Introduction Post
A little bit about me, and my hopes for this newsletter
Hey there 👋 - Rahil here!
Thanks again for showing interest in my newsletter.
Are you a founder, or even remotely interested in learning how to use AI automation and no code tools to not just build niche SaaS apps, but how to find users and— well you’ve come to the right place.
This newsletter is designed to be your ultimate playbook, filled with insights and step-by-step guides. With real-life examples, like how I spearheaded Thriftify to a substantial $50k MRR, you'll find everything you need to flourish.
### But Why Trust Me?
Here's the raw and unfiltered truth: At Thriftify, we initially burned through over $5M in funding in a quest to find that golden niche product. We hired a massive engineering team, poured funds into sales—but the traction wasn't there.
Then came the pivotal moment: we pivoted and embraced a bootstrapping, indie hacker approach. We transformed Thriftify into a niche micro-SaaS solution. We built the MVP in just four weeks, launched it, and started seeing revenue within the initial 10 weeks. It was a staggering revelation.
My journey through this pivot taught me invaluable lessons about every stage of SaaS app building—from ideation to design, development, distribution, and scaling. AI automation and No code tools have made app building democratised, so anyone with a idea can turn it into a reality. In spite of this, failure is still highly likely without proper distribution and marketing. To make it a hit, founders have to know every step of launching a SaaS
Thriftify started from $0 MRR. We scaled to $1k, then $10k, and we’re targeting $2M ARR by 2025. Next up is PostInLoop, a project I’m also aiming to scale to multi-million monthly recurring revenue—and guess what? I’ll share every bit of my journey with you.
### The Tools and Knowledge to Succeed
With the advent of revolutionary AI automation tools like V0, Cursor, and Replit, the barriers to becoming a founder are lower than ever. Yet, many struggle with knowing where to begin, when to start marketing, how to generate leads, and so much more. That's why I’ve packaged my proven systems for building and scaling micro-SaaS into an Operating System (OS). Through this newsletter, I’m committed to sharing this treasure trove of knowledge with you.
Welcome to the community, and let's build some profitable apps together! 🌟
