the place where small businesses
stop renting software
and start owning it.
saas is dead. we're building what comes next.
ai didn't drive software costs to zero. it shifted the bottleneck. the true cost of software has always been maintaining it — 80% of total cost of ownership is maintenance, not the initial build. traditional saas extracts that cost from you forever, gives you no ownership, and cuts off your legal recourse when things break.
how it works
propose
submit a software concept your business needs. describe the problem, what you'd pay per month for a maintained, hosted solution you actually own.
pledge
other businesses with the same problem back the concept with monthly commitments. when the threshold is reached, a cell forms.
own
a vetted developer cooperative builds it under contract to your collective. the code is open-source. the hosting is yours. you have legal standing.

for business owners
you're paying rent on tools you can't leave.
your crm raises prices 20%. your project management tool gets acquired and sunsets your plan. your data sits on someone else's servers and you have zero legal standing to do anything about it.
destroysass makes you a co-owner, not a customer. you fund software collectively with other businesses who need the same thing. a vetted developer cooperative builds it under contract to you. the code is open-source. the data is yours. the legal entity gives you voting rights and enforceable contracts.
if your vendor disappeared tomorrow, would your business survive? with destroysass, the answer is always yes.
for developers
build software people actually pay for. no vc. no boss. no bullshit.
the cell model is simple: form a cooperative, get certified, and bid on cells that hit threshold. you build real software for real businesses under a real contract — not spec work, not exposure, not “equity” in someone else's startup.
you ship on your terms. the treasury pays monthly, contingent on hitting your SLA. all code is open-source. if you do great work, your reputation compounds and more cells come to you. if you walk away, the collective replaces you. no one is trapped — not the businesses, not you.
this is contract work that scales like a product, without giving up ownership of your labor.
for investors
saas margins without saas fragility.
traditional saas is a rent-seeking monoculture. one vendor, millions of customers, and a single point of failure. ai is collapsing that model — building software is no longer the moat. the winners of the next decade will own the network, not the code.
destroysass is a platform that spawns self-sustaining micro-cooperatives. each cell funds its own development, governs its own roadmap, and pays platform fees for infrastructure. the code is free. the network, legal rails, and treasury infrastructure are the value.
revenue model: cell formation fees, platform take-rate (5–10% of each cell's treasury), cell certification, and inter-cell API routing fees at scale. every cell that forms increases the network and decreases churn — because owners don't churn the way customers do.
this isn't a saas company. it's the protocol layer that replaces saas companies.
