Ask HN: SaaS startup success stories
Hi,
Do you know good SaaS startup success stories? I would be interested in companies that first tried to build something for a few trusted customers, then opened up to the public.
A friend of mine needs some inspiration how this could work out for their idea.
Thanks!

It's less of a startup than a lifestyle business, but it's done fairly well. My email is in my HN profile if you have any followup questions. Don't hesitate to get in touch!
- usernamebias 10y agoThere are so many great SaaS microservices out there it can seem overwhelming and scary to think your idea is a good idea -- a solid plan is to create something that focus on a niche, initially. Gain traction with the 2% -- expand and market to the 98% when able.
