SaaS products aren’t viral
I recently gave a short talk to the portfolio companies of a SaaS investor, and prepped some notes around the topic of SaaS products and virality. It’s hard enough in consumer, much less SaaS For consumer internet entrepreneurs that are working on big markets, getting to virality is hard enough.

And we did. The argument makes sense (though it’s wrong). Code Collaborator is tool which helps software developers review each other’s work, just like an editor of a book.
