Summary
In this episode, Sean shares his experience of building a B2B SaaS product and how he ‘skipped the spinning rims’ or steps that may be deemed unnecessary or out of order. He suggests skipping the legal route to get trademark protection for naming components of the product as it took forever and cost a fortune. Instead, pick a name and run with it and if someone else comes after you for it, change the name. Sean recommends using generators for legal policies such as terms of service and data policy, instead of spending thousands of dollars on a legal team, as it saves time and money. He advises considering skipping non-essential steps that distract from the real mission of making the B2B SaaS product successful.
