A launched B2B/B2C SaaS the founder is growing by manually onboarding the first ~200 users (cold/warm DMs) and using daily TikTok livestreams to drive signups (claimed growth from 200 → 500 users in 2–3 weeks).

Problem it solves. Provides a software product for cloud/programming audiences (exact problem not specified) and reduces friction by founder-led onboarding and live demos.

The post describes an existing launched SaaS with concrete user counts and a specific distribution strategy (manual onboarding + TikTok live) and multiple commenters engage seriously—no one calls it an ad or accuses fabrication; however no revenue or product link is provided so claims aren't fully verifiable.

“the every day part is what I'd ask about. a 2 hour live plus dms on threads and linkedin is a second job on top of building. what happens on a day you skip, do signups drop to nothing or does the youtube stuff carry it?” ▲ 15
