform best?

We'll find out in a week
