“I…. am .500”

Back.

If I wanted to build a micro SaaS that generates more ARR/FTE than a $50M+ SaaS company and more EBITDA/FTE than a $5-$20M ARR firm, this would be the step-by-step process... Step 1: Find your niche Pick a vertical with fewer than 250K businesses that's behind on digital transformation. The weirder, the better - you want a market too small for VC-backed players. // Target mature industries with: • No dominance or concentration among a few large enterprises • Growth rates under 20% (avoids any bubble risk) • Complex problems that justify premium pricing Step 2: Build your moat Focus on problems complex enough that domain expertise creates real barriers to entry. Your specialized knowledge should be your competitive advantage. // Create defensive positions through: • Specialized integrations with industry-specific tools • Deep workflow automation that's hard to replicate • Features that solve unique vertical challenges Step 3: Set up your operations Design every process to scale without adding headcount. Automate support, sales, and success from day one. Your goal: $350K+ ARR per employee. // Implement from the start: • Self-serve onboarding with embedded video tutorials • AI-powered support handling 80% of tickets • Automated success playbooks for common scenarios • Programmatic expansion campaigns (e.g if a user / customer does this, they are a candidate for up/cross-sell) Step 4: Structure your pricing Build for high LTV customers with low support needs. Price based on value delivered, not market averages. This drives both margins and retention. // Design pricing that: • Aligns with industry-specific ROI metrics • Creates natural expansion paths • Rewards self-serve behavior • Captures value from integrations Step 5: Optimize for efficiency Focus ruthlessly on metrics that matter: • 40%+ EBITDA margins • Low CAC through targeted channels • High cash conversion • Predictable, recurring revenue // Achieve this through: • Zero-touch sales for smaller accounts • Automated expansion triggers • Industry-focused content that drives organic growth • Integration-driven network effects The reality? You don't need a massive TAM to build an exceptional business. Sometimes, the most profitable opportunities are in the niches everyone else thinks are too small. I broke down this entire operating concept here >> If you're exploring an exit or have someone in your world who might be, I am 100% available to discuss performance metrics and opportunities to enhance valuation (so the convo is productive no matter the outcome). For the love of the game 🏴‍☠️ ⚡️ #MicroSaaS #Entrepreneurship #SaaS #Growth
