Micro SaaS & Tools
Small tools win because they’re focused. One clear problem, one clear user, one clear outcome. Start simple, validate quickly, and iterate.

Pre-sell, collect emails, or run outreach before you build. Validation beats guessing.
Read validation guide →3) Ship the minimum useful tool
Build the smallest version that delivers the outcome. Add features only after usage.
