The Seattle indie SaaS scene

Seattle's indie SaaS cohort tilts heavily toward technical founders – often ex-Microsoft, ex-Amazon, ex-cloud-vendor engineers building developer tools, infrastructure SaaS, or B2B vertical software. The strength is engineering depth; the gap, predictably, is positioning and offer framing.
