How a Founder Used a Free Public Library to Build a SaaS Company

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the story of a first-time founder who bootstrapped her SaaS company by spending 40 hours a week at the New York Public Library. With no office and no coffee shop budget, she used library resources to research competitors, write code, and even conduct user interviews in the quiet reading room. The conversation dives into how constraints can force creative solutions and why free public infrastructure is an underrated tool for early-stage entrepreneurs. Lucas breaks down how she validated her idea without spending a dime on customer discovery tools, and Luna challenges the assumption that you need a co-working space to be taken seriously. The episode closes with a reflection on the hidden value of public institutions and a reminder that the best resources aren't always the ones you pay for. #Bootstrapping #SaaS #PublicLibrary #NewYorkPublicLibrary #CustomerDiscovery #NoBudget #LeanStartup #FirstTimeFounder #Business #Entrepreneurship #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheFoundersJourney #Validation #FreeResources #SoloFounder #ScrappyStartup #LibraryCardCEO Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
