How I Built It: $23K/month micro-saas

Andy Cloak built Data Fetcher, an Airtable extension that generates $23K monthly recurring revenue with 600 customers. He shares his six-step framework for finding profitable platform opportunities: identify growing platforms, find pain points, borrow proven patterns from established platforms, check integration capabilities, calculate market size, and assess platform risk. The business maintains 85% margins with $3,650 monthly costs, primarily hosting and SaaS tools. Key lessons include focusing on one project instead of chasing new ideas and conducting regular user testing to identify UX improvements.
