How We’re Scaling 3 SaaS Products (And Turning Down $85K Offers) 🚀
From LinkedIn hacks to Instagram growth, here’s how we’re hitting milestones and building for the future.
Hey Guyssss,
I miss 6 months of updates hahaha but I’m back and things have moved FAST.
Since July, we've seen major transformations across our SaaS products, a game-changing pivot for Welcomessage, explosive sign-ups, and new revenue milestones. Let's dive into the latest from Figue's Product Studio and beyond 💰 💰 💰
1️⃣ From Welcomessage to ReactIn – A Pivot That Changed Everything
You might remember Welcomessage.io, our LinkedIn automation tool for boosting SaaS activation. Well, it didn’t just evolve—it transformed. Today, it’s known as ReactIn.io, a full-fledged LinkedIn automation SaaS, built to supercharge B2B lead generation.
🔥 What changed?
Instead of just automating welcome messages, ReactIn now handles the entire LinkedIn outreach funnel for B2B founders & sales teams.
We introduced SmartLists, Multi-Sender, and advanced automation to make LinkedIn prospecting seamless.
It’s already generating MRR – and the growth is accelerating.
💡 The Turning Point? My LinkedIn Lead Magnet Post 📈
One simple LinkedIn post about using a lead magnet strategy on LinkedIn exploded sign-ups overnight. Suddenly, we had hundreds of new users, and that traction translated into our first paying customers. Proof that distribution matters as much as the product itself.
2️⃣ The Gramlab Story – From $85K Offers to Explosive Growth 🚀
While scaling ReactIn, we’ve also been doubling down on Gramlab.io – our Instagram growth tool leveraging the Close Friends feature. Here’s the story:
💡 Built in 15 Days: Gramlab automates the process of adding followers to your Close Friends list, boosting Story Views by 5-10x.
📊 Early Results:
250+ Signups in 10 Days
$5,000 Revenue
Over 1M followers added
“We’d like to acquire Gramlab for $85,000.” That was the offer we received two weeks post-launch. Tempting? Yes. But we said no to bet on long-term potential.
🔥 Recent Milestone: In just one month, Gramlab hit $17,000 in revenue (no ads, no subscriptions).
💡 Why One-Time Payments?
Instead of a subscription model, we opted for a one-time payment structure to lower friction and boost conversions. Dynamic pricing scales based on account size, ranging from $100 for small accounts to $3,500 for massive ones.
3️⃣ SteelSync.io Hits $500 MRR (100% Organically) 💰
Our first SaaS, SteelSync.io, continues to grow. It’s now at $500 MRR, driven purely by organic growth from Slack communities, SEO, and word of mouth.
💡 Key Use Cases:
Simplifies collaboration between Tech and Business teams.
Creates tailored stakeholder views for PM tools like Linear and Jira.
4️⃣ Figue’s Design-as-a-Service Hits $10K MRR 🎨
Our Design-as-a-Service subscription model is now a core revenue driver, making $10,000/month.

5️⃣ Public SaaS Builders Podcast Reaches Episode 20 🎙️
Our podcast, Public SaaS Builders, just hit its 20th episode, averaging 300-400 fans per episode. Which I think is pretty good when you have in mind that +50% of podcast episodes don’t overreach 120 streams.
Recent highlights include:
ReactIn’s transformation and MRR milestones.
The power of Close Friends automation with Gramlab.
SaaS activation strategies that work.
NB: sorry guys, it’s French only
What’s Next?
🚀 Scaling ReactIn & hitting $1,000 MRR
📈 Expanding Gramlab’s presence in the US market
What do you want to ask me???
Keep building,
François 🧙♂️
