Solo-built SaaS for automating Meta/Google ads
Hey HN,
I’m Efe, a solo founder currently based in Poland through the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs program. I’ve been working on a bootstrapped SaaS called Adgrow that automates paid advertising for small e-commerce brands.
This all started because I was running an email marketing agency and realized something: Most of the DTC and e-com brands I worked with either had no idea how to scale ads properly or were burning money on freelancers and agencies with no visibility or feedback loop. They needed automation — but without the bloated tools or 4-figure monthly retainers.
So I decided to build what I wish they had:
A lean dashboard to launch and manage Meta + Google campaigns
Lightweight performance analytics (think ROAS and attribution, minus the noise)
Pre-built workflows for lead generation, abandoned cart, promos etc.
Adgrow is now functional and live. I’m still in the early stages — no team, no funding, just learning in public. To validate early and get real user feedback, I’ve launched a lifetime deal that helps fund the project while giving early adopters a lot of value.
Here’s the link if you're curious or want to try it: https://www.adgrow.net/lifetime-deal
Would love your feedback — especially from other indie hackers, marketers, and SaaS builders. What would you expect from a tool like this? What’s missing? What’s too much?
Happy to answer any questions and iterate on this.
Thanks, Efe
