Alan Gokoglu and Fotios Tsiouklas are two Australian millionaires taking over the $134B SaaS business by storm. The two have been in business since they were in grade 7. They have extensive experience in the tech niche and have started several tech-startups that they built from scratch to million-dollar enterprises. After developing over 100 apps, the young entrepreneurs decided to delve into SaaS.
According to a 2020 Gartner report, SaaS is the largest market niche and is predicted to grow to $104.7 billion in 2020. The report notes that there is a continued shift from on-premise license software to the subscription-based SaaS model. This shift is due to the benefits that firms enjoy from subscription-based SaaS, for instance, ease of scalability and integration, updates/new releases, reduced costs, and so much more. SaaS reduced the concerns of software piracy as firms pay a subscription fee after which they get access to the software solution. The issue of maintenance remains in the hands of the vendor, and this makes it easier for companies as they don’t have to worry about downtime and the need for updates.
Alan and Fotios entered into the SaaS niche so that they can help people build and grow their brands.

Taking Over The SaaS Space
When you look at Alan and Fotios’ business portfolio, you’ll realize that they have been taking over the tech niche. The two purchased the domain “TikToks.com” six months before TikTok became the biggest social media platform in the world. They bought the name for $2000 from GoDaddy three weeks before it was professionally valued at $145,000USD after the explosion of TikTok. Alan and Fotios were tempted to sell the domain name. But, they had a feeling that it was worth far more and decided to buy every TikTok growth domain variation, e.g. TikTokgrow.com, TikTokbot.com e.t.c.
Alan and Fotios launched Instaboom.io. This is an Instagram hashtag tool that helps businesses grow their Instagram with viral hashtags every week. This tool helps companies access the most trending and updated hashtags for their niche.
Australia’s youngest self-made millionaire entrepreneurs have created SaaS products that have exponentially taken over the SaaS space. Their 8 SaaS businesses offer solutions that were overlooked by giant tech companies, e.g. Instaboom.io. Through these SaaS businesses, they have managed to help over 20,000 clients develop their brands.
