Learnings from an Indie Hacker: Building Micro & Digital Products and Getting Them Acquired
A lot of today’s successful internet companies started as small micro and digital products solving one simple problem.
• Notion started as a simple productivity tool
• Gumroad started as a way to sell digital products easily
• Product Hunt began as an email list
• ConvertKit started as an email tool for creators
• Carrd began as a simple one-page website builder
• Buffer started with just a landing page to validate demand
Most great internet businesses don’t start big.
They start with one useful product, one niche audience, and consistent iteration.
We’re hosting a session with Karthik Tatikonda, an indie hacker who has built and exited products like Drotion and Launchpedia 🚀
A practical session for builders, indie hackers, and AI founders who want to go from “just shipping projects” to building products people actually discover, use, and pay for.
What we’ll cover:
• How to figure out ideas worth building on
• Lessons from cracking marketing and distribution
• How to sell your digital and AI products
• What actually matters while building micro SaaS products today
• Mistakes, learnings, and behind-the-scenes stories from building on the internet
This session is specifically for:
• AI builders shipping side projects
• Indie hackers building digital products
• Designers and developers experimenting with AI tools
• People trying to build their first profitable micro SaaS
• Builders stuck in the “shipping but not growing” phase
• Anyone curious about turning small ideas into real internet businesses
If you’re building AI products, experimenting with micro SaaS, or trying to become an internet-native founder, this one’s for you ✨
