Call for Speakers, SaaS Development Risks & Scaling to 8M Users
Before we dive in, we're on the hunt for more thought-provoking speakers to speak at our local, virtual, and larger events.
This is an opportunity to share your insights, experiences, and strategies with a vibrant community of your peers.
In addition, it is no secret that the MicroConf community is mostly men. We're specifically looking for talks from diverse and underrepresented founders that offer fresh perspectives, provide actionable takeaways, and/or talk about a key lesson learned.

⭐️ This edition of The Micro is brought to you by Quiet Light Brokerage . . .
Quiet Light Brokerage is an entrepreneur-led organization that assists people with growing, buying, and selling online businesses. Through relentless honesty, a refined process, and a "serve first" approach, Quiet Light has built a strong network of like-minded entrepreneurs. Founded in 2007 and built on relationships, the more conversations we have and more people we help, the more our goals and our client's goals are achieved.

Each of our entrepreneurs-turned-Advisors have real-life experience in the e-commerce, SaaS and content world. Each represents their own listings from beginning to end, and works with the entire team behind the scenes to share and benefit from each other's experiences. We would love the chance to talk to you about your goals for your business and offer a free valuation, regardless of your intention to sell.
