<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My product is an AI resume optimization tool for job seekers. Users upload a resume, paste a job description, and receive an ATS-focused analysis with keyword matching, formatting checks, improvement recommendations, and AI rewrite support.</p><p>The product was built as a lean AI SaaS to validate demand in the job-search market. It uses a freemium, pay-per-use credit model: users can try a free demo scan, then purchase credits for full scans and rewrites.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul> <li>286 registered auth users</li> <li>285 profiles</li> <li>43 buyers</li> <li>$950.56 live Stripe gross revenue</li> <li>$79.97 Stripe-tied refunds</li> <li>$870.59 approximate net after refunds</li> <li>684 authenticated saved scans</li> <li>383 estimated demo scans</li> <li>43 users scanned after signup</li> <li>7 active scan users in the last 30 days</li> <li>ARR: $0, because revenue is credit-based, not subscription-based</li> <li>Churn: not directly applicable, because there are no recurring subscriptions</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>Built and operated by a solo indie maker/software engineer. Responsibilities included product design, frontend, backend/API, AI integration, Stripe payments, Supabase setup, deployment, and landing page.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>The product includes a landing site, web app, and backend API. The stack uses React/Next.js on the frontend, Supabase for auth/database, Stripe for payments, Google Gemini for AI resume analysis, and Vercel/Railway-style deployment infrastructure.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>Growth so far has been mostly organic/product-led rather than scaled paid acquisition. The product has validated demand through real users, free scans, and 43 paying customers. The biggest growth opportunities are SEO pages around ATS/resume keywords, TikTok and short-form job-search content, affiliate partnerships with resume writers and career coaches, and improving demo-to-paid conversion.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>Recorded live Stripe gross revenue is $950.56, with $79.97 in refunds, for approximately $870.59 net after refunds. May 2026 revenue is currently $0. The current model is one-time credit purchases rather than recurring subscriptions, so MRR/ARR should be treated as $0. Direct AI/hosting costs are about $1/month, with hosting currently free on Railway and database currently free on Supabase.</p><p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>At an $8,000 asking price, the buyer is mainly acquiring a validated product, codebase, user base, payment history, and growth upside. ROI would likely come from improving SEO/content distribution, increasing demo-to-paid conversion, optimizing pricing, and adding related features such as cover letters, LinkedIn optimization, and job-specific resume versions.</p><p><b>Startup assets<b></b></b></p><ul> <li>Domain and brand assets.</li> <li>Landing website.&nbsp;</li> <li>Web application.&nbsp;</li> <li>Backend/API codebase.&nbsp;</li> <li>Supabase database structure and user/customer records.&nbsp;</li> <li>Stripe revenue history.&nbsp;</li> <li>286 registered users.&nbsp;</li> <li>43 buyers.&nbsp;</li> <li>684 authenticated saved scans.&nbsp;</li> <li>Existing product copy and landing page content.</li> <li>Deployment and operational materials</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><p>Revenue is early and inconsistent, with no current recurring subscription revenue. The product needs stronger marketing and distribution to become a meaningful business. AI/API costs should be monitored as usage grows. The buyer can reduce risk by tightening pricing, improving onboarding, adding usage limits, and focusing on SEO/content channels before scaling paid ads.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>This is a small but validated AI resume SaaS asset with real users, paying customers, working infrastructure, and a clear niche. It is best suited for a buyer who can focus on marketing, SEO, partnerships, and conversion optimization.</p><p>✅ $951 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 43 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: Credits</p><p>✅ Built with TypeScript, Stripe, TailwindCSS</p>
