Just had a great chat with @PierreDeWulf who's building https://www.scrapingbee.com/
Pierre has a really interesting story and has managed to build a successful Web scraping API product after pivoting from an E-com product
What I learned from Pierre
Pierre has a really interesting story and has managed to build a successful Web scraping API product after pivoting from an E-com product

ScrapingBee is now doing over $15k MRR, but it wasn't always this pretty. Pierre and @SahinKevin first started building out an extension that notified you when a product you wanted went on sale...

They noticed that it was mostly ecommerce managers using their product to track their competitors, so Pierre and Kevin set out to build a pricing bot for ecommerce stores.
This didn't work out very well and they had to eventually shut it down.

In building their ecommerce pricing bot they had built a small web scraping API. The rest is history.

Pierre has many awesome insights about building SAAS products, particularly in B2B. We talked about using ahrefs for market research and Pierre has recently put together an awesome thread on it: https://twitter.com/PierreDeWulf/status/1332356653287694336?s=20
