<p><b>Startup Description</b></p><p>My project is an AI-powered productivity tool that transforms voice notes into structured text. It helps users capture thoughts on the go and automatically organizes them into summaries, to-do lists, or formatted content using OpenAI (Whisper + GPT).</p><p>I originally built this project to "scratch my own itch." As a developer, I needed a way to quickly record ramblings and turn them into actionable notes. I started with a Proof of Concept (POC) for personal use. Realizing its value, I polished the code into a full SaaS product and later developed a dedicated Android app to make it available to everyone.</p><p><b>Key highlights</b></p><ul><li>MRR: €40</li><li>Total Revenue (since launch late 2024): €431</li><li>Active Paid Subscribers: 7</li><li>LTV (Lifetime Value): ~€44</li><li>Registered Users/Leads: 939</li><li>Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): €0 (100% organic)</li></ul><p><b>Team</b></p><p>I am a solo founder and developer. I handle everything from the backend (Python) and frontend (React) development to server management. Since I focused heavily on the product, no marketing team or freelancers have been involved.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>The project is built on a clean, modern, and self-hosted stack:</p><ul><li><b>Frontend:</b> React (Web).</li><li><b>Mobile:</b> React Native (Android application).</li><li><b>Backend:</b> Python with Flask framework.</li><li><b>Database:</b> PostgreSQL.</li><li><b>AI Integration:</b> OpenAI Whisper (for transcription) and GPT models (for formatting/summarization).</li><li><b>Payments:</b> Stripe integration.</li><li><b>Hosting:</b> Currently self-hosted on a dedicated server.</li></ul><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>To date, I have spent <b>$0 on paid advertising</b>. All growth has been 100% organic.</p><ul><li><b>SEO:</b> The domain ranks #1 on Google for its brand name.</li><li><b>Directories:</b> Listed on relevant software directories, causing natural backlinks.</li><li><b>Results:</b> This passive approach generated 939 registered users and verified revenue without any active content creation or social media marketing.</li></ul><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><ul><li>MRR: €40 currently.</li><li>Monthly Costs: ~$10-15 USD/month (OpenAI API fees).</li><li>Margins: Currently ~65-70%.</li><li>Optimization Opportunity: The current API usage is unoptimized. A buyer could easily increase margins significantly by switching to more cost-effective models (like gpt-4o-mini-transcribe) or adjusting the transcription settings, which would drastically reduce the monthly bill.</li></ul><p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>The product is validated but marketed poorly. A buyer with marketing skills (Ads, Content Marketing, Influencer outreach) can immediately monetize the existing database of 900+ leads and scale the MRR. Since the tech is stable and "set and forget," the ROI comes from unlocking the growth potential that I haven't touched.</p><p><b>Startup assets</b></p><ul><li><b>Source Code:</b> Complete repositories for the Web App (React), Backend (Python/Flask), and Android App (React Native).</li><li><b>Domain Name:</b> High-quality branding, ranking #1 for its keyword.</li><li><b>User Database:</b> 939 registered users/leads.</li><li><b>Stripe Account/Data:</b> Transfer of current active subscriptions.</li></ul><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>API Dependency: The app relies on OpenAI. </p><p>Mitigation: The backend is flexible; you could swap to other models (like Claude or open-source Whisper) if needed.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>My app is the perfect acquisition for a growth marketer or an investor looking for a validated Micro-SaaS. You get a fully functional cross-platform product (Web + Android) with a proven need (productivity/AI), existing revenue, and nearly 1,000 leads.</p><p>I built this as a passionate developer, focusing entirely on code quality rather than sales. I have never run ads, contacted influencers, or done "real" marketing. The hard technical work is done; it just needs someone to sell it.</p></br>✅ $480 in Annual revenue✅ 7 customers✅ Business model: SaaS✅ Built with React Native, Flask, PostgreSQL
