πŸ‘€ Forget unicorns. $10K MRR solo feels way better than $2M seed and stress.

I’m the founder of a micro SaaS, fully bootstrapped, built solo. It scrapes B2B leads from social platforms and Google Maps β€” no logins, no cookies.

πŸ’Έ Making revenue from day one.
The more I build, the more I believe: Micro SaaS > VC-backed startups.
I’ve seen too many:
β€œπŸ’° Raised $700K β†’ πŸ”₯ Burned through it β†’ 😰 Stressed out trying to raise again.”

Meanwhile, I just:
πŸš€ Ship small features
πŸ”§ Fix bugs
πŸ’¬ Talk to users
πŸ“ˆ Grow at my own pace

No investor updates. No board meetings. No pitch decks for every little thing.

All you really need is:
βœ… a useful product
βœ… a few paying customers
βœ… a feedback loop that actually works

And yes β€” $5K–$20K MRR solo is very doable β€” with high margins, full freedom, and zero outside pressure.

πŸ‘‹ Curious to hear from other solo or small team builders β€” how’s the journey going for you?

If you're still deciding between a traditional startup or a micro SaaS, happy to share more behind the scenes!
