@starterstory: I sat down with Domenico the guy who flipped 6 micro-SaaS apps while working a 9-to-5, then sold his 7th for over $1M. At first he gave himself one rule: build, validate, and sell a new app every 30 days. Pitch 2.0 (a pitch deck generator) → $300 in revenue, sold for $2,500. OneTap.ai (an Excel formula generator) → $7K in revenue, sold for $25K. yourcoverletter.com → sold for $7K in 40 days. recapitogpt.com (AI summarizer) → sold for $34K. tweetsbot.io → sold for $5K. AIwebdesigner.io → sold for $12K. Then came Softgen.ai - one of the first AI web coding apps. He grew it from $20K ARR to $500K ARR in 3 months and sold it for nearly 3x ARR. Over $1M exit. His playbook is dead simple: 1. Set the sell timeline up front 2. Validate with a yep.so landing page (15% conversion = green light) 3. Build one feature, ship to email list, loop on feedback 4. Grow with build-in-public on X 5. Package the asset (ARR, margins, LTV, CAC) and sell The wildest part? He did the first 6 while still clocking into a day job, using Pomodoro intervals to stay sane. His advice for young founders: when life punches you in the face, switch perspective. He got a job offer rescinded in 2024 that’s the week he went all-in on Softgen.
