Build Your First Profitable Micro SaaS From Scratch
Find the right idea, validate demand before you build, create the right first version, and get your first paying customers. Even if you don’t know what to build or where to start.
Built by a solo founder with $1M+ in software revenue · Trusted by 5,000+ students
You Can Build Software Faster Than Ever. But What Should You Build?
AI tools, no-code platforms, and modern frameworks can help you create software in days instead of months.
But they still cannot tell you:
- Which idea is worth pursuing
- Whether people care enough to pay
- What your first version should include
- How to explain your product clearly
- Where to find your first customers
That is where many builders get stuck. Some never begin because they do not know where to start. Others build too much before finding out whether anyone wants the product. The Academy gives you a clear path through both problems.
Stop Guessing Your Way Through It
- Start with an idea that sounds interesting
- Build every feature you can imagine
- Spend weeks or months developing
- Launch once
- Hope customers appear
- Add more features when they do not
- Start with a painful, focused problem
- Identify who experiences it
- Look for signs that the problem matters
- Build the smallest useful version
- Launch earlier
- Improve it using customer feedback
Find a stronger idea. Test whether people care. Build only what they need first.

Learn From a Founder Who Still Builds and Runs Software Products
I’m Jamie Tam. I started building my first Micro SaaS at the end of 2019.
At first, I treated it as a project that might help me get another job.
Instead, it started growing.
I had to learn how to attract customers, improve the product, provide support, reduce churn, price software, and run the business without a large team.
Since then, I have built and operated products across Shopify, SaaS, and iOS, generating more than $1 million in software revenue.
I created the Academy to turn those lessons into a clear starting point for other builders.
The training comes from real product decisions, customer conversations, launches, experiments, mistakes, and years of operating software businesses.
The Academy cannot guarantee that your product will succeed.
But it can help you avoid common mistakes, make better decisions, and understand what it takes to move from an idea to a real product with paying customers.

“I cannot recommend this course highly enough. It is meticulously structured, with each lesson having a clearly defined scope. It’s not just about coding; it’s about understanding the entire ecosystem of building a Micro SaaS business. An invaluable resource.”Lucas Miranda
