Why I started this newsletter?

Hello hello! 👋 

I’m Rahil—proud 90s kid, strategy game junkie, and your friendly neighbourhood indie hacker dad of three (under 10—send coffee ☕️). From the Windows logo era to today’s AI gold rush, I’m all about building cool things for the web with a lean-and-mean mindset.

Since 2008, I’ve been crafting enterprise-grade software products, and in 2020, I fell head over heels for Micro SaaS. Lately, my obsession has shifted to AI agents—tools so niche-focused and low-maintenance, they’re practically magic. 🪄 

Why Micro-SaaS and AI Agents?

Vertical AI agents > SaaS by 10X. 🚀

Vertical AI agents & Micro-SaaS will outshine traditional SaaS 10X over, unlocking massive potential for solo creators and tiny teams.

As a Founder, builder, or dreamer: this is your once in life time opportunity to build Micro SaaS & AI Agents, find users, and scale fast. With real-world wins like growing Thriftify to $60K MRR, this newsletter is your step-by-step playbook to success!"

### 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 2 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

Next up is PDRGPT, a AI Copilot I’m also aiming to scale to $6 figure 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 Micro SaaS and AI Agents together! 🌟
