Challenge 1
Users aren't paying
for your product
Users aren't paying
for your product
Everyone likes it, no one buys it. You get these random sign-ups from time to time, they open your product and then you never hear from them again. Of course you try to connect with them, but give up after getting no response. You have no feedback to work with and remain clueless about what to do next.
Challenge 2
You don't have consistent acquisition channels
You don't have consistent acquisition channels
You posted your SaaS on Indie Hackers, post about it on Twitter, gave a big pitch on Reddit and warming up your socials for the Product Hunt launch. All these platforms haven't brought you piles of cash. 90% of time there are just few sign ups from each channel, which convert into 0 long-term paying users. Spoiler: securing Product of the Day doesn't fix it either.
Challenge 3
People aren't responding to your messages
People aren't responding to your messages
You keep experimenting with outreach strategies, but prospects are ghosting you. After you give up inviting them to the call - you ask them to try your product. That's usually when your conversation ends.
Challenge 4
No desire to become a full-time writer
No desire to become a full-time writer
It takes 4-6 months to start seeing results with SEO. You aren't ready to throw away 6 months writing with unclear picture of your real customers. You wanna be a SaaS founder, not a blogger. You'd rather land first 20 sales relying on a quick, simple, repeatable system.

I'm Denis, and I've been exactly where you are
Every obstacle with a SaaS - you name it - I’ve crossed paths with it. From having 0 replies to my outreach messages to not getting people into a free product. I've been there. I’ve felt stuck, too. But throughout all of these challenges, there’s one thing I’ve learned that can prevent all of it from happening to you. One secret to growing your SaaS with as few bumps as possible. It’s the one thing I credit success of my partners to, and I’m eager to share it with you.

The secret
Niche down
Going from where you are now to where you want to be is as simple as narrowing down your customer profile.
Imagine seeing new purchase notifications every day you wake up. Or consistently reading great reviews about your product without having to push people into it. Getting new signups from referrals and automatically coverting into a paid plan. And hitting revenue metrics you only thought possible in 3 years just in 6 months. All of this is possible as you niche down and create the best solution for a clear market.

1. Find ideal customers
You want to sell your product to the right people, at the right place, at the right time. This is when you can charge them the highest price and build a SaaS company with sustainable cashflow.
2. Nail market positioning
There's nothing more painful, more soul-crushing than having to chase free users, only to watch them sign up and never use the product. You want to make sure you build systems for attracting right inbound traffic, so with each user you convert you make it easier to convert the next one.
3. Grow in the right way
9/10 SaaS startups never scale because they build the wrong stuff. That's why attracting paying users at the early stage is so crucial. Once they pay $39+ for your product every month, you minimize the risk of adding wrong features. It's tough to fail a startup with 5% churn and 90% of users being customers.

Denis is helping me find respondents for my B2B interviews and I'm doing better every week. Reaching out to my audience felt like an uphill battle.

Invest in it. The concepts, strategies, and insights you will learn require you to show up and put in the work.
I can’t guarantee overnight success (but let’s be real—that doesn’t happen for anyone). What I can promise you is that your investment in SaaS Camp will save you more time, money, and effort in the long run. The material we will cover in each module took me years of bumpy roads, sleepless nights, and financial flops to learn. This is what I want you to avoid.
You can’t pay someone to do your pushups for you, but a good coach will keep you from getting hurt. If you’re ready to take your SaaS to the next level, it’s time to commit.

Here startups get paying users. Fast.
Petsandjoys.com team have been working hard on their startup for more than a year. For 14 months their free users were dragging them in all ways. When they joined the program we realized we should throw away 85% of the features and double down on what has highest chance to bring revenue: telemedicine for pet owners. In 4 weeks since our first meeting, the founders closed 4 B2B sales with veterinarian clinics.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. And there is even more than one. First, if you're not overwhelmed by the value in the first 7 days - I send you a full refund. Second, if you don't find more paying users in 90 days you get support for free until you do.
Is this program right for my SaaS?
Best time to apply is when you have a working MVP and want to fast-track your journey to $3K MRR with someone who regularly gets SaaS products to traction.
Do you have consistent user acquisition channels? Do you convert 4/10 users into customers? Do you have a clear growth roadmap? Do users return to your product 4 times a month? Does your SaaS generate more than $3K MRR?
If you answered no to any of these questions, SaaS Camp has been tailored exactly for you.

What you will and won't do?
I will be helping you with everything there is on the marketing, sales, UX and growth side but will not sell or code for you. Otherwise, you won't learn anything.
You will send messages, run calls and build features. My job will be to make sure you're doing it the most effective way and do it with you when it's tough.
I will help you find places where to look for potential users, craft the cold message and call structure, equip you with best time-saving tools, help you create your landing page copy and give product feedback.

I will help you find places where to look for potential users, craft the cold message and call structure, equip you with best time-saving tools, help you create your landing page copy and give product feedback.
What's your background?
I worked at Big 4 but left the corporate world to launch exciting projects. Since then, I started 6 businesses. 3 ecoms, 2 apps, 1 SaaS. 2 of them made money. I repeated my success with the first person who got into the program: $1K MRR in 3 months from 0 users and 0 dollars. It was the 1st SaaS for the founder and he never worked more than 20h/week.
All this makes me confident about scaling your product, and being ready to become your free employee if you're under $3K MRR in 6 months.
How is this different from free content?
How much do you value something that’s free? How do you know if what you’re consuming online is what your business really needs to crush the goals you’ve set? How often do you take massive action because of a YouTube video? Because there’s a big difference between watching my content and having me hold you accountable for actually making progress and receiving weekly coaching around your particular needs.
And if you think my free content’s good, just you wait until you experience what’s behind the paid wall of SaaS Camp.

Are you growing a SaaS yourself?
No, I put my entire energy to turn your startup into an incredible success story. I'm a professional venture builder. That's why Square One Digital UK Venture Studio welcomed me as their Team Leader.
All my startups are aimed at helping entrepreneurs get to their goals. My last SaaS was a service helping founders overcome challenges. It was a platform, guides and 1-1s with me. I asked users what's best about the product. They all said one-on-ones. I started solving burning problems and found my passion.

How much time and extra budget required?
You should be ready to spend at least 20h a week into your startup. 40 will be ideal. Campers cross 500 MRR in a few months while working on the product 20h a week.
You won't need extra budget, only to pay for the program fee! We bootstrap your SaaS using the revenue it generates. We may choose to reinvest in ads from month 2 if we feel it will bring great results.

Can I apply at $0 MRR?
Absolutely! We had numerous founders join without a clear picture of their customer and being at 0 active users. In all cases we nailed positioning and found first customers in weeks :)
Some applicants came in being at $1K, so unless you generate a steady $3K MRR in revenue - it makes great sense for you to join.

What if I'm at 20K MRR?
In case you are already making decent cash flow - it still makes sense to join. I regularly coach Seed / A-Series stage founders and build growth strategies even for $1M ARR products and find new revenue streams for them.
What if I can't code my product?
Program is best for solo technical founders who can code. There is a way how you can make it work as a non-technical founder: build your project in Bubble or pay somebody do it for you. Shoot me a message to hey@denisshatalin.com and I'll connect you with devs or give you best no-code tools for your case.
Pricing?
Entry fee costs 10 times less than the market value your SaaS will reach in 3 months.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. And there is even more than one. First, if you're not overwhelmed by the value in the first 7 days - I send you a full refund. Second, if you don't find more paying users in 90 days you get support for free until you do.

How much time and extra budget required?
You should be ready to spend at least 20h a week into your startup. 40 will be ideal. Campers cross 500 MRR in a few months while working on the product 20h a week.
You won't need extra budget, only to pay for the program fee! We bootstrap your SaaS using the revenue it generates. We may choose to reinvest in ads from month 2 if we feel it will bring great results.

Can I apply at $0 MRR?
Absolutely! We had numerous founders join without a clear picture of their customer and being at 0 active users. In all cases we nailed positioning and found first customers in weeks :)
Some applicants came in being at $1K, so unless you generate a steady $3K MRR in revenue - it makes great sense for you to join.

What if I'm at 3K MRR or more?
In case you are already making decent cash flow - it still makes sense to join. I regularly coach Seed / A-Series stage founders and build growth strategies even for $1M ARR products and find new revenue streams for them. There is a separate group for founders beyond $3K MRR.
What if I can't code my product?
Program is best for solo technical founders who can code. There is a way how you can make it work as a non-technical founder: build your project in Bubble or pay somebody do it for you. Shoot me a message to hey@denisshatalin.com and I'll connect you with devs or give you best no-code tools for your case.
