Overview
<p><b>Startup Description</b></p><p>My product is an AI-powered revision platform built specifically for UK students sitting GCSEs, A-Levels, and Scottish National 5 exams. Students pick their subject and topic, and the platform generates personalised practice questions and exam-style content instantly.</p><p>I started it because I needed it. I'm 16 and sitting my GCSEs right now. I couldn't find a revision tool that actually felt modern or used AI properly, so I built one. The whole thing was built solo, no co-founder, no investment, no team. 426 students have signed up since launch, acquired almost entirely through organic TikTok content.</p><p><b>Key Highlights</b></p><ul>
<li>MRR: £18.44</li>
<li>ARR: ~£221</li>
<li>Gross volume all time: £78.70</li>
<li>Active subscribers: 7</li>
<li>Stripe customers: 20</li>
<li>Failed payments: £86.82 (recoverable with basic dunning tooling)</li>
<li>Annual profit: ~£221 (running costs near zero)</li>
<li>Business margin: ~95%+</li>
<li>CAC: £0 (100% organic TikTok)</li>
<li>426 total signups</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Team</b></p><p>Solo founder. I handle everything: product, development, marketing, customer support, and content creation. There is no dependency on any third party to keep the product running day to day.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul>
<li>React + Vite + Tailwind (frontend)</li>
<li>Supabase (database, auth, edge functions)</li>
<li>Stripe (payments and subscriptions)</li>
<li>Vercel (hosting and deployment)</li>
</ul>
<p>Clean, modern stack. A buyer comfortable with JavaScript and React can pick this up with minimal ramp-up time.</p><p><b>Marketing and Growth</b></p><p>All 426 signups came from organic TikTok content across two accounts with a combined following of just over 1,000. Content focused on controversial study takes, storytime formats, and motivational hooks rather than direct product promotion. My platform is positioned as a natural detail in the story rather than the focal point, which is why it converts.</p><p>The TikTok content strategy, posting cadence, and hook formula are all documented and included in the handover. A buyer can continue exactly what's working without starting from scratch.</p><p>Peak demand is in May and June, the UK exam season. This listing is live right now, during that window.</p><p>The subscriber growth chart shows a clear upward curve through April, going from 0 to 7 active subscribers with momentum still building heading into peak exam season.</p><p><b>Return on Investment</b></p><p>Running costs are near zero, so the payback period depends entirely on how aggressively the buyer converts the existing 426-signup base. Converting 5% to the monthly plan covers the asking price within a couple of months. The £86.82 in failed payments alone is low-hanging fruit for a buyer with basic retention tooling in place. The TikTok strategy is working and can be scaled immediately without any additional spend.</p><p><b>Startup Assets</b></p><ul>
<li>Full codebase (React/Vite/Supabase/Stripe)</li>
<li>.co.uk domain</li>
<li>Supabase project with 426 user accounts</li>
<li>Stripe account with 20 customers and full payment history</li>
<li>Two TikTok accounts, combined 1,000+ followers</li>
<li>Documented TikTok content strategy and hook formula</li>
<li>Ambassador programme (two active student ambassadors with referral codes)</li>
<li>Full handover call included</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Risks</b></p><ul>
<li>Low current MRR means the buyer is acquiring potential, not proven scale. The 426 signups are warm but mostly unconverted.</li>
<li>Exam season ends in late June. A buyer needs to move quickly to capitalise on peak demand, then think about retention through summer.</li>
<li>TikTok algorithm dependency. The content strategy works now but organic reach can shift. Diversifying into SEO or paid ads is a natural next step.</li>
<li>Ambassador relationships were built personally by me. Continuity depends on the buyer maintaining those connections.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Summary</b></p><p>Seven paying subscribers, £18.44 MRR, 426 signups, £0 acquisition cost, ~95% margin, and a further £86.82 in failed payments sitting there waiting to be recovered. The product is built, working, and growing heading into the busiest revision period of the year.</p><p>Most edtech tools are built by companies that have never sat the exams they're designing for. This one was built by a 16-year-old while sitting there. That's the story, and it's a genuine one. A buyer gets a functional product, a warm audience, a proven content playbook, a clean codebase, and a market that peaks in the next six weeks.</p><p>✅ $106 in ARR</p><p>✅7 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: SaaS</p><p>✅ Built with Stripe, GitHub, Supabase</p>
