How this founder achieved 500% ROI with Next.js SaaS toolkit
Hey everyone.
Last weekend, I spent time with my team. We discussed our recent launch and plans, walked in the park, visited an art gallery, and relaxed in the bookshop. I loved it. We had great, quality time together.
This week we dedicated to bug fixes and minor improvements so everyone on Microns can enjoy new experience. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback and reported bugs.
Also, today is the last day you can get one free transfer request if you become our Premium member. In a few months, we’ll do some tweaks in pricing making two separate plans for bigger and smaller startups. So, it’s your chance to secure the best price before this update.

🎉 Recently sold startup
We sold a SaaS development starter kit project called Indiespace. It helped founders set up and launch SaaS projects in a matter of days.
During the exit, Indiespace had 21 customers and $1,064 in annual revenue. It was built using Next.js. The project was sold for $2,000 (1.88x multiplier). The sale included various landing pages, waitlist pages, and SaaS boilerplate.
After the acquisition, the buyer made many improvements to achieve an insane ROI. He rebranded the project to BoilerBay, added new features that customers asked for, added new AI templates, and, most importantly, increased prices.
The startup crossed $7,000 in revenue in two months, a 558% increase in revenue. Still, the new owner can resell the project for at least $10k, making $17k in total from the $2k acquisition spent.
If you have a profitable startup, feel free to submit it, and we'll find you a buyer.
