The Journey So Far

Whether you’ve been part of MicroConf for years or just joined our crew of Misfits, one goal unites us: helping you build and scale your SaaS company. From our humble start as a 100-person event in Las Vegas to impacting over 100,000 bootstrap founders worldwide, MicroConf has ignited a community-driven movement.

Community Growth and Learning Initiatives

MicroConf constantly evolves its offerings to serve the global SaaS community. In 2024, we’re rolling out several new and revamped programs to deepen learning, foster collaboration, and amplify your entrepreneurial confidence.

MicroConf Connect 2.0

We’ve reopened applications for MicroConf Connect, our virtual hallway track and interactive community platform. After pausing new sign-ups to incorporate your feedback, we’re launching three membership tiers designed to fit diverse needs. Members can join weekly co-working sessions, access exclusive discounts from beloved SaaS tools, and explore a searchable content library filled with workshops and tutorials. With a waitlist already 1,500 strong, don’t miss your chance to plug into this dynamic online space.

A Revamped State of Independent SaaS Report

Curious how your metrics stack up against peers? The State of Independent SaaS Report is back in partnership with Demand Maven. This year’s survey reflects shifts driven by remote work trends, no-code platforms, and AI innovations. More than 2,000 founders have contributed insights so far; add your perspective to help establish benchmarks and guide strategic decisions across our bootstrap SaaS ecosystem. [verify]

From Idea to Traction Course

Introducing our debut video course, “From Idea to Traction.” Designed for first-time founders, pivoters, and serial entrepreneurs alike, this self-paced program walks you through idea generation, validation techniques, and early traction strategies. Whether you’re embarking on a brand-new SaaS venture or refining an existing concept, you’ll gain actionable frameworks to move your startup toward escape velocity and sustainable growth.

Mastermind Matching & Resource Library

Our Mastermind matching service pairs you with 3–5 peers at similar growth stages, creating intimate accountability groups that meet regularly. You’ll also gain unlimited access to our on-demand resource library, which includes recorded sessions from past flagship events, strategy playbooks on pricing and churn reduction, and a podcast archive featuring expert interviews on scaling SaaS products.

Expanding In-person and Remote Experiences

Our events portfolio continues to grow, offering both local and global opportunities for face-to-face networking, team development, and focused retreats.

Bring MicroConf Local to Your City

Ever wished MicroConf would visit your hometown? Now it can happen. We’re empowering you to vote on the next MicroConf Local in-person event location. Rally fellow entrepreneurs, cast your votes, and your city could be the next destination for this hands-on, community-driven gathering. With nearly 100,000 engaged founders in the network, every vote counts.

Team Sync by MicroConf

Remote teams and distributed startups need cohesion to thrive. Team Sync by MicroConf is an immersive retreat for SaaS teams of five or more. You’ll learn best practices for managing remote work from industry veterans, then break into guided strategy sessions while we handle logistics. This blend of professional development and team-building ensures stronger alignment and higher productivity.

MicroConf Platinum Events

For founders seeking intimate expert access, MicroConf Platinum Events deliver bespoke experiences with small groups of high achievers. Picture yourself poolside discussing exit strategies with 15 fellow founders or trekking to the Grand Canyon while sharpening enterprise sales skills. These curated retreats fuse unique environments with targeted business goals to elevate your leadership and strategic capabilities.

Annual Flagship Conferences and Remote Summits

We remain committed to our flagship gatherings: MicroConf US and MicroConf Europe. Additionally, MicroConf Remote will host two online conferences—early-stage SaaS marketing in the fall and SaaS sales in the spring. Alongside Mastermind matching, podcasts, and an extensive YouTube library, these events form the backbone of our global SaaS events calendar.

Partnerships and Scale Support

Beyond community and events, MicroConf offers services designed to connect and accelerate your startup’s growth.

Find Your Ideal Co-Founder

Every founder knows the right partnership can make or break a startup. That’s why we’re launching a data-driven co-founder matching service. By analyzing your skills, goals, and personality traits, we’ll introduce you to complementary partners who can help turn ideas into thriving SaaS businesses and share the highs and lows of the journey.
