AsyncForge for Solo SaaS Founders
You started a SaaS because you saw an opportunity, not because you wanted to run sprint planning. AsyncForge keeps you out of the management layer and focused on the product and the customers.
The Solo SaaS Founder Problem
You started your SaaS because you saw a problem you could solve. Maybe you are technical, maybe you are not — but either way, the work that grows the company in year one is not the same work that grows it in year two. Early on, you needed to ship the MVP, talk to customers, and iterate. Now you have paying customers, a roadmap, and the feeling that engineering velocity is the bottleneck.
The traditional next move is hiring. You post a job, interview candidates, hire someone, and now you have a team of one to manage. The math rarely works in year one of paid hiring: a senior engineer at €80k+/year is more than most bootstrapped SaaS revenue, and you are betting on a person being a good fit for a company that itself is still figuring out what it is.
Freelancers are the alternative most solo founders try next. The good ones are excellent, but finding them is a part-time job. You write the spec, post to multiple platforms, sift through proposals, vet portfolios, run paid trials, and accept that 1 in 4 engagements will go sideways. The freelancer disappears, the work slips, or the code is unmaintainable. You are back where you started, except a month behind.
AsyncForge is built for this exact problem. You stay solo. We become the engineering function for shipping features, fixing bugs, and maintaining the codebase. You submit work on a Kanban board in plain language, choose a turnaround tier (4-day Light at €2,000/month, 48-hour Standard at €4,000/month, 1-day Pro at €8,000/month), and get production code back. No hires, no contractors, no management.
The pricing matters too. As a solo founder, your MRR is small in year one and growing. A fixed monthly cost is something you can plan around. The Light plan is approximately the cost of one senior contractor for a week — and you get a full month of delivery. When you outgrow Light, you upgrade to Standard. When the product takes off, you upgrade to Pro. The plan scales with the business, not with one developer's hourly rate.
What this means for you
Stay solo for longer
You do not need to hire to scale. Use AsyncForge until hiring genuinely makes sense — typically post-Series A or once MRR justifies a full-time team.
Fixed monthly cost
Budget predictably. No hourly billing, no scope creep invoices, no quarterly renegotiations.
Async-first by design
No standups. No sprint ceremonies. No Slack at midnight. Submit tasks when you have them, get them back when they are done.
Pause when life happens
You can pause your subscription if you take a holiday, raise a round, or hit a slow month. No penalties.
Full-stack coverage
Frontend, backend, infrastructure, integrations. No need to find specialists for each layer.
No interviews, no onboarding
You start submitting tasks the day you subscribe. The team is already onboarded.
Common tasks we handle
Shipping the next feature
Customer-requested features, conversion-improving experiments, integrations with third-party tools — all handled through tasks.
Fixing customer-reported bugs
A Sentry alert, an email from a customer, a regression. Drop it on the board with a description and it gets handled.
Building marketing pages
New landing pages, programmatic SEO, comparison pages — all built without your involvement beyond direction.
Migrating to a new stack
You are stuck on a legacy framework, hosting platform, or database. We do the migration without halting feature work.
