I Grew My SaaS From $17K to $143K MRR in 4 Months

Starter Story

Summary

Neville, founder of Posties, reveals how his SaaS escalated from $17K to $143K MRR in just four months. This rapid growth stemmed from pivoting Posties into an "agentic" social media scheduling tool, which leverages AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT. A key driver was a viral article on X (formerly Twitter) about Posties' agentic capabilities, generating millions of views and trials. Neville emphasizes that founders should make their APIs agent-ready, proactively build for future trends, prioritize product reliability, and aggressively pursue marketing opportunities. He also highlights that agentic tools can significantly reduce customer churn by automating tasks.
