Hey there,

Today’s story is about Unicorn Platform, a landing page builder that makes ~$10K/month.

It wasn’t made by a big team.

There was not even a funding round and not even a fancy launch.

Just one solo founder Alexander Isora, building from a small town in Siberia.

Where it started?

Alexander was a developer who noticed something:

SaaS founders were wasting days building landing pages… instead of focusing on their core product.

He thought what if there was a super-simple way for SaaS makers to launch their pages fast?

No coding or headache.

Just pick a template → tweak → go live.

So he built Unicorn Platform.

How he got his first users?

He didn’t run ads.

He didn’t have an audience.

Instead, he:

→ Hung out in startup forums and Indie Hackers

→ Shared his progress openly (“Hey, I’m building this thing, what do you think?”)

→ Got early feedback from real founders

By the time he launched on Product Hunt, he already had a small crowd waiting for it.

The growth approach

He didn’t try to do everything.

Just one clear promise: a landing page builder for SaaS startups.

That focus made it easy to market.

He also built in public, showing revenue numbers, product updates, even mistakes.

People trusted him because he was real.

Slowly… $100/month → $500 → $1,000 → $10,000/month.

Why this worked?

Niche focus. He didn’t try to compete with Wix or Squarespace. He targeted SaaS founders specifically.

Simple solution. He solved a boring but painful problem fast.

Community-driven marketing. Just genuine conversations and building in public.

Takeaway for you

You don’t need a big team.

You don’t need funding.

You don’t even need a “revolutionary” idea.

You just need a real problem, a focused solution, and the patience to talk to your users.

That’s it for this story.

Keep learning, keep building because even the smallest idea can turn into something big.

Talk soon,
