Micro-SaaS

A small, focused software-as-a-service product built by a solo founder or tiny team, targeting a specific niche problem and generating sustainable revenue without venture funding.

Micro-SaaS businesses can be built part-time, require no investment, and generate £5,000-£50,000+ MRR with a small user base. They are increasingly popular as an alternative to the VC-funded startup path.

A developer builds a £9/month tool that automatically formats Notion exports for publishing. 500 subscribers = £4,500 MRR, built solo, no team, no funding.
