Micro-CRM for one specific profession
A dead-simple CRM built for one niche — tattoo artists, photographers, coaches — pick one and own it.
The problem
Solo professionals lose leads, forget follow-ups, and juggle too many generic tools.
The solution
A super-simple, niche-specific micro-CRM that manages leads, bookings, follow-ups, and payments in one place.
Who it's for
Solo pros — tattoo artists, photographers, coaches, trainers — running the whole show themselves.

- 3Booking + invoicesCalendar sync and payments built into the same flow.
First-week milestone
Pick ONE niche (e.g. tattoo artists). Ship lead inbox + manual booking + invoice export. Stripe and auto-follow-ups come once 5 people are paying.
Distribution playbook
- Spend a week in the niche's subreddit and Facebook groups before writing a line of code.
- Cold-email 50 people in the niche with a Loom demo — first 10 customers come from this.
- Sponsor the one industry newsletter or podcast everyone in the niche reads.
Guardrails & risks
- Pick the niche before you build. A 'CRM for solo pros' fails; a CRM for tattoo artists wins.
- Don't ship calendar sync until you've handled timezone bugs — it's the #1 churn driver.
- Stripe Connect onboarding takes longer than the rest of the app combined. Plan for it.
Validation signal
Five paying customers in 30 days. If you can't get there in one niche, switching niches won't help — the product is wrong.
Huge Potential
Niche down hard, charge real money, own a category.
