MicroConf is leveling up!
Whether you're a long-time supporter or a new member of our rebel crew, you know we're all about empowering bootstrapped SaaS entrepreneurs.
From our Vegas conference roots to the 2020 launch of MicroConf Connect, right through to going global with MicroConf Locals and MicroConf Remote, we've been fueling a no-permission-needed movement that's gripped entrepreneurs worldwide. Buckle up—our next big leap is coming, and you won't want to miss it.
#1: MicroConf Connect 2.0: Electric Boogaloo
After 6 months, we are re-opening applications to MicroConf Connect to the public, with three new membership tiers that unlock an amazing set of features at every level. Join over 5,500 bootstrapped SaaS founders and learn why the MicroConf Hallway Track is second to none.
Applications Open September 19, 2023.
#2: The Return of the State of Independent SaaS
If you didn’t know, we’ve been producing the most comprehensive benchmark report for Bootstrapped SaaS founders for a few years now, but we took a break this past year and have reworked our process to make the State of Independent SaaS a report that SaaS founders cannot miss.
This year, we’re partnering with the team at Demand Maven, our go-to partners in helping SaaS founders identify their best opportunities to grow their blossoming businesses, to help analyze the data and get you the answers you need.
The Survey launches in mid-October.
#3: MicroConf Local: The People’s Choice
We're giving you the power to bring a MicroConf Local in-person event to your city.
Until now, we've picked locations based on our reach and the cities with the highest concentration of misfits in our database. In 2024, you get to decide!
We will run a community voting campaign to help choose which cities we visit next. With almost 100,000 entrepreneurs globally engaged with MicroConf, your city's shot at hosting the next MicroConf Local means you’ll need to rally founders in your community to get the most votes.
Voting begins in November 2023.
#4: For the newbies - Starting Up: From Idea to Traction course
Introducing our debut course, "Starting Up: From Idea to Traction," designed to kickstart your entrepreneurial journey.
We know many of you are stuck in startup limbo—full of ideas but unsure how to get started. This video course tackles exactly that, guiding you through idea generation, validation, and finding early traction. Whether you're a first-timer, a pivoter, or a serial entrepreneur, this course aims to help you take your next SaaS venture to escape velocity.
Shipping early 2024.
#5: We’ll help you find your partner in crime with co-founder matching
Almost every day, we hear from founders looking for advice on how to find a co-founder. Finding the right partner in crime can be a make-or-break moment for your startup.
Whether you're a tech wizard with zero marketing chops or a sales pro looking for someone to build the product, we will help you find someone that compliments your skill set, goals, and personality. Drawing on years of experience observing co-founder hits and misses, we're designing a data-driven matching service to help you find your ideal co-founder.
Coming Spring 2024.
#6: TeamSync by Microconf: The Ultimate Remote Team retreat
Part retreat, part conference, centered around helping you and your team operate at peak performance. This new conference will be focused on empowering you and your remote team with the resources you need to make the most out of your time together.
We’re inviting some of the brightest minds in remote team operations to give you the lowdown on optimizing your teams’ operations, communications, and outputs so that time and distance are never obstacles to your team’s success. You bring your team; we’ll handle the logistics.
Syncing up in Summer 2024.
#7: MicroConf platinum events
Imagine getting advice about selling your company while lounging in a cabana in the Maldives with fifteen other 7- and 8-figure founders looking to sell their business in the next 12 months.
Or brainstorming a major partnership initiative during a trek to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Maybe it’s time to take on that incumbent, VC-backed startup, for a bigger slice of the pie, and connecting with 10 founders with the same roadmap on an African Safari will help you go from "want to" to "have to."
We're rolling out small, curated experiences that combine unique settings with laser-focused business goals to help accelerate you toward accomplishments at breakneck speed. Meet like-minded, high-achieving founders and experts ready to elevate your game. These exclusive, invite-only experiences are not for the faint of heart. If you need a shock to your system that will help you achieve that major 2024 goal - our Platinum Event Series might be what you’re looking for.
Our first Platinum Event will be "The Exit Event" for founders looking to achieve a 10-figure exit in the next 12 months.
Whew. We’ve got a busy year ahead, and we cannot wait for you to join the ride.
If any of these projects are up your alley, we'd love to know! You can use this link to sign up for notifications for any new projects you're most interested in. We'll reach out with some questions as well, giving us a chance to understand better your goals and how we can craft these experiences to serve you best.
🚀 Onward!
