Show HN: Techmart – Costco for SaaS. The usual tech tools at lower prices (jointechmart.com)

So here’s the deal. I’ve been bootstrapping my startup and realised the sh*t ton that we’re spending on saas. You know the drill in this game, minimize overhead and maximise productivity, usually with tools. We use 28 SaaS tools today – apparently the average is 89, according to Okta - at a range of $9-$600 monthly; it adds up fast!!

That’s when it hit me! What if there was a Costco, but for tech tools?? Even software sellers would win, by acquiring customers at a lower CAC -- a no brainer for both buyers and sellers. So the concept is simple, a member store where you could buy all of your usual tech tools but at lower prices; Techmart.

I’ve built with my brother for the past 2 weeks and we’re now launching it to the world to see if we’re just crazy or this is for real. I’m curious, are we missing something or is it an untapped goldmine waiting to be discovered? Other people need this too? I'm ready to hear the harsh truth.




The idea of being a wholesaler for SaaS products is interesting. I wonder, from a broader perspective, how this wholesale model might shift the traditional SaaS pricing and subscription norms. Could this be a trendsetter for how startups and even established companies approach their software needs? Interested to hear thoughts on the potential long-term impacts on the SaaS industry!
