📝 An interview with Maciej Cupial from Poland, founder of Calendesk…
Origin story…
I started Calendesk in 2020/2021 after a conversation with my hairdresser, who was struggling to manage bookings efficiently.
He wanted a simple tool but couldn’t find one that fit his needs. Given my programming background, I thought, “Why not build a solution myself?”
🧐 How Maciej validated the idea…
Instead of trying to build the “perfect” SaaS, I decided to launch quickly and get feedback from real users. So, I created a landing page with a clear CTA, launched Google Ads to drive traffic, and offered a free beta to early users.
I love how he got the idea by talking with his hairdresser 😍

Try to strike up conversations with business owners you interact with, learn what problems they have, see if you can provide a solution (doesn’t have to be software).
