A Bold Vision for 2025: Let’s Build Something Meaningful Together


Hello Reader,

Over the years, this community has explored career growth, productivity, goal setting, growing networks, and building an online presence. Together, we’ve tackled the challenges of thriving as programmers and tech professionals.

Today, I’m thrilled to share my vision for 2025—a vision that aligns with both my personal journey and our shared aspirations.

As someone who has spent years juggling a 9-to-5 job, family life, and the dream of building something meaningful, I know exactly how it feels to want more. More freedom, more fulfillment, and more control over your future.

I’ve been there—balancing long workdays while freelancing, running a web agency, experimenting with affiliate websites, and investing in stocks and real estate. Along the way, I’ve learned that building something on the side isn’t just about extra income; it’s about unlocking your potential, creating opportunities, and working toward financial freedom.

Now, I’m ready to embark on my next big chapter: building a SaaS startup—and I want to guide you in doing the same.

What is SaaS?
SaaS, or "Software as a Service," refers to online applications like Todoist, Linktree, Kick Resume, Testimonial, and Canva. These tools solve specific user problems and are the foundation of many profitable businesses.

If building a SaaS startup feels like a big leap, that’s okay. You can still follow along and work on a side project or portfolio instead. Who knows where this journey might take you?

My mission is simple:

To simplify the SaaS journey, help part-time founders overcome the overwhelm, and guide you step-by-step from idea to launch—all without quitting your day job.

Why this matters:

For many part-time founders, the hardest part isn’t building a product—it’s figuring out what to build.

This single challenge has kept countless programmers on the sidelines for years. The pressure to come up with a “perfect” idea, combined with the fear of choosing the wrong one, can be paralyzing.

And once you have an idea, the journey doesn’t get easier. Most part-time founders share the same struggles:

  • Feeling overwhelmed by where to start.
  • Balancing limited time and resources.
  • Navigating the complexities of idea validation, MVP creation, and customer acquisition.

But here’s the thing—you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll break down these challenges step by step and make real progress toward your dream of building a profitable SaaS business.

What to expect:

🎥 Guided learning: A revamped YouTube series walking you through every step.
🛠️ Actionable resources: Templates, frameworks, and tools tailored for busy tech professionals.
🤝 Community support: A vibrant network of like-minded part-time founders to connect, learn, and grow with.

Let’s build together:

I’d love to hear from you—what’s the biggest challenge you’re facing right now? Hit “Reply” and let me know. Your feedback will shape the content and tools I create next.

Excited for 2025,
Vinod

P.S. We will discuss why programmers make the best SaaS founders next week. Building a SaaS while managing a 9-to-5 is challenging but absolutely possible. Let’s make it happen together.

Hello Reader, Our beta launch for Sucana failed. And the feedback was brutal. Beta users said, the application is, Slow Clunky Cumbersome Now imagine this: weeks of late nights, coding until 4 AM, finally hitting “launch”… and the first thing you hear from users is exactly that. It stings. Then my cofounders Victor & Virgil called me and said, “Let’s flip it all around.” And I’m sitting here thinking, I pulled late nights. Wrote endless code. You can’t just flip it upside down. You see,...

Hello Reader, Quarter 4 is here. For most of my career, I set yearly goals… and then forgot them by February. Everything felt too big, too far away, and too overwhelming. That changed in 2022 when I discovered quarterly planning. Here’s why it works: Big vision → 5-year direction Focus → one or two projects per quarter Execution → daily actions, weekly reviews, and a scorecard It’s a system that has helped me clarify my direction, build my startup part-time, stay consistent with content, and...

Hello Reader, Imagine this, You wake up, check Slack, and realize half your team has been replaced. Not by new hires. By AI agents. Sounds extreme? It’s already happening. At Google, ~30% of code is AI-generated At Microsoft, ~30% At Robinhood, ~50% Across the industry, ~41% The uncomfortable truth Companies don’t care how code is written. They care about speed, cost, and results. If AI can write, test, and debug faster, why wouldn’t they use it. That’s why: 82% of developers are already...
