SaaS Legal Basics: GDPR, EU AI Act, and Compliance Awareness
por Vibe Coders Manual
SaaS legal basics are what most developers ignore until something goes wrong. Not legal advice - just two founders talking through the compliance landscape they wish someone had explained before they started charging customers. This episode covers GDPR, the EU AI Act effective August 2026, PCI scope for Stripe-integrated products, business entity tradeoffs, and the four documents most founders encounter before their first paying user. For anything that affects your business, talk to a real lawyer.
SaaS exit strategy is something most solo founders think about too late. What buyers pay for in 2026 is certainty of future value — not current features. This episode maps the three endgames for bootstrapped founders: lifestyle business, strategic acquisition, and acqui-hire. With 2025 Acquire.com multiple data by ARR range, lifestyle business net income math at real MRR levels, the five durable moats that survive AI-accelerated competition, and the technical due diligence checklist to start building against now — not 30 days before a sale.
