4x founder, 3 exits — currently building Podia, an OG in the creator economy since 2014, AMA!

This is something I’m keen on learning from anyone building an all-in-one sort of SaaS, where each feature is essentially a product category on its own. I think Podia is going in a similar direction. What have been some of the product-related challenges and unexpected benefits of that approach?

Lots, but you have to be okay with that! :rofl:

If you’re going to build an all-in-one tool, you need to keep in mind that it’ll take 10 years to get to where you want it to be. You need time, resources, a big team, and a great strategy to be successful.

The biggest product-related challenges is just figuring out what part of your product to focus on and when. With an all-in-one, you can’t focus on everything at all times, so you need to hop around and always work on what’s most important at any given time.

For example, at the start of COVID-19, we focused a lot on our webinar feature as we knew that creators would need that during the pandemic.
