$29K MRR SaaS with THIS framework
Lukas Hermann is going to build a $100M year a business.. One day.
He has an amazing thread where he lays out the exact plan of how he’s going to do it.
Right now he is just crossed $29K MRR with his SaaS business.

Love his framework for picking business ideas - Scratch someone else’s itch.
Lukas is the co-founder of StageTimer.
It’s a simple solution to a painful problem. It helps event hosts run a remote-controlled timer for their presenters and speakers.

- Check out more details about StageTimer on it’s website.
- Listen to Lukas and his wife Liz’s story of building StageTimer and growing it to $8K MRR on the indie hackers podcast.
- Get inspired by this incredible thread where Lukas lays out his master plan of building a $100M business.
At the heart of his masterplan is a simple framework - “I want to scratch other people’s itch, not mine”
Simple yet powerful.
It’s okay to solve your own problems, but it’s way more important to solve other people’s problems. Keep that in mind next time you evaluate a new business idea.

Don’t ever ask this question to anyone
“Do you think this is a good idea?” is the worst question to ask a potential customer.
Only the market can tell if an idea is good or bad. Everything else is just opinion.
