Micro SaaS vs full SaaS

Micro SaaS is one feature, one audience, often one founder. Full SaaS adds teams, integrations and sales. The strongest saas business idea usually starts micro: a saas idea earning a few hundred a month proves people will pay, which is the only signal that matters before you expand. Saas startup ideas with funding chase bigger markets; software as a service ideas born in a spare room chase narrower ones. Both can work. The software as a service business ideas that survive tend to pick one customer type and obsess over it.
