Private Community for SaaS Founders
The SaaS founders who figure it out faster aren't smarter. They have better people around them.
MicroConf Connect is a vetted private community for bootstrapped SaaS founders. Get frank advice, real accountability, and peer relationships that actually move your business forward.
300+ bootstrapped founders. Pre-revenue to $10M ARR. Vetted, pitch-free, vested-interest-free.
Sound familiar?
“I asked in a public forum and got generic advice from people who've never shipped anything.”
“I've read the books. I've done the courses. I'm still guessing.”
“I have one peer I can be honest with. I need more than one.”
“My best decisions came from a conversation. My worst came from going it alone.”
“The information I actually need is in someone else's head — not published anywhere.”
“I'm successful enough that most advice doesn't apply. Not successful enough to stop needing it.”
“I don't know if my pricing is wrong or if my product is wrong.”
“I can't ask this question publicly without signaling weakness to my competitors or customers.”
This is exactly why MicroConf Connect exists.
Who Joins
Built for people doing the work.
Active Founders with a SaaS
Building a B2B SaaS, at any revenue stage from pre-launch to scaling. You want peers who understand the specific constraints and opportunities of building without outside funding.
Aspiring Founders with a Real Plan
Employed but seriously working toward launching your own SaaS. You have a problem you're solving, a target customer in mind, and you're ready to do the work.
Verified Partner Members
A small number of vetted service providers — lawyers, fractional CFOs, SaaS-specialist consultants — who are here to contribute expertise. Clearly designated and held to a strict no-pitch standard.

What founders say:
“I posted a pricing question on a Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday morning I had six detailed responses from founders who had been through exactly the same decision. I raised prices the following week. Best ROI of any tool in my stack.”
Marcus T.
Founder, SaaS tool for agencies ● $18k MRR
“The Ask Rob Anything sessions alone are worth the membership. I've been following Rob's work for five years — getting to ask him about my specific situation is something I couldn't get anywhere else.”
Daniel W.
Founder, Dev tools SaaS ● $4k MRR
“I was nervous joining as someone who hasn't launched yet. Within two weeks I'd had three conversations with founders who'd built in my exact niche. The bar for getting real help here is remarkably low.”
Priya S.
Pre-launch, B2B SaaS
From Rob Walling
I've spent 15 years watching bootstrapped founders make the same expensive mistakes — not because they weren't smart enough, but because they were making decisions alone.
The information that would have saved them wasn't in a book. It was in a room. Specifically, a room full of founders who'd already been through it.
MicroConf started as a conference because I wanted to create that room. Connect exists because you shouldn't have to wait for a conference to get into it.
Every member in here has real skin in the game. Founders first, alongside a small number of trusted investors and operators who are here to contribute, not pitch. Just people building, and better together than apart.
