<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My platform is an advanced AI-powered presentation generator built for scale. Unlike simple wrappers, this is a full-feature platform that includes built-in marketing tools (bulk emailer, auto-blog), observability (AI SRE agent), and flexible content ingestion (file parsers).</p><p>I started this project to solve the presentation, sales proposals, and generally the "blank canvas" problem for professionals. Built a robust engine that takes any input: topic, file, or URL - and generates branded, editable slides in seconds. It is currently fully operational with a stable payment stack (Lemon Squeezy + PayPal) after an initial high-traffic launch phase.</p><p><b>Key Highlights</b></p><ul> <li><b>Validated Product:</b> $1,500+ in total sales with zero active marketing after launch.</li> <li><b>User Base:</b> 3,203 total registered users (can be retargeted).</li> <li><b>Automation:</b> Comes with internal tools for SEO (auto-blogging) and DevOps (AI log monitoring).</li> <li><b>Tech Maturity:</b> Not a "no-code" app. Built on enterprise-grade .NET/Blazor architecture. Supports ~1,200 simultaneous generations on 1 server instance.</li> <li><b>Payment Stack:</b> Lemon Squeezy &amp; PayPal integrated (Merchant of Record handles taxes/compliance, Stripe also integrated but unused).</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><ul> <li><b>Founder/Developer (Me):</b> Solo build. Responsible for full-stack development, AI model integration, DevOps and server architecture.</li> <li><b>Current Status:</b> Project is in full "maintenance mode" for the last 5 months as I pivot to a new bigger venture.</li> </ul> <p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul> <li><b>Core:</b> C# .NET (Blazor Server) + SignalR for real-time updates.</li> <li><b>Database:</b> PostgreSQL.</li> <li><b>AI Backend:</b> Agnostic architecture currently running <b>Claude 4</b> for generation (SingularityService: switch to OpenAI/Gemini/Grok with only API key swap).</li> <li><b>Hosting:</b> Microsoft Azure.<br><br><b><br>Internal Tools:&nbsp;</b></li> <li><b>Marketing:</b> Custom bulk email sender + A/B testing engine + Large email list parser up to 10m of emails.</li> <li><b>SEO:</b> Automated blog generator (scans competitors daily -&gt; writes articles).</li> <li><b>Ops:</b> AI SRE Agent (scans logs daily -&gt; reports health/activity to Telegram/WhatsApp).</li> <li><b>Paywall engine</b>: 3 configurable dynamic paywalls on different conditions.<br></li> </ul> <p><b>Templates:</b> 50+ HTML templates, LEGO blocks in an expandable library to construct presentations.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><ul> <li><b>Launch:</b> We ran a TikTok account with 500k views that generated massive initial interest and traffic.</li> <li><b>Organic:</b> The built-in "Auto-Blog" feature generates content to capture long-tail keywords without manual writing.</li> <li><b>Viral Loops:</b> Users can share/embed presentations, creating organic backlinks and exposure.</li> </ul> <p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><ul> <li><b>Total Sales Volume:</b> ~$1,500 USD. (1st release was in March 2025)</li> <li><b>Current MRR:</b> ~$60 USD.</li> <li><b>Costs:</b> Hosting (Azure) $120 monthly for server &amp; database + AI API costs (usage based, currently around $3/m).</li> <li><b>Unit Economics:</b> High margin. Presentations cost pennies to generate via API; subscription prices range from $9 to $299.</li> </ul> <p><b>Return on investment</b></p><ul> <li><b>Payback Period:</b> Fully depends on buyers ability to market the solution.</li> <li><b>Growth Levers:</b></li> <li><b>Monetize the 3,200 leads:</b> Most are free organic users. App offers a 2 free presentations generation after registration. A simple email campaign (using the built-in tool) offering a discount could instantly generate ROI.</li> <li><b>B2B Pivot:</b> The platform is already attracting "Enterprise-grade" usage. We have observed free users processing high-stakes documentation (e.g., filled contracts for the oil &amp; energy sector). This signals strong demand for a "Private/Enterprise" version where companies potentially pay $500/mo for data privacy and custom branding.</li> </ul> <p><b>Startup assets</b></p><ul> <li><b>Codebase:</b> Complete GitHub repository (Blazor/C#).</li> <li><b>Domain:</b> Premium domain.</li> <li><b>User Database:</b> 3,203 registered users (emails &amp; profiles).</li> <li><b>Internal Tools:</b> Custom Email Marketing System &amp; AI Blog Generator (worth $2k+ alone).</li> <li><b>Support:</b> 2 weeks of technical onboarding to help you deploy and understand the architecture.</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><ul> <li><b>AI Dependency:</b> Relies on third-party APIs (Claude/OpenAI/Grok). Mitigation: The code is model-agnostic; you can swap providers in minutes if pricing changes and use fallbacks.</li> <li><b>Payment History:</b> We experienced a high volume of card testing/fraud during our initial TikTok launch, which led us to migrate from Stripe to Lemon Squeezy. Mitigation: Lemon Squeezy now acts as the Merchant of Record, handling all fraud detection and liability securely.</li> </ul> <p><b>Summary</b></p><p>I am selling this project because I am a builder, not a marketing person. I have built a "Ferrari" of a presentation tool - complete with SRE agents, email marketing engines, and beautiful UI - but I have left it in the garage, and I have no time to spare on this project as my other venture now generates significant revenue.</p><p>This is a <b>validated codebase and a list of 3,200 leads.</b> If you are a developer looking for a head start or a marketer who needs a product to sell, this saves you around 6+ months of development time and provides you with a complete automated SaaS in the box, which doesn't require a team to run and could be operated by AI agents on its own.</p><p>✅ $1,500 in ARR</p><p>✅ 3,200 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: SaaS</p><p>✅ Built with .NET, PostgreSQL, Azure</p>
