8 SaaS Communities Every Founder Should Join in 2025

Building a SaaS product can feel like a lonely road, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you're bootstrapping, scaling, or just launching, being part of the right community can change everything.

In this post, you will find 8 of the most valuable SaaS communities to join in 2025, whether you want advice, co-founder connections, feedback on your product, or just someone to say “yeah, I’ve been there.”

Why SaaS Founders Should Join a Community

Let’s face it—starting a SaaS business is tough.

• You’ll face product-market fit doubts

• You’ll need marketing help, funding advice, and user feedback

That’s where SaaS communities come in. They connect you with other founders, marketers, developers, and VCs who have either solved what you’re facing, or are going through it too.
