  • Build an online community that transforms your startup - Insider Guidance
    Jan 13 2026

    Building a community isn’t a “nice to have” for founders – it’s a growth engine.

    In this episode, you’ll learn how to build an online community that creates trust, drives referrals, reduces support load, and can even become the backbone of an affiliate program.

    Claudio Meireles (serial entrepreneur) breaks down what community actually means (it’s not just a Facebook group), why people join for the product but stay for the people, and how founders can use community as a “GPS” to shape the right product for the right audience.

    Key takeaways ✅ • Why people join for the product, but stay for the people • How to start by tapping into existing communities first • A simple framework: support – inspire – nurture • How community turns users into power users (and cuts support tickets) • Choosing the right platform: Discord, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram Groups • How to build ambassadors and affiliates without being spammy

  • Building a SaaS Startup as an Agency: Insider Look
    Dec 9 2025

    Can you build a real startup without burning your savings by funding it through your agency work?

    In this episode, we talk with Adam and Carmel from POS Cafe, a Shopify POS app for cafes, about what it actually looks like to run a client agency and a SaaS product at the same time.

    We dig into the emotional rollercoaster, the financial pressure, the slow progress, and why they still believe this path is worth it.

    You'll learn:

    *Why they started with an agency first – and how that paid for their startup

    *The real trade-offs between agency work (relationships) and SaaS (scale)

    *How working hands-on with clients gave them a sharper SaaS idea than any brainstorm

    *What changed in their mindset once they shipped their first version to the Shopify App Store

    *How they choose which features to build next (and what they regret building)

    *Why niching down on cafes + Shopify POS became their unfair advantage

    If you're an agency owner dreaming about your own product, or a founder thinking about bootstrapping through services, this conversation will give you a very honest look behind the scenes – including the moments where they almost gave up.
