How to Launch a SaaS MVP in 30 Days

Launching a SaaS MVP doesn’t need to take months. In fact, shipping faster gives you a better shot at real feedback, less burnout, and a tighter product. With the right approach and tools, you can go from zero to live in just 30 days.

This guide breaks down what to focus on - and what to skip - so you can move with confidence.

Don’t start with features — start with pain. Define a specific problem, a real user, and the core job they want done.

A good MVP solves one pain point well. Write a one-sentence value proposition. Define your ideal user. And resist the urge to build too much.

Sketch out the basic user flow — landing, sign up, dashboard, and feature screen.

Pick a stack that lets you move quickly: for example, Next.js, Supabase, Tailwind CSS, and TinaCMS. Use templates like aSaaSin to skip boilerplate and start with structure.

Now it’s time to build - but only the must-haves. Login, one main feature, and a basic UI is enough.

Use fake data if needed. Skip edge cases. Push to production early (use Vercel or Railway) and iterate live.

In the final week, add just enough polish to make it usable. Set up a changelog, add one blog post, and polish the landing page. Don’t aim for perfect - aim for feedback.

Announce it to a focused audience (X, Reddit, indie hackers) and start collecting feedback.

Done is better than perfect.
