The round-up.
Who raised, who's hiring, who's quietly in trouble. UK and Ireland only, five to seven items, with a real take on each rather than a rewritten press release.
One teardown.
A UK SaaS company pulled apart. What they tried, what worked, what it cost them, and what you can copy.
One tactic.
Something you can run this week, with the UK specifics that break it elsewhere. VAT, hiring, R&D claims, SEIS and EIS, selling into the NHS or the public sector.
The tooling.
AI and software worth your time, filtered by someone who ships with it daily. No launch announcements you have already seen.
The build log.
An honest running account of a SaaS being built right now, with real numbers in it. Including the bad ones.
You are building or running a SaaS company in the UK. Maybe you have customers, maybe you have a first hire, maybe you are still deciding whether to raise. You want to know what is actually working for companies your size, in your market, under your rules.
If you want funding-round headlines with no analysis, the tech press already has you covered.
If you want motivational content about founder mindset, this will bore you.
If you are building for the US market and the UK is just where you happen to live, most of this will not apply.
This is issue zero. No archive, no subscriber count to impress you with, no testimonials.
What there is: a weekly commitment, sources that get named, and numbers that get checked before they get printed. If that turns out not to be worth your Tuesday, one click and you're gone.
