Top blogs for SaaS founders

If you're a SaaS founder, I’d focus less on generic startup blogs and more on publications that teach GTM, product, pricing, retention, hiring, and scaling.

My shortlist

1. SaaStr — SaaS-specific operating advice

• Excellent for sales, ARR, fundraising, hiring, pricing, and scaling.
• Particularly useful once you're thinking about going from early revenue toward serious scale. SaaStr explicitly focuses on helping founders get from $0 to $100M ARR. SaaStrAI+1

2. Lenny's Newsletter — Product + growth

• Great for product strategy, growth loops, user research, PLG, and customer acquisition.
• More tactical than most startup publications.

3. First Round Review — Company building

• Deep, operator-written pieces on hiring, management, product, sales, marketing, and founder decisions.
• The current archive has particularly useful material on PMF, GTM, compensation, and scaling. First Round+1

4. Growth Unhinged — SaaS growth + PLG

• Especially useful for pricing, packaging, monetization, PLG and SaaS growth strategy.

5. MicroConf — Bootstrapped SaaS

• Particularly relevant if you're bootstrapping or building a small, profitable SaaS rather than chasing VC-scale growth.

6. a16z's Future — Technology + market shifts

• Better for understanding where SaaS, AI, infrastructure and business models are heading than for day-to-day operating tactics.

7. Stratechery — Strategy

• Excellent for understanding platforms, distribution, competitive dynamics and technology business models.

If I could only follow 3

SaaS founder: SaaStr + Lenny + First Round Review.

That combination gives you SaaS execution + product/growth + company-building without turning your reading list into a second full-time job.

If you're specifically looking for blogs that will help you grow a SaaS from $0 → $1M ARR, I can also give you a much more tactical list organized by idea → first customers → PMF → $10k MRR → $1M ARR.
