Before you build: ✅ Start a Beehiiv/Substack & see if people care ✅ Cold email 100 prospects & test response ✅ Use Google Trends to see if demand is rising ✅ Pre-sell with a simple landing page + Stripe If nobody bites, your idea is dead.

To hit $10K MRR you need: 📌 200 customers @ $50/mo 📌 100 customers @ $100/mo 📌 20 customers @ $500/mo The lesson? Go upmarket. Selling fewer high-ticket customers is faster than chasing thousands of low-paying users.

Amazon doesn’t sell the most products. Amazon sells the most products sold by others. Enterprise is doing the same. The real SaaS winners? The ones powering enterprise marketplaces, not just selling inside them.

Retailers aren’t just selling their own products anymore. They’re becoming the marketplace. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Sephora are letting other brands sell on their platforms. Why? Because owning the customer is more valuable than owning the inventory.

90% of SaaS startups never hit $10K MRR. Not because: ❌ The product wasn’t great ❌ The idea wasn’t smart ❌ The market wasn’t big They fail because: ⚠️ No real demand ⚠️ No repeatable sales process ⚠️ No cash flow runway

Most founders underprice their SaaS. •You think cheaper = more customers. •In reality, low prices attract high churn users. •Enterprise doesn’t care about $10/month tools. Price based on value, not fear.

Most enterprise R&D fails because it’s built in a vacuum. Venture builders fix this by: ✅ Testing before building ✅ Moving at startup speed ✅ Reducing costs by 50% The future of innovation isn’t slow—it’s venture-built.

The fastest-growing franchises don’t “scale”—they systemize. ❌ Manual training ❌ Inconsistent operations ❌ Slow decision-making Smart franchises use SaaS automation to create repeatable success.

SaaS founders waste months building without validating demand. Before writing a single line of code, do this: ✅ Pre-sell to 10+ customers ✅ Run a manual MVP (Google Forms, Zapier) ✅ Charge from Day 1 Build what people pay for, not what you think they want.

The best SaaS products aren’t the most advanced. They’re the simplest, fastest, and clearest solutions to painful problems. ✅ Calendly → Scheduling in 2 clicks ✅ Loom → Async video in seconds ✅ Zapier → Automation without code Build simple. Scale fast.

McDonald’s, Starbucks & Domino’s all use SaaS to scale. But most franchises still run on manual operations. The biggest opportunity? Helping franchise businesses automate, streamline, and scale with SaaS.

Most companies buy startups for $500M+. The smartest ones build them for $5M. 🚀 Enterprise venture builders launch internal startups that compete with disruptors—at half the cost of traditional R&D.

Micro SaaS founders fail when they focus on features instead of problems. You don’t need a perfect product. You need: ✅ A painful problem ✅ A simple solution ✅ A clear paying audience Solve this, and money follows.

The best Micro SaaS ideas aren’t created—they’re discovered. Stop brainstorming random ideas. Instead: ✅ Find painful, high-cost problems ✅ Identify duct-taped solutions (Google Sheets, VAs) ✅ Build something simpler & faster

Enterprise R&D is broken. 🚨 Millions spent. Years wasted. No market validation. The smartest companies are cutting R&D costs by 50% by acting like startups. The secret? Venture Builders.

Most franchises don’t fail because of bad products. They fail because scaling operations, training & consistency is a nightmare. The franchises growing 10X faster aren’t working harder—they’re using SaaS automation.
