Many founders try to build a big SaaS platform from day one.
But that’s usually where things go wrong.
Too many features.
Too many users to target.
Too many problems to solve.
Instead, many profitable founders start with Micro SaaS, small products solving one very specific problem.
Think tools like:
• a reporting automation tool for Shopify stores
• a niche CRM for real estate brokers
• an AI email response generator for support teams
• a small analytics dashboard for SaaS founders
These aren’t billion-dollar ideas.
But they’re real problems people pay for.
I recently came across a list of 100 Micro SaaS ideas across different industries, including AI tools, automation products, and niche B2B utilities.
