Getting your first 100 customers is one of the hardest, and most
defining milestones for any startup. In this practical session, Kashif Saleem
shares the real frameworks he used to acquire early customers while building a
YC-backed SaaS company from scratch. Attendees will learn how to validate
demand, design simple outreach systems, avoid common early-stage mistakes, and
build traction before product-market fit. This is a tactical, no-fluff session
focused on what actually works in the early days.
Kashif Saleem is the Founder & CEO of SubscriptionFlow, a
YC-backed SaaS platform helping businesses manage recurring revenue at scale. A
member of the Forbes Technology Council, he mentors founders and students
through various academic programs and hackathons. He focuses on helping
early-stage builders turn ideas into scalable systems and sustainable growth.
