Building a SaaS Startup shows some similarities to driving the washboard roads of Africa. When you start driving, the corrugated road shakes and rattles your car and you start to fear that the vehicle is breaking apart any moment, certainly well before you reached your planned goal. If you are frightened to speed up and gain momentum, your car will soon break apart indeed. The only way to succeed is the bold acceleration until you reach a more stable stage at a certain velocity.
