You want to shift to SaaS
You run a successful business in another field, and SaaS products seem appealing due to their retainer model or scalability. You're unsure where to start or how to avoid beginner mistakes.
Your SaaS is challenged
You've built an early-stage product, but you're facing challenges — whether in development, marketing, sales, or all of the above and need qualified advice.
Preparing for financing
Your SaaS has skyrocketed (congrats!), but along the way, you haven’t built many connections in the investment world. Now you’re looking for guidance on those first steps.
Meet the founder
Nikita Makukhin
Over the past five years, we’ve focused on building our SaaS, Onepage, which has gained significant traction in the DACH region. Today, over 10,000 companies use and, most importantly, love our software.
Onepage is a bootstrapped success story — arguably one of the most challenging paths. Along the way, we’ve encountered and learned from nearly every possible mistake, whether through our own experiences or by engaging directly with fellow tech entrepreneurs.
Through countless one-on-one conversations and speaking at various events, we’ve gained invaluable insights into the common pitfalls companies face.
In addition to our bootstrapping journey, we’ve actively engaged with the investment community, staying connected and receiving multiple offers from both venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms. Notably, we’ve had discussions with investors such as HG Capital or Sequoia Ventures
