I’m 20, quit my 9-5 to build my SaaS… and now I feel like giving up.
Hey founders,
I’m 20 years old and I’ve been building Postzio a social media management tool completely solo.
When I started, I was full of energy.
Full of motivation.
Full of belief.
I was working a 9–5 job… and one day I decided to quit so I could go all in on building my own product. I thought if I give it everything, it has to work.
For months I’ve been coding, fixing bugs, learning marketing, doing everything alone. Sleepless nights. No weekends. Just building.
But here’s the truth…
I still have zero real users.
And honestly?
I’m tired.
I’m demotivated.
Some days I just want to quit.
Then another part of me says:
“Maybe one more push. One more try.”
I don’t know if the problem is the product, the marketing, or me.
So I’m asking this community
Have you ever been at this stage?
What did you do when you felt like quitting?
How did you push through when nothing was working?
And if anyone here is interested in contributing or even exploring the idea of becoming a co-founder, I’d love to connect. I don’t want to give up too early.
I just need honest advice from people who’ve been through this.
Should I keep going? Pivot? Get a job again and build on the side?
I’d really appreciate your guidance.
Thanks for reading ❤️
