If you’ve ever said:
“I have too many ideas and no time to finish them.”
You’re not alone.
That was me—until I stumbled into a system I now call MVP Stacking:
A method to launch tiny profitable SaaS tools without burning out, wasting weeks on polish, or spending anything on ads.
This article is a deep dive into the system that helped me go from “perpetual project starter” to “product launcher.”
And to help you shortcut your journey, I’m giving first access to my $99 course for just $1 (for the first 50 builders only).

Let’s get into it 👇
💡 What is MVP Stacking?
MVP Stacking is a simple mental model:
Instead of building one perfect SaaS, build layers of imperfect MVPs—each validating a part of your bigger vision.
Think of it like LEGO for founders:
- One MVP = one building block
- You validate small parts independently
- Then combine, kill, or scale based on response
🧱 Why MVP Stacking Works (Especially for Solo Devs)
- 🧠 You don’t overthink
- ⏱ You validate fast
- 🚫 You don’t fear failure—each MVP is a test
- 📈 You can reuse components across projects
When I launched my first product using this method, I spent just 10 days from idea to Stripe checkout—and got real users on Day 1.
⚙️ My 4-Step MVP Stacking Process
1. Start With One “Pain Tweet”
I look for frustrations in dev circles:
- “I hate generating OpenGraph images manually”
- “Why is Stripe setup still this complicated?”
- “I wish I could extract keywords without a login”
These are gold.
🧠 Rule:
If someone’s ranting about it online, there’s a market for the fix.
2. Set a Hard 10-Day Cap
This is critical.
No MVP of mine is allowed to take more than 10 days to finish.
Constraints force creativity.
You focus on “What’s essential for a stranger to pay me?”
🛠 Tools I use:
- Supabase for backend
- Next.js templates (I reuse a lot)
- Stripe for payments
- Vercel for deployment
3. Automate First, Polish Never
My MVPs often look ugly on Day 10—and that’s the point.
I automate:
- User onboarding with pre-written emails
- Access control via Stripe webhooks
- Landing page creation with AI (even just Notion + Super)
I polish after I have proof that someone will pay.
4. Rebuild or Stack
Here’s where the magic happens.
- If MVP succeeds → stack on top (add feature or upsell)
- If MVP fails → salvage the parts (login system, payment logic, etc.)
- Either way → I get a win
🧠 Insight:
You can build 3 failed MVPs and still walk away with 80% of your next SaaS ready.
🔥 Real Example: My Course Was an MVP Stack
I built this course itself using the same exact method:
- 👀 Validated demand with a tweet and Dev.to article
- 📦 Created a barebones course site
- 🏷 Priced it at $1 for early adopters
- 🧪 Improved it based on feedback, not assumptions
Now, it’s a growing community of solo founders and micro-builders.

🧰 Tools & Resources I Use for MVP Stacking
Here’s my minimalist toolkit:
- 🧠 Notion – planning and course content
- ⚙️ Supabase – auth, DB, and backend
- 💳 Stripe Checkout – instant payments
- 🌍 Vercel – deploy fast
- 🧪 Postman – API testing
- 📩 Gumroad/EmailOctopus – sell or notify audience
You don’t need 50 tools. You just need enough to validate.
💬 Final Thoughts: Build Faster. Launch Smarter.
Most devs sit on ideas for months. Some for years.
But if you’re reading this, you’re likely one habit away from finally shipping.
MVP Stacking is that habit for me.
So instead of overengineering something no one asked for...
Build tiny. Stack smart. Get paid.
