Helping non-tech Founders transform Ideas into SaaS products @ VeryCreatives | Product Agency, SaaS & MVP Development | Startups

Most non-technical founders struggle turning their SaaS idea into a scalable product.

They waste months (or even years):
→ Trying to hire the right developers
→ Burning cash on poor planning and execution
→ Second-guessing every technical decision along the way

Meanwhile, competitors move faster, investors demand traction, and the pressure to deliver keeps building more and more.

I've seen it happen far too many times.
Which is exactly why we started VeryCreatives.

We help early-stage founders go from idea to market-ready MVP in just 90 days...
...all without the stress of managing a development team of your own or writing a single line of code.

For the past 12 years, we’ve been building products for venture-backed startups, fast-growing scale-ups, and even globally recognized brands like Red Bull, Nestlé, and Philips.

Here’s how it works:

👉 1. Clarify your product strategy: 
First, we validate your idea, define your MVP scope, and ensure you’re building something the market actually wants.

👉 2. Create a world-class user experience:
Next, our design team crafts stunning, intuitive interfaces that set your product apart from the competition.

👉 3. Develop a high-quality, scalable MVP:
Finally, we build a robust and investor-ready product that quickly gets you to market (without cutting corners).

The startups we work with have:
✔️ Launched investor-ready MVPs in under 90 days
✔️ Secured funding from top-tier investors and VCs
✔️ Scaled from first users to thousands of paying customers

So if you’re a non-technical founder looking to turn your idea into a fully built MVP in the next 90 days... all without the stress or headache?

Last week was tough for us.

One of our team members decided to move on after 9 years.

He joined when his kids were still young. Now they’re almost adults.

Over nearly a decade, he became a core part of the company. A leader. A pillar.

But when he told us he was ready for something new, we completely understood.

Because that's the kind of culture we’ve built here at VeryCreatives.

We talk a lot about creating a workplace where people WANT to stay.

But we also want it to be a place they can leave — on good terms, with support, and without regrets.

Sure, it's true that people move from job to job more often now.

But in our case, many team members have been with us for 5, 8, even 10+ years.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

We’ve always tried to build something stable in an unstable world. No politics. No corporate ladder drama. Just good people solving interesting problems together.

And when life happens, whether it's marriages, kids, or relocations, we adapt.

This year alone, we’ve celebrated milestone birthdays across the team — 30, 40, 50. We’re not just working side by side. We’re walking through life stages together.

That’s why people stay for as long as they do.

Because they know VeryCreatives is a place where you can grow AND feel safe. Where your work matters, but so does your life outside of it.

And when someone does eventually decide to move on?

They don’t just disappear. They stay part of the story. Some drop by for a beer. Others come back to work on new projects.

They leave a mark, and they always will.

The bottom line is this:

In a world that’s constantly shifting, it still matters (more than ever) to build something stable.

Not just a place where you can work. But a place where you can belong.

Helping startup founders & innovation labs validate and scale ideas into exit-ready products @ VeryCreatives | 🔥 Two decades in tech

Almost every time, the founders joining our MVP validation sprints come with a crystal-clear product idea… or so they think:

They have a list of features, a target market, and a deadline.

They want us to say "yes, we love it" and build fast.

Instead, 9 times out of 10, we push back.

We challenge every assumption:
👉 "Why do you need this feature?"
👉 "Has any user actually asked for it?"
👉  "What’s the fastest way to test if people will pay?"

Yes, it causes tension. Nobody likes to have their vision picked apart.

But after 2 days of interviews and rapid prototyping, all the flaws in your core hypothesis start to show up.

Sometimes, this means we cut ~70% of the features people just don’t care about.

And that’s what we’re here for. We help you ditch the noise and focus on what actually will grow your SaaS in the early stages.

It’s not a clean-cut process. It gets messy (and annoying) sometimes.

But our goal is to get you to real validation, a leaner MVP, and a demo users get genuinely excited about.

If you want that and a team that won’t nod along, but challenge you: DM me.

How we go from idea →validated MVP in 6 weeks (step by step):

1. Week 0: Ruthless alignment

We start by killing the founder’s “pet features” and locking in the one problem that makes or breaks the business.

If you can’t explain your core value prop in one blunt sentence, you’re not ready to build.

2. Week 1: Real user interviews (no survey BS)

We get the founder out of their bubble.

Talk to 5-10 target users, live (not with a Google Form).

Ask about their last real pain, not “Would you use this?”

This is where most SaaS ideas die (and that’s a good thing).

3. Week 2: Risk mapping

We list every assumption that could destroy your business model.

Then we grab the riskiest one and design our MVP to smash it fast.

No “nice to haves.” Only “must have” proof.

4. Week 3–4: Design-driven build

We use wireframes to map just the critical user flow – nothing more.

Our dev team builds only what’s needed for a real-life test.

If it feels embarrassingly lean, you’re on the right track.

5. Week 5: First contact

We put your ugly MVP in front of real users.

We measure: 

👉 Will they pay?
👉 Will they switch?
👉 Will they commit?

Crickets or confusion? That’s data, not failure.

6. Week 6: Debrief

If users bite, we double down.

If not, we pivot or kill it.

Every week, clarity beats comfort.

Okay, but how is this sprint different from something you can do on your own?

You get:

👉 A full team (PM, design, dev, QA) running tight Agile sprints.

👉 Weekly reports, no black boxes.

👉 3 months of post-launch support – because the real learning really starts after launch.

More details in the first comment – check it out 👇

The mistake I still see after 15 years building SaaS:

Founders obsess over “v2” features because building feels safer than hearing “no.”

So they polish and perfect, hoping bells and whistles can distract from the core risk:

It happens every quarter.

Another founder sinks months into a slick analytics dashboard.

Custom charts, exports, Slack alerts… you name it.

But when launch day comes, nobody even uploads their first dataset.

The question I’m asking my clients is:

Will anyone care enough to use v0.5?

Every “nice to have” is just a shield against the real test.

And every hour spent hiding behind code is a bet that gets more expensive.

All you need is proof someone will bother to try your ugly, unfinished, brutally honest version.

Start hunting for rejection.

Tag a founder who needs to see this.

6 things I’ll never tell a B2B founder to do on LinkedIn:

I help founders build their personal brands. But:

There are some “tactics” I’ll never recommend, no matter how much hype they get:

1. Post photos with their children

Your kids can’t give 100% consent to being online.

It’s weird.

It’s iffy.

You never know who’s looking at those photos, and LinkedIn isn’t the place.

2. Post contrarian takes just to farm engagement

Arguing for attention smells desperate.

People see right through it.

3. Use “proven” formats

If it’s “proven,” it’s probably tired.

Aim to post your original thoughts and processes. Originality gets remembered.

4. Chase every LinkedIn trend

If you’re always chasing, you’re never leading.

5. Share empty “hustle” stories

Nobody cares how early you get up.

They care about results.

6. Fake vulnerability for sympathy

Real leaders don’t perform.

They show up (wins, losses, all of it) no theatrics.

Any other things you see here that I should add to the list?

1 system to consistent inbound for complex B2B offers | 30+ founders using it | Sharing daily content advice for busy B2B leaders

This year forced me to flip StoryAngled upside down – sometimes by choice, sometimes by necessity:

• You’ll see me a LOT more on YouTube soon. I’m tired of chasing LinkedIn’s shifting algo. Time to invest in content that lasts longer than a trending post.

• I’m experimenting with a lighter subscription model. For founders who want  guidance, not a “done-for-you” handoff.

• My business partner and I are parting ways. No drama – just two people choosing their own paths. StoryAngled’s now a solo act.

• And yes, I’m finally building out those client case studies I always said I would. 

(Spoiler: the results are better than I expected.)

I’ve lost sleep over some of these decisions, ngl.

Some days, it’s 90% doubt, 10% stubbornness.

I have no investors. No coach whispering in my ear. 

Just me, a laptop, and a profusely stubborn refusal to quit.

But in 10 years, I want to look back and feel f*cking proud of this chapter.

Not just for the wins, but for the grit it took to keep going.

If you’re also in the middle of a big pivot, or you’ve been there before, I’d love to hear your story.

If your buyer can't use, share or apply the CTA in your content in ~60 seconds, they'll ignore it. I run my CTAs through this filter:

1. Can they use it right now?

A cheat sheet, a checklist, a 2-slide summary – something they can put to work in their next meeting.

2. Can they share it easily?

If your CTA helps them look smart in front of their team, you win.

Think: a quick summary they can forward, a KPI sheet, or a list of questions for their next call.

3. Can they apply it in under a minute?

If it takes more than 60 seconds, it’s too much friction.

Your buyer just scrolls past.

It's about giving your buyer an option as frictionless as possible.

Not because their attention spans suck - but because they don't know you or trust you yet to invest any more time into what you have to offer.

Here's a list of 48 micro-CTA examples for different B2B niches:

Every post I publish here saves €19-49 for my business.

Last week, I checked how much it costs to "boost" my LinkedIn post.

Well, it's kind of a sh!tty offer, tbh.

I mean, 4,300 impressions for €49?!

That’s €0.01–€0.05 per impression.

And that’s just for people seeing it. Not clicking, not engaging, just scrolling by.

I get the same results (for free) for most of the stuff I post.

So here’s how I “save” ~€1200/month (and get way better results):

1. I post 2–5x a week on my company page and personal profile

2. Every post is built around a clear problem my B2B buyers actually care about

3. I use the Demand Packet method:

→ Real trigger
→ Tangible outcome
→ Tiny proof artifact (mini case, checklist, or 2-slide summary)

4. I add a Utility CTA – something genuinely useful, no friction, no forms

5. I repurpose each post for my videos or website.

As a solo operator, I can't afford to pay LinkedIn big bucks for them to show me.

So, irresistible content is my way to go.

If you want to see how I do it, DM me and I’ll send you my template.

I'm building a YT channel for founders tired of B2B content theory. Here's my roadmap:

1. Breakdowns of scrappy B2B teams doing amazing content

↪ GOAL: Catch attention, borrow audience

Every day, I find here another small yet brilliant team creating effective AND creative content here.

I analyze their strategies to get inspired and push my own ideas further.

Got a giant Notion doc with notes – and I want to share it with you.

My hypothesis: this format should bring the exposure both to the brands (they deserve it) and my channel. 

2. Content strategy deep dives

↪ GOAL: Target problem-aware audiences, offer practical solutions

A lot of B2B content strategy videos on YT focus on theory too much.

I want my videos to feel like you're having a 1:1 workshop with me.

You'll get examples, exercises, and supplementary resources you can use to nail each element of a good content strategy.

3. My own case studies

↪ GOAL: Target solution-aware audiences, show – don't tell

Every week, I gather all the wins and losses from my clients' work.

So why shouldn't I turn each one into a separate video, breaking down what worked (or didn't)? 

You'll get really specific breakdowns, from many niches you might call "difficult."

4. Personal content journey

↪ GOAL: Target most aware audiences, build relationship

I share my own journey here – the tests, the lessons, the mistakes.

Here, you'll see the most of my peppy energy.

This format lets me pre-qualify clients who are looking for a creative guy, not just someone who will check boxes for them.

We're in the middle of finalizing the first two videos.

If you're curious how this plan turns out, I put the link to my channel in the first comment.

Pumped to see you there.

How I build B2B inbound flywheels for my clients:

(that attract high-ticket 6-12 leads every month):

1. Demand Packet

Instead, package your expertise as a crisp, self-contained story:

• What real-world pain triggered the search?
• What job does your buyer actually need done?
• What measurable outcome matters?

If you've got proof, show it in 2 slides or a checklist.

You don’t need NDA-breaking data.

You need a story buyers can repeat to their boss.

Example:

“Last quarter, a mid-market ops team cut reporting time by 35% with a single Power BI layer. Here’s the 2-slide brief we gave them.”

That’s a Demand Packet.

2. Utility CTA

Don’t ask for a call.

Offer a micro-win – something useful the buyer can grab right now.

• 2-slide summary
• Risk checklist
• KPI sheet
• Project scoping questions

Zero friction.

Only real prospects bite.

You look helpful, not hungry.

3. Momentum Loop

This is where most founders fall off.

They create content, but never compound it.

How to fix it:

• Pull a Demand Packet from your weekly article
• Pair it with your Utility CTA
• Publish on LinkedIn, send in your newsletter, add to your site
• Engage replies, deliver the asset, gather feedback

Each cycle builds your “library of proof.”

Each asset makes the next easier.

And you don't have to start from scratch.

PS. Which element sounds the most difficult to you right now? Comment below and I'll suggest a fix.

Zero-click behaviour is the new normal for SEO.

Users get their answers inside an AI response box before they ever click through.

That's why we started tracking AI Visibility as a core metric. It shows whether we're present when AI composes its response, long before anyone clicks.

How I explain it to stakeholders:

→ Mindshare vs traffic – A 70% visibility score means we shape 7 of 10 answers in our space, whether users click or not.

→ Platform differences – ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity pull from different sources and favour different formats.

Our weekly process includes 3 steps:

1/ Measure → Monitor visibility and mention position by platform and category

2/ Diagnose → When a prompt underperforms, inspect which domains get cited and how competitors are framed

3/ Improve → Convert long content into extractable blocks, add precise definitions, refresh timestamps

We have been using Writesonic to answer four questions:

• Which prompts include us vs competitors?
• Where competitors get cited and we don't?
• Which pages does AI reference most?
• How often does each platform mention us?

If you know where you stand in AI answers, you can fix the content that's costing you positioning.

I find this shift more interesting than frustrating. 

Do you?

We're currently helping a client get out of the LinkedIn algo slump. Here's what we did to triple his impressions in 2 weeks:

1. Post 5x per week

Consistency matters. The algorithm rewards you for showing up.

2. Engage with top creators in your niche for 1 hour before posting

Leave thoughtful comments to get on their radar. People on LinkedIn are cool and they reciprocate fast.

3. Reply to EVERY comment under your posts

No lazy “thanks.” Real conversations boost your visibility.

4. Second engagement round – 30 more mins on your feed

2 hours after the post goes live, double down. Engage with new faces and support your circle.

5. Send 10 connection requests daily

Target active creators and true pros in your space.

The results are quite decent:

⬆️ +322% impressions

⬆️ +449% people reached

All in a complicated, B2B tech space.

PS. If you're looking for LinkedIn help, click "Book an appointment" below my profile name.

One of my clients recently returned to work with us on his YT. What he said on our first call:

"You're not just creating great stuff, but you're also a great communicator"

That hit me in the feeelzzz...

Look, just like any other content agency, I'm obsessed over deliverables.

I want the work to be top-notch + delivered on time – that's table stakes.

But from Day 1 of StoryAngled, I was also obsessed with giving my clients clarity.

• Translating your expertise into plain English (not jargon soup)

• Asking sharp questions until your real differentiator shows up

• Never “ghosting” – always keeping you in the loop

• Challenging your assumptions when something won’t work

My clients are mostly tired of yet another vendor pushing PDFs over the fence.

They want a partner who listens, gets their world, and closes the loop every step of the way.

Want to see what “content + clarity” feels like?

DM me and I’ll show you how we work – no pitch, just a peek behind the scenes.

PSA: LinkedIn doesn’t need another “innovative” framework that nobody actually uses.

Recently, I noticed a weird trend among content creators.

While they're writing their posts with AI (nothing wrong with that), they let the bot slap a fancy name on a problem they barely understand (everything wrong with that).

Example:

"Data Frankenstein Effect"
"Pipeline Paradox"
"Conversion Chasm"

Sounds cool, right?

But none of these terms actually mean anything in the real world. 

They’re just empty calories for your feed.

And what happens when somebody asks:

“Hey, I’ve never heard of the Pipeline Paradox. How does it show up in your work?”

Now you’re on the spot. 

You either scramble to make something up, or you ghost the thread. 

Both make you look clueless.

Why does this keep happening?

Because AI’s great at stringing together buzzwords. 

It’s easy to let it do the heavy lifting. 

But when you publish jargon you don’t use in real life, you’re burning trust.

I talked about it more in Audrey Chia's podcast that went live this week – and offered a few solutions to this problem (I'm not just bitchin')

Building Brands That Convert | Copywriting + AI + Content Strategy | Founder of Close with Copy | Your Growth Partner 💛

My friend Lee Densmer recently published her book about B2B Content – and I'm OBSESSED!!

Lee is one of my favorite creators out here. Her expertise shines through every post. 

And not because she's using fancy words or flexes bloated numbers. 

But because she brings simplicity and logic to the world so overcomplicated by many "experts."

If you're looking for a guide to build your B2B content program, this book is exactly what you need.

I also had the honor to provide 2 quotes for the book – one about AI + Human content systems and the other about gated content.

Got a lil' emotional seeing my name in a REAL FREAKING BOOK.

Thank you, Lee, for being so awesome!

3 micro-triggers that make B2B buyers actually reply to your content (tested on 2000+ posts this year):

1/ Use their own complaints - word for word

Don’t guess. Steal the exact line your buyers grumble about to their team.

Example: “We’re drowning in broken dashboards every Monday morning.”

Our client posted this and got 5 DMs from ops leaders - 2 booked calls.

2/ Show proof, don’t just promise

Nobody cares about “great results.” They want to see it.

Drop a real before/after screenshot or a no-BS checklist.

We posted a 2-slide “bottleneck fix” for a client - one prospect sent it straight to his COO.

3/ Tell people who should scroll away

Stop trying to please everyone. Say who your solution isn’t for.

Example: “If you don’t have reporting chaos, keep scrolling.”

Every time, the right people lean in and reply – the rest self-select out.

Want to know which trigger fits your market right now?

DM me or drop a comment, I’ll give you my honest answer.
