Microconf is the best resource out there for those wanting to start a self funded business, like a SaaS app for instance. I’ve been following the content since 2016 and I credit a lot of what I have learnt and that has enabled me to create a $250,000 ARR two-person bootstrapped company at age 30 to this resource.
