The main reason why some people reach $5K MRR with a SaaS and others don't, isn't features or anything, it's simply keeping it alive and not abandoning it I think, which is harder than it looks

99% of the time the only thing that matters is getting to product market fit. That gives you the most leverage in all future fundraises. All the bullshit above (and all the other fundraising optimizations) become important less than 1% of the time. Optimize for the 99%.
