© 2022 SaaS Camp
The Problem
All founders get stuck
And yet, you know names like Netflix, Convertkit, and DropBox.
How did they come out on top?
Scaling a successful SaaS is impossible without finding a Product Market Fit. Every week there's another startup with $2M in the bank that announces that it's over. Reason? "We didn't understand who's our customer." The goal of SaaS Camp is to make sure you never end up in this weird situation. Here you will learn skills for scaling a profitable SaaS company and get help wtih finding Product Market Fit.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
How will we go through modules?
Each week we will have 1 session. We spend 50% learning new skills and the other 50% half of the call goes to applying this knowledge to your startup. I am available for you over chat every day from the first day we partner.
Apart from weekly session, I will be available for an emergency call any day of the week. This means if you want to calm down and there's unclear thing with a new user - I get with you on a call the same day.
I'll be available over chat Monday to Friday 11 am - 6 pm UK time.

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.

If you answered no to any of these questions, SaaS Camp has been tailored exactly for you.
What you will and won't do?
It's in my best interest to get your SaaS to MRR milestone as fast as possible, because I receive other 50% once I exceed the 10x expected value. That's why I will be helping you with everything there is on the marketing, sales, UX and growth side.
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.

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.
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 and that's why Square One Digital UK Venture Studio welcomed me as their Team Leader.
All my startups 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 above $3K?
In case you are above $3K mark - reach out to me at hey@denisshatalin.com and we'll brainstorm how to partner up. I regularly coach Seed / A-Series stage founders and build growth strategies even for $500K ARR products.
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?
Both 12K and 36K programs cost below 10% of the product's acquisition value you'll get by the end.

Each week we will have 1 session. We spend 50% learning new skills and other 50% half of the call goes to applying this knowledge to your startup. I am available for you over chat every day from the first day we partner.

It's in my best interest to get your SaaS to MRR milestone as fast as possible, because I'm not keen to be your free business development manager for years. That's why I will be helping you with everything there is on the marketing, sales, UX and growth side.
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.

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. 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 and that's why Square One Digital UK Venture Studio welcomed me as their Team Leader.
All my startups 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 above $3K?
In case you are above $3K mark - reach out to me at hey@denisshatalin.com and we'll brainstorm how to partner up. I regularly coach Seed / A-Series stage founders and build growth strategies even for $500K ARR products.
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.
