Every SaaS Founder Needs This Growth Toolkit — Here’s Who’s Behind It
[Source: Designli]
Article by Ilze-Mari GründlingIlze-Mari Gründling
Published May 07 2025 - 11.17am EST

This is a sponsored article created in partnership with Designli.

Key Takeaways:

  • Impact Week offers SaaS founders a one-week audit including workshops, code reviews, and UX/UI design proposals.
  • Designli’s two-week SolutionLab sprint delivers a clickable prototype and clear development roadmap for SaaS market validation.
  • The Designli and SaaS Academy partnership helps SaaS founders validate ideas quickly, identify technical gaps, and plan for growth.

Software development agency Designli and SaaS Academy have partnered to simplify the product validation process.

Through this partnership, SaaS companies and startups can access Designli’s software concept developer and participate in Impact Week, a one-week intensive for SaaS Founders looking to overcome common bottlenecks during concept development.

“SaaS Academy founders can expect a clear, structured process that brings their product ideas to life fast.

Whether you're starting fresh or feeling stuck, our free product audit offers a no-obligation way to uncover issues, align your team, and chart a path forward with confidence,” said Keith Shields, CEO at Designli.

Impact Week: A 1-week intensive to optimize & scale your software strategy

Impact Week is a complimentary but intensive one-week audit that helps SaaS founders align their business goals, user needs, and technical strategies.

It includes workshops to determine product pain points, a code audit with technical recommendations, and a design review with UX/UI concept proposals designed to improve usability and engagement.

SaaS founders can also interact with designers, developers, and product owners, offering the perfect platform for evaluating, diagnosing, and planning.

About the 2-Week ‘SolutionLab’ Sprint to Market Validation

Meanwhile, Designli’s two-week SolutionLab prototyping process helps validate ideas and gain market feedback, stakeholder validation, and outside investment before full product development begins.

The goal of the two-week discovery sprint is to:

  • Frame the project and solidify the development plan
  • Jumpstart design, including clickable prototypes
  • Prepare the team for development

By the end of the process, SaaS founders can walk away with a shareable, interactive prototype and a clear development roadmap.

The “Designli MVP experience: from vision to version 1” starts with a clickable prototype in Figma. This enables real-user testing in just two weeks before committing to the full development.

Thereafter, Designli helps build a fully custom, scalable codebase — designed for long-term growth, adaptability, iteration, and scale.

“SaaS founders face big decisions early on, and partnerships like these provide the clarity and direction they need to get it right. With the right support, it's easier to move fast, stay focused, and build something that lasts,” Shields added.

SaaS Academy helps B2B SaaS founders build successful, scalable companies that achieve sustainable growth.

From Big Ideas to Execution

Through their partnership, Designli and SaaS Academy are making it easier for SaaS founders to turn their ideas into successful products. Now, founders can get the support they need to refine their concepts, test them quickly, and plan for growth.

This partnership with SaaS Academy is just the start. For founders ready to scale, Designli’s other collaborations, like with Founderville, offer even more support to help turn their vision into reality.
