Discover hundreds of high-quality software ideas.

We analyze tens of thousands of companies, finding niches where bootstrappers can compete & win.

How it works

Find your next business opportunity

We do the boring work

Analyzing thousands of companies and identifying market opportunities is slow, tedious work. Get the "best-of" sent directly to you, and go from there.

Get outside of your niches

Every bootstrapper is playing the same niches. Find opportunities you've never even thought of, that we've discovered by slogging through P&L charts.

Real analysis

Every statement in each Issue is referenced, back-checked, and verified before publication. These aren't random business ideas - it's research-backed market analysis.

Unlock a reliable source for high-quality business ideas for you to run with.
Holy cow. That’s some deep work you’re sharing.

How it works in detail

01

WE ANALYZE OUR DATA OF OVER 100,000 STARTUPS

We pay for access to the best data on public, venture-backed, and private companies available, as well as utilize independent analyst research, to identify profitable markets.

02

WE FIND NICHES WHERE BOOT-STRAPPERS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE

Bootstrapped, profitable companies have the unique advantage of being able to thrive in small niches, when a VC-backed company must move upmarket in order to satisfy investors. We look for niches that aren't satisfied with the incumbent offering.

03

WE GIVE YOU ACCESS TO OUR PRIVATE DATABASE

Access our database over 250+ software opportunities, each of which contains:

  • Detailed information on competitors, market size, and competition
  • Analysis of the various niches and pain points in each market
  • Key features for your MVP
  • Insights into the trends of each software category

WHY SHOULD I NOT SIGN UP? YOU SHOULDN'T SIGN UP IF YOU:

  1. Believe that you can only be successful if you come up with the idea. We believe that competition is good for validating a market, and downmarket give bootstrappers a unique opportunity to compete - and win - against bigger, funded companies.

  2. Care about credentials. I'm a bootstrapper - just like you. I offer a free premium article to show that the quality of the newsletter speaks for itself.
