From Jobless to $250K/Year: A SaaS Startup Story Built on Microsoft Teams

After losing his job in 2020, Ilia capitalized on the remote work boom by developing apps for Microsoft Teams. Following an initial failed attempt with a translation app, he identified a gap in the market: the inadequacy of Teams' built-in Wiki. He created Perfect Wiki, a simple, user-friendly knowledge base tool. Its seamless integration with Teams and focus on user needs led to rapid adoption, generating $250,000 in annual revenue within five years with a team of only two. This success story highlights the importance of focusing on niche markets and building simple, effective products.
