That's a wrap on #MicroConf US 2026 in Portland! Couldn't make it? Here's everything you missed:

Most SaaS founders know referrals work. Few have a system for them. At MicroConf Europe 2025, @laurasprinkle shared her repeatable framework for turning happy customers and strategic partners into a referral engine. Watch: → youtu.be/4Qb9bElIymo

Every founder thinks their pricing is fine. Most are leaving real money on the table. A quick breakdown of SaaS pricing models: youtu.be/lC6Gpn0ugFI

"I wish I could take a business vacation with 200 of my closest #SaaS founder friends," you say. "And I wish there could be a thermal lagoon involved." Wish granted: microconf.com/europe

Getting your first 100 customers is a completely different problem from getting your next 100. Here's how to approach the first batch: youtu.be/QviDwsMLXb0

B2B or B2C SaaS? The margin differences are bigger than most founders realize. youtu.be/CW5N1KjwJlc

Welcome to the Spring 2026 TinySeed Accelerator batch: @HandelBay, Mission Lens, @usesettle, Sidekick Learning, Sitehunt, TurboSource, and Wasapi. (Plus a few more in stealth!) Our newest founders are tackling a huge range of underserved verticals, from procurement in LATAM and RFP automation, to behavioral health, WhatsApp at scale, healthcare recruiting, and industrial real estate.

Most SaaS ideas fail not because of execution - but because nobody validated the dang thing first. Here's a step-by-step validation process that works: youtube.com/watch?v=31U9X_…

Most SaaS founders frame their value too low, segment customers too simply, and leave serious ARR on the table. 📉 In this MicroConf US 2025 talk, Marcos Rivera breaks down the 5 mistakes killing your pricing power, and the "5Q" framework to fix them. youtu.be/JUB5t1SuIMo

If this feels like a personal attack, it is.

If you weren't at @MicroConf last week and you're wondering what the big takeaway's were... Here's @coreyhainesco , dropping the meatiest of them all.

Most founders charge more as they grow. @mariemartens gave everything away for free, and bootstrapped @TallyForms to $1.5M ARR with 3 people and $0 in ads. Her MicroConf Europe talk breaks down the entire playbook 👇 youtu.be/Dt6HAEuwEug

@kovacsamate @jonhainstock @mynameis_davis Well, no one bought or sold any businesses on a napkin, but it wasn't too bad 😉 we missed you! -Lianna

@jonhainstock @MicroConf @mynameis_davis I hope you guys had a great time!!

Great seeing old friends and meeting new ones at @MicroConf!

Just got back from @MicroConf Portland. Years working from home, I lost a second opinion and a compass. Being a solo founder is difficult. Here I met people I trust. People I virtually learned from. Big thanks to @robwalling for this. It's something special. See you next year

Last call for this round of MicroConf Mastermind matching! Applications close tonight at 11:59 PM CT. microconf.com/masterminds

@sdbagency Thanks for joining us! 🙌 -Tracy

@MicroConf It was great, loved meeting you all.
