This guy started a $1M/year saas with $20

Hey — It’s Pat and happy Sunday!

For the last few months, we've had 100s of people join Starter Story Academy.

It's a program I designed to help you validate, build, and launch your idea – fast.

This guy just built this beautiful app in ONE WEEK inside the Academy:

Domain name ✓
Landing page ✓
Waitlist ✓

It's CRAZY how fast you can build with AI nowadays (and in the Academy we give you the exact steps you need to take)

This guy's story got me so excited that I decided to open a few more spots in our next Academy.

Enroll right here before I close the doors → join Starter Story Academy

Who knows? In 4 weeks, I might be sharing YOUR story with hundreds of thousand of people :)

Oh by the way… here’s what he said about Academy in his own words ↓

Today I'm sharing a few 6-7 figure businesses started in seemingly small niches.

(hint: even 'small' niches are bigger than you think)

Welcome to Sunday Breakfast!

1. The Orange Juice 🍊

$1M/year saas started with $20 🤯

This guy’s story is amazing because there are already tons of website builders, right?

But he found a super specific niche that needed a simper and easier way to build landing pages.

He built the MVP for literally $20 + plus his time

And today he makes almost $1M PER YEAR

This is a solopreneur dream story – read it HERE

2. The Coffee ☕

This $30K/month app is basically… apple notes?

Sometimes the best way to build a business is to take a proven product and make it 10% better.

People LOVE alternatives to ‘regular’ apps.

This dude felt like apple notes could be 10% better.

So he built a note-taking app.

And within ~1 year he grew it to $30K MRR

Doors Closing Soon: 5 Spots Left to Launch Your Business

We’ve had a ton of interest in our next Academy, and spots are almost gone.

I’m keeping this group small so I can give you my full attention, but I wanted to open up a few more spots for those ready to take action now.

Starter Story Academy is about one thing: helping you LAUNCH.

No more “thinking about it” or waiting for the “right time.” You’re ready to go!

In 5 weeks, you’ll validate, build, and launch your business idea—with my personal guidance at every step.

Even if you’re short on time or unsure of your idea, we’ll make sure you leave with a business you’re proud of.

What are you waiting for?

The last 5 spots are going fast—secure your place now before the doors close.

3. The Eggs 🍳

This $10K/month chrome extension helps you remember everything

So this guy was basically overwhelmed by the amount of content he consumed everyday.

He literally couldn’t remember anything (honestly, who can?)

So he built the MVP and posted it on Hacker News.

Literally 24 hours later that post blew up and investors were beginning to give him money 🤯

Read the whole story here!!

4. The Toast 🥪

This $600K/year app is just like all the other ones

So you’ve heard me say a bajillion times that there’s no such thing as “too saturated.”

Saturated === a proven market.

This guy built an app where there are probably 100s of competitors.

But he found a small niche of people who LOVED his product.

Today he makes $600K per year off it.

See exactly how he did it

5. The Pancakes 🥞

$2M/year organizing emails

One of the dumbest problems the modern worker faces is too many damn emails 😆

Think of how many messages you get per day… a lot right?

This guy saw that email in Microsoft Windows SUCKED (I remember those days!)

So he built a simple app to help organize it all

And now he makes $2M per year… amazing!!

Read this if you want to learn how to solve a real problem and build a $1M business

That's it!

I hope you have the best Sunday, and are getting ready for a great week ahead!
