Excellent! We need more SaaS builders in Africa.

Nice niche you've got there and an uncomplicated tech stack. Microsoft has a funding program: foundershub.startups.microsoft.com/, as long as you use some AI features, you can get Azure credit to host and run your product.

Seems like you have an ICP already which is great! always a good idea to validate first before building, most devs just build and then struggle with the distribution.

All the best I am sure you'll do well!

Korir, congrats on taking the leap to build a SaaS! 🎉 It’s always inspiring to see developers turning ideas into reality.

If you’re looking to streamline your development process, you might want to check out Exocoding. It’s a new platform we just launched, designed to give developers total freedom in code generation—no low-code barriers, no vendor lock-in.

It’s free to try, and I think it could be a great tool for your MVP journey. Would love to see you share your progress while building in public! ;)

Out of curiosity: Any particular reason, why you choose MySQL instead of PostgreSQL?
