Business models of the companies with over $240k ARR: - outsourcing to humans - asset acquirement leverage - education - outsourcing to ai - event organizing - adding a missing feature to a platform - internet marketing saas - copied a website and added a missing feature - micro feedback as a service Copying a website and adding a feature is great for someone who spends their time becoming a better software craftsperson. Micro feedback as a service is a fascinating market I had never considered. Exceptional creativity there. Could be applied generally to many domains. PullRequest is doing code review as a service which is a great example of applying it to another specific domain. Edit: formatting.

I'm a little confused. The companies from the post that dealt with feedback had far less than $240k ARR. Which "micro feedback" companies are you referring to?

  I think SubmitHub

    Exactly. SubmitHub states 55k/MRR.

  The revenue listed in the article is per month. The above appears to correlate with the subset whose monthly revenue is >$20k.

The business model of the first company I worked for was a simplification: take a complex (hardware) product with many features and release a version of it that only consists of the most important feature.

  I was wondering if there was a way to see (or just ask for) the most used features of existing SaaS apps with $100k - $1m MRR and make a whole product that is just that feature with no frills.

    One way to get this data might be to contact the person at the company who signs off on the saas purchase and asking what the 80% use case for the product is. LinkedIn might be enough to find such a purchaser.

    The people using them often gather in certain forums or conferences. You could try there asking them directly. If contact info is available, there's a marketing opportunity.
