The Micro-SaaS Builder's Guide

Build and Bootstrap a Real Software Business - Without Venture Capital

Most micro-SaaS books stop at strategy. This one goes further: alongside the full bootstrapping arc - finding a validated idea, scoping an MVP, pricing it, launching, and keeping customers - this guide includes a dedicated, concrete chapter on using current AI coding assistants to actually build your product, faster than a solo founder could have a few years ago.

What's inside:

• An honest look at real micro-SaaS revenue data - not survivorship-bias success stories - so you can set realistic expectations from page one
• A repeatable idea-validation process using cheap landing-page tests, pre-sales, and non-leading customer conversations
• A dedicated chapter on building with current AI coding assistants, including what they actually accelerate, what still needs a human, and a pre-launch code-review checklist
• Practical frameworks for MVP scoping, pricing, launch sequencing, retention, and distribution on a solo founder's limited time budget
• A closing framework for deciding whether to grow, automate, or exit - built around your own definition of enough, not a generic growth narrative

Every chapter closes with a concrete, actionable worksheet or checklist. This is not a book of abstract advice - it's a working process for building a real, sustainable software business as a solo founder.
