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.

Helped Justin Bieber win on TikTok. Now building AI for Linkedin (create a week's worth of content in seconds)

From Bieber to AI
↓

I created an agency helping the world's biggest stars dominate TikTok.

Bieber, Cardi B, Eminem - they all crushed it with our strategies.

Chance is, you've seen our work without even knowing it.

But then I had a lightbulb moment 💡

"What if I could train an AI on the best creators' content and help LinkedIn writers level up their game too?"

So I locked myself in my coding cave.

A thousand Nespresso "pour" button presses later, Postwise was born.

An AI trained on the world's best content to generate personalized posts, just for you.

The goal? To help you create thumb-stopping content that gets you noticed.

Imagine having the power of Bieber's content team at your fingertips.

That's the magic of Postwise.

LinkedIn gave me everything and I mean EVERYTHING.

Sitting here at 12:03 AM thinking about how LinkedIn became my entire life without me noticing.

Like, when did that happen? When did refreshing notifications become breathing? When did your comments start feeling more real than conversations with people I can actually touch?

Postwise was already alive (an AI ghostwriter for Twitter, Threads, and LinkedIn creators).

Three years of quiet existence, Twitter customers, doing fine, nothing special...

Then I started documenting here.

And holy shit!!!

Suddenly, people weren't just customers. They were... invested? Like actually giving a f*ck about product updates? Sending DMs about feature requests at midnight? Sharing posts like they owned equity?

Someone in Singapore started evangelising it to their network. Someone in the UK wrote, “I think I have found my new best AI friend 🫶🏻” and meant it. Meant IT.

This platform. God, this platform.

Everyone's sleeping on it. Treating it like a CV graveyard when it's actually a TRIBE-BUILDING MACHINE if you just... show up. Share the real stuff. The messy middle.

Twitter gave me users.
LinkedIn gave me believers.

See the difference? Users click buttons. Believers build movements. Users churn. Believers recruit.

You weren't passive observers. You were in my DMs at 12 AM. In the comments encouraging me to keep going. Making me realize Postwise wasn't just a tool, it was bigger than that.

Listen, if you're reading this and still treating LinkedIn like a job board, you're missing the whole fucking game.

This place rewards radical transparency. Documentation. Showing up consistently even when you think nobody's watching.

(They're always watching.)

Anyway...

Just wanted to say that...

Whatever this is...

Whatever we're building...

It exploded the moment I stopped hiding behind polish and started being real here.

Wake up.
Document everything.
Watch what happens.

Love, 
Elliott

A BIG creator I respect is robbing you BLIND.

They say: "Don't schedule your LinkedIn posts"

Wait, what?

LinkedIn LITERALLY built scheduling into the platform.

And you think they'd punish you for using it?

Let me get this straight:

• LinkedIn builds scheduling
• LinkedIn wants engagement
• But LinkedIn hates scheduled posts?

Make it make sense.

Look, I get it:

→ Some swear by manual posting.
→ Others schedule everything.
→ Both get results.

But the funny thing is...

Most of us have real jobs.
Real commitments.
Real lives.

We can't sit refreshing LinkedIn 24/7.

So schedule or don't schedule.

Just stop the cult behaviour of forcing others to post manually.

And focus on what matters:

Good.
Content.

That's it.

Rant over.

Share this ♻️ if you're tired of the myths.

The reason you WON'T sign any clients?

Monday: You rant about mental health.
Tuesday: You rant about toxic leadership.
Wednesday: You rant about remote work.
Thursday: You ship your weekend workout.
Friday: You finally mention your coaching offer.

Tf is going on?

Your feed looks like 5 DIFFERENT people.

And your ideal client?

They're lost.

They don't know what you actually DO.

Because you've spent 80% of your time complaining.

And 20% selling.

That's backwards.

Every single post should build toward ONE thing:

"This person can solve my problem."

Not:

"This person has a lot of problems."

Focus your message.

Or lose your audience.

Love,
Elliott 💜

Everyone on linkedin: "Be authentic!"

Also, everyone on LinkedIn: "Let me tell you about this TRANSFORMATIVE experience I had that definitely happened exactly as im describing it and definitely wasn't edited 29 times to sound inspirational."

I love it here.

"LinkedIn is just NPCs" - X users.

Meanwhile, on LinkedIn:

→ A founder shares their failure openly
→ Someone lands their dream job
→ Strangers offer genuine career advice

This platform is beautiful.
Not perfect, but beautiful.

Where else can you:

Watch people grow in real time?
Learn from industries you've never touched?
Get actual feedback on your ideas?

X is optimised for anger.

LinkedIn is optimised for opportunity.

Sure, we have our "thought leader" moments.

Every family has that one uncle.

But the potential here is insane.

I've seen careers launched.
Partnerships formed.
Mentorships born.

That's not NPC behaviour.

That's human potential unleashed.

X can keep their algorithm of outrage.
I'll stick with the algorithm of growth.

A love letter to all ANXIOUS creators:

"Should I..."

☑ Do videos or text?
☑ Schedule or wing it?
☑ Post daily or weekly?
☑ Go full AI or not?

Look.

No one's stopping you from trying everything.

But please.

For the love of algorithms...

Don't quit.

Just keep going.

My dear buttercup...

Try stuff.
Fail stuff.
Learn stuff.

But never.
Ever.
Quit.

♻️ Share if you needed this today.

Love,
Elliott

"What if nobody reads my posts?"

What if 1 person sees it and it changes their life?

What if it goes viral and lands me my dream job?

What if someone screenshots it and shares it everywhere?

What if a CEO reads it and wants to hire me?

Always lead with delusional optimism.

That's how I grew my LinkedIn to 16,000+ creators.

That's how I built my SaaS to 38,000+ users (no VC).

Be delusional. It works.

+ 6 ways to practice delusional optimism:

1. Reframe every setback as a setup.
2. Ask "What if this works?" before "What if it doesn't?"
3. Celebrate small wins like big ones.
4. Surround yourself with other delusional optimists.
5. Write down your craziest goals daily.
6. Act as if success is inevitable.

Realistic expectations = realistic results.
Delusional expectations = extraordinary results.

DOMINATE.

Shoutout to LinkedIn creators who turn buying coffee into a 31-part story about leadership.

The barista misspelt your name, and now you understand what it means to be a CEO.

Insane stuff.

"Your content’s cringe."
Post anyway.

"Nobody cares what you think."
Post anyway.

"LinkedIn’s just fake positivity."
Post anyway.

"You’re not even an expert."
Post anyway.

"Why would anyone follow you?"
Post anyway.

"Your niche is oversaturated."
Post anyway.

"You're posting too much."
Post anyway.

"You need a pro setup."
Post anyway.

The people saying this?

→ Have 0 posts themselves
→ Are stuck at 500 connections
→ Hide behind LinkedIn lurker mode

And my dear buttercup...

They ain't gonna write your posts for you.
They ain't gonna sell your offer for you.
They ain't gonna believe in you.
They ain't gonna clap for you.
They ain't gonna SAVE you.

Don't ask yourself:
"What if I started sooner?"

You get one shot at LinkedIn growth.

Don’t waste it because some random weirdo told you to wait.

Start posting today.

♻️ Share this if you’re ready to grow.

PS - If you want to grow while touching grass, sleeping properly, and actually living your life...

Hop on Postwise.

38,000 creators use this ghostwriter to do what most people are too scared to even start.

Traditional ghostwriters are DEAD.

My entire content team is now AI-powered.

The stack that replaced them ↓

☑ Voice → banger posts.
☑ Clone any creator's style.
☑ Multi-platform publishing.
☑ Platform-specific formatting.
☑ Options for auto-comment, auto-repost, etc.
☑ Viral tweet screenshot generator (like below).

One tool does it all: Postwise.

Best part?

It’s 95% cheaper than a “premium” ghostwriter… and honestly? Better.

♻️ Share if you're ready to upgrade your content game.

"LinkedIn is dead"

No mate... you just don’t understand how the best creators operate.

The best creators...

- Are addicted to consistency.
- Document daily micro-stories.
- Build swipe files for inspiration.
- Always lead with their philosophy.
- Obsess over audience psychology.
- Actually care about their audience deeply.
- Own a movement/idea (eg, solopreneurship).

Creating with intention is powerful.

i'm tired of the grey LinkedIn.

you know what i mean? that particular shade of linkedin grey where everyone's "thrilled to announce" and "humbled to share" and mate, MATE—we've become NPCs in our own lives... scrolling through our own obituaries.

(yeah, i just used an em-dash above and i don't give a f)

so yeah. i'm done.

that image down below, the one about wasted talent, it's been rattling around my skull like a marble in an empty can because what's more wasteful than having this ENTIRE platform where brilliant minds gather and we're all just...

performing professional?

cosplaying corporate?

nah.

i'm going feral. going to start dropping insightful bombs in your feed. make you FEEL something between the job updates and humble brags.

i know we're all desperate for someone to be REAL on here. to admit they don't have it all figured out. to share something that doesn't sound like it was written by chatgpt's boring cousin.

i want linkedin to be BEAUTIFUL again.

sounds mental when i type it out but fuck it, someone has to try. someone has to prove that professional doesn't mean dead inside. that business conversations can have soul. poetry. mess.

the newsletter's (Notes from Elliott Murray) where i'll spill everything. the experiments. the failures. the small victories when someone messages screaming "finally, something human!!!"

we're all falling anyway.

might as well fall towards something beautiful.

you in?

"You'll fail without investors", they said.

Best advice I ever ignored.

I'm glad I built Postwise (AI ghostwriter for LinkedIn creators) MY WAY.

1/ rejected VCs who promised 'rocket fuel' 🚀

2/ said no to big creators wanting equity

3/ bootstrapped from day zero

4/ built with A-players who GET IT

Why this makes me SO happy:

☑ complete creative freedom
☑ no quarterly investor reports
☑ profits = OURS
☑ build what users want
☑ zero external pressure
☑ team owns their destiny

And guess what?

We're growing faster than most funded startups.

Bootstrapped ≠ slow growth

♻️ Share if you believe in bootstrapped entrepreneurship.

Your deathbed self doesn't care about your LinkedIn achievements.

There's ONE thing I'm pretty sure my 90-year-old self will thank me for...

Living my life with the sole purpose of being a vessel for love and value creation.

For myself. For others. For anyone whose path crosses mine.

I used to think success meant:

1/ Accumulating the most stuff
2/ Climbing every ladder I could find
3/ Proving myself to people who didn't even matter

But here's what I've learned over these past few years living this miracle of a life:

The moments that matter most aren't the ones where you're taking. They're the ones where you're giving. Where you're creating something that makes someone else's day a little brighter, their load a little lighter.

Every conversation where I choose understanding over being right. Every project where I focus on serving rather than just selling. Every day where I ask "how can I add value?" instead of "what can I get?"

These small choices compound.

You can never go wrong with love and value creation. Never. Even when it feels like you're getting nothing back in the moment.

Because decades from now, when I'm looking back at this life, I won't remember the money I made or the recognition I received.

I'll remember the love I gave and the value I created.

That's the legacy worth building.

This STUPIDLY simple hack will help you get LinkedIn rich:

(save and steal this):

First of all, h/t John Nathaneal Galliguez.

I got this little framework from him.

The "Voice Mirror" method:

→ Step 1: Record everything:
• Customer calls
• Support tickets
• Sales demos
• Onboarding sessions

→ Step 2: Hunt for gold:
• How they describe their problems
• Words they use for solutions
• Emotional language patterns
• Specific phrases that repeat

→ Step 3: ???
→ Step 4: ????
→ Step 5: ?????

This STUPIDLY simple hack will help you get LinkedIn rich

Just made one of the toughest calls as a founder.

Had to let someone go today.

Our remote team at Postwise is back to 3.

It's never easy.

But that's the reality of building something.

You make hard decisions.

You live with them.

You keep building.

Excited for his next chapter.

And ours too.

Just saw someone bragging about their "80-hour work week."

Mate, that's not a flex.

That's a confession.

You're basically saying:

"I'm so bad at prioritising that I need 80 hours to do what others do in 40."

Or worse:

"I've built a business that requires me to be a martyr."

Neither is impressive.

Here's what I learned building Postwise:

Working 80 hours doesn't make you dedicated.

It makes you inefficient.

The best founders I know work 6-7 focused hours daily.

They spend the rest of their time:
• Reading
• Walking
• Thinking
• Living

Because that's where the breakthrough ideas come from.

Not from your 14th consecutive hour staring at Notion.

Your brain needs white space to connect dots.
Your body needs rest to perform.
Your relationships need attention to survive.

And your business?

It needs a leader who can think clearly.

Not a zombie who mistakes exhaustion for effort.

If you're working 80 hours a week, you're not winning.

You're burning out in slow motion.

And calling it ambition.

Love,
Elliott 💜

How to NEVER run out of post ideas (ever again):

- Listen to a niche podcast.
- Take notes.
- Take a nap.
- Wake up, go for a walk.
- Open Postwise while walking.
- Brain dump all the ideas.
- Hit 'create'.
- A week's worth of content ready in 10 mins.

Repeat this forever.

toxic boss made you cry? 
"grateful for the learning experience" 

company went under?
"excited for what's next"

we're all (on LinkedIn) stockholm syndrome patients with premium subscriptions

The real reason your content flops:

You're writing for everyone.

Let me tell you about my mate Dave.

Dave runs a £2M agency.
15 employees. Crushing it.

But his LinkedIn?
Ghost town.

"Elliott, I post quality content daily.
Engagement is dead.
Algorithm hates me."

I checked his posts.

Generic leadership advice.
"5 tips to motivate your team"
"Why culture matters"

Boring. Forgettable. Skip.

Here's what I told him:

Stop writing for "entrepreneurs."
Write for ONE person.

Picture them:
- What keeps them up at 3am?
- What lie do they tell themselves?
- What dream feels too big to admit?

Dave picked his past self.
Age 28. First hire. Terrified.

Now his posts hit different:

"I almost fired my first employee after 3 days.
Here's why I'm glad I didn't..."

Boom. 50k views.

Why?

Because 10,000 other founders
felt that exact same fear.

They weren't reading advice.
They were reading their diary.

Content that converts isn't clever.
It's a mirror.

Show people themselves,
and they'll follow you anywhere.

Love,
Elliott 💜
