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.

Recommended stack

Suggested

Classic CRUD SaaS — Lovable's sweet spot. AI Gateway drafts lead summaries and follow-ups without a vendor key. Stripe for payments.

Feature ideas

  1. 1
    Lead inbox + pipeline
    One view of every prospect and where they stand.
  2. 2
    Auto follow-ups
    Smart reminders that nudge cold leads back to warm.
  3. 3
    Booking + invoices
    Calendar 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.
