Validated Business Idea
The simple, mobile-first business toolkit for solo tradespeople.
SaaS subscription: $29/month (Standard) for scheduling and invoicing; $49/month (Growth) includes automated SMS reminders and review collection. 90% margins on infrastructure.
Pricing Tiers
Margins: No server costs until >500 active users. Hosting on Render ~$5–15/mo. Gross margins 85%+ once customer base grows.
Solo owner-operators in home services (handymen, cleaners, mobile detailers) currently using paper or generic apps; need to reduce 'admin ghosting' and improve cash flow.
Week 1-2: Build landing page with waitlist; conduct 10 'pain-point' interviews with local contractors. Week 3-6: Develop MVP using No-Code (Bubble) or Next.js focusing on 1-click invoicing and SMS scheduling. Week 7-9: Onboard 5 beta users for free; iterate daily based on field feedback. Week 10-12: Public launch via targeted Meta ads and direct outreach in local 'Contractor' Facebook groups.
