Business Idea:
A hybrid agency model combining client consulting and micro SaaS development to solve real-world problems quickly, funding product innovation while delivering tailored solutions for local businesses and niches.
Problem:
Founders and small businesses struggle with limited resources, balancing client work and product development, and often face pain points that are hard to address with big, slow solutions or pre-engineered tools.
Solution:
A flexible, lean agency that takes on consulting projects to generate cash flow, while building micro SaaS products directly from client pain points, enabling rapid iteration and market fit.
Target Audience:
Small-to-medium local businesses, startups, and niche markets (e.g., venues, restaurants, fleet managers, eSports organizers) seeking tailored digital tools to streamline operations.
Monetization:
Revenue from consulting gigs, subscription fees or usage charges for SaaS products, and potential premium features or customization services.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Combines client consulting with product creation, allowing rapid validation, immediate revenue, and continuous iteration based on real client needs—efficiently blending services and products in one ecosystem.
Launch Strategy:
Start by offering consulting to identify pain points, then develop small SaaS prototypes for interested clients. Test product-market fit with minimal viable products, and iterate rapidly based on user feedback.
