Our Venture Studio Model
A systematic approach to building profitable micro-SaaS companies
Why a Venture Studio?
Sevenhills does not operate as a services or agency business. All studio resources are dedicated to building and scaling in-house SaaS products. This focus allows us to systematically test multiple product ideas, validate them with real users and revenue, and scale the winners.
- Reduces startup risk through portfolio diversification
- Improves capital efficiency by spreading bets across multiple products
- Enables faster learning through systematic experimentation
- Allows disciplined resource allocation to winning products
- Creates sustainable recurring revenue from owned products

Scale Winning Products
Shut Down Weak Ideas Early
This portfolio-based approach reduces startup risk and improves capital efficiency by spreading bets across multiple products instead of relying on a single idea.
How We Decide What to Build
Our systematic approach to product ideation
Identify High-Frequency Problems
We look for problems that occur frequently for a specific target audience. High-frequency problems create strong demand for solutions.
Validate Market Demand
Before building, we validate that people are actively looking for solutions and willing to pay for them.
Assess Technical Feasibility
We evaluate if we can build an MVP in 30-45 days with our current capabilities and resources.
Estimate Revenue Potential
We project potential revenue based on market size, pricing, and conversion assumptions.
Validation Metrics
How we measure product success
User Acquisition
Number of users signing up and actively using the product within the first 30-60 days.
Revenue Generation
Actual paying customers and recurring revenue within the first 60-90 days of launch.
User Retention
Percentage of users who continue using the product after the first month.
Customer Feedback
Qualitative feedback indicating the product solves a real problem and delivers value.
Kill Criteria
When we shut down products
We intentionally shut down products that don't meet validation criteria. This disciplined approach contributes to faster learning and better capital efficiency.
- No paying customers after 90 days of launch
- User retention below 20% after first month
- Negative or indifferent customer feedback
- Technical challenges that prevent scaling
- Market size too small to support sustainable business
- Better opportunities identified for resource allocation
Portfolio Scaling Strategy
How we grow winning products
Once a product meets validation criteria, we systematically scale it through focused marketing, feature expansion, and customer success initiatives.
- Double down on winning products with proven metrics
- Expand features based on customer feedback and usage data
- Invest in marketing channels that show positive ROI
- Build customer success processes to improve retention
- Explore adjacent markets and use cases
- Maintain capital discipline even during growth phase
