<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My product is an AI-grade prediction, pricing, and collection app for trading card collectors. Scan a card with your phone and get a PSA-style grade in under 30 seconds, with per-subgrade scores for centering, corners, edges, and surface. Each scan also returns live market prices (ungraded, PSA9, PSA10) and a predicted value at the AI grade. Cards are saved into a personal collection where users track value over time, flag which ones to submit, and re-price as the market moves. Pokémon today, sports cards, and other TCGs are already arriving organically.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul> <li>No marketing all traffic and revenue is organic SEO and AEO</li> <li>Business has been running for 3 months</li> <li>Revenue in USD Feb $4.99, March $165, April $429</li> <li>Monthly expense are $65 in Infrastructure</li> <li>CAC = 0, LTV (users are now buying 12 month subs)</li> <li>Churn is down to less than 25%</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>We have one person who handles development and SEO/AEO with the help of Claude's code.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul> <li>React + Typescript - The core application is built as a Progressive Web App</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Vercel - Hosting Infrastructure</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Stripe - Payment</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Supabase - Database</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Astro - Marketing Website</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Anthropic - AI Vision and grading</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Resend - Email service</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Posthog - All analyics</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Google Search Console - Analytics</li> </ul> <p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>100% of our growth has come from SEO and AI Search Optimisation.

This needs to be done by helping buyers manage their whole portfolio of cards. This is already working for Pokémon, and it is how we got buyers to purchase the collector and pro packages.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>We started this 66 days ago, and it has over 700 signups. The SEO/AEO engine has been set up for it to continue to grow at 15% week on week, particularly when sports cards are added ( a much larger market than Pokémon). Revenue is also growing 159% MOM.</p><p>✅ $924 in TTM</p><p>✅ 40 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: SaaS</p><p>✅ Built with TypeScript, Stripe, React</p>
