What a founder can learn
Founder takeaway
Revisit narrow SaaS markets you previously dismissed as too small. A focused business can be worth pursuing if the target category now supports sustainable economics without requiring massive scale.
Why it matters
Founders often overlook viable opportunities by applying venture-scale market thresholds to every idea. Matching the business model and ambition to a smaller market can reveal defensible opportunities others ignore.
Put it to work
Choose one underserved niche and ask: What customer need, price point, and operating model would make a focused SaaS business sustainable at modest scale?
