A $60K Project to a $25.5M SaaS Exit — The Pricing Model That Won 90% Market Share


Listen Later

He turned a $60K custom project into a $25.5M exit with 90% market share. Here's how.

Featuring Kevin Price, Founder of Acucode — who built a B2B SaaS company from his basement in 1995 to the Inc 5,000 list.

Kevin breaks down how he landed 60 enterprise airline customers with one salesperson, why metric-based pricing beats per-seat models for SaaS adoption, and how his operational software scaled a warehouse from one shift to three in four weeks with zero errors — using temp workers with no technical experience.

🎯 Pick compliance problems where buyers must spend money 💰 Price per unit of value, not per seat — watch adoption soar 🤝 Channel partners already have your buyer's trust 🔧 Build on open source stacks that scale without downtime 📸 Real-time visibility kills the need for expert-only labor
