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).
