Can your SaaS make the top-five builder leaderboard?

Most launch posts ask you to read a thread, watch a demo, or sign up for another waitlist.

I wanted something a little more fun: a tiny founder challenge where SaaS makers can compete instead.

BuilderBench is a free web game for builders. It gives you eight events, one all-round score, and a leaderboard where the top five scores can show their SaaS links.

The events are:

  • Reaction Time
  • Sequence Memory
  • Aim Trainer
  • Number Memory
  • Verbal Memory
  • Chimp Test
  • Visual Memory
  • Typing

That mix is funny because it accidentally tests a bunch of founder traits:

  • Can you react fast without overthinking?
  • Can you remember the next step after ten distractions?
  • Can you stay accurate under pressure?
  • Can you type cleanly when your brain is moving faster than your hands?

It is not trying to be a serious productivity framework. It is just a quick, competitive builder benchmark.

If your SaaS makes the top five, your link gets shown there. No paid placement, no weird growth-hack promise, just a simple leaderboard challenge for people building things.

Try it here: https://www.buildersbenchmark.com/

My favorite part is that it gives founders a better call to action than “please check out my launch.”

Instead, it is:

Can you beat the other builders?
