I got lucky and built a Micro-SaaS that grew to a healthy ARR.
At least, I assume I got lucky. I’ve only done this once. Twice? I have yet to attempt.
I remember the early days of painful uncertainty and minuscule MRR before I really understood my market. Could I break through that “fog of startup” a second time?
Whether you’re on the venture treadmill or your aspirations are smaller (but every bit as valid, IMHO), building a great business — solving a real and pressing problem, communicating that solution to the right people at the right time, and capturing some of the value created — well, it’s never easy.
I appreciate the aspirational tone of the article, but I don’t feel that it captures… any of this? To me, anyway, it feels important to at least acknowledge that much of the work is unglamorous grind whose outcome is always in doubt.
- lumost 4y agoCurious what if any funding models would have helped you achieve this outcome? I suspect although I could be wrong, that a small amount of venture capital prices at a reasonable SMB rate would enable many more successful small SaaS firms. It’s a shame that in software we must always “go big” or go home. Particularly when much of the world runs on broken or nonexistent software.
