<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My product is a nonfiction book summary app built to help people learn faster and save time. I launched it as a solo founder to test whether my audience would engage with short, high-impact summaries that remove the friction of reading full books. The MVP quickly proved its demand: over 10,000 installs, 1,500+ active users, and $6,500+ in revenue with almost no marketing.</p><p>As a medical student and PhD researcher running a 900k-follower educational brand, my mission was simple — give people their time back by distilling the world’s best ideas into something they can consume in minutes.</p><p>I am now selling my product to fund my next product, an unbreakable screen-time-control system built with device-management technology.&nbsp;</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul><li>Annual Revenue: ~$6,538</li></ul><ul><li>Annual Profit: ~$6,113</li></ul><ul><li>Churn Rate: 5-10%</li></ul><p><b>Other Metrics:</b></p><p>• 10,000+ total installs</p><p>• 1,500+ monthly active users</p><p>• $6.5k revenue in year one (MVP stage)</p><p>• Built and maintained by a single founder</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>• Flutter – front-end and app logic</p><p>• Supabase – database + authentication</p><p>• RevenueCat – subscriptions &amp; payments</p><p>• Google Play Console / App Store Connect – distribution</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>The app was intentionally not aggressively marketed.</p><p>Growth came entirely from my organic reach and small test plugs to validate demand.</p><p><b>Main drivers:</b></p><p>• 900,000-follower audience in the reading/self-improvement niche</p><p>• “Minimal-push” tests via Instagram and TikTok</p><p>• A/B tested hooks based on book-summary viral trends</p><p>• Lookalike audiences available for paid scaling</p><p>Despite almost no promotion, the app still achieved:</p><p>• 10k+ installs</p><p>• $6.5k revenue</p><p>• 1.5k+ active users</p><p>• Strong retention among paying users</p><p>This shows clear upside for a buyer who wants to scale with paid ads or deeper content production.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>Revenue (2025):</p><p>• App Store: $5,077</p><p>• Google Play: ~$1,461</p><p>Total: ~$6,538</p><p>Expenses (Mar–Dec):</p><p>• Supabase: $300</p><p>• Apple Dev: $100</p><p>• Google Dev: $25</p><p>Total: $425</p><p>Net Profit: ~$6,113</p><p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>Buyers can recover the full acquisition cost quickly because the app is already profitable and requires minimal maintenance.</p><p>Scaling opportunities that increase ROI:</p><p>• Use my audience insights + lookalike datasets</p><p>• Add more summaries (templates already exist)</p><p>• Turn on paid ads with proven creatives</p><p>• Introduce annual plans + upsells</p><p>Strong upside with low operational overhead.</p><p><b>Startup assets<b></b></b></p><p>• iOS app (fully functional, live)</p><p>• Android app (fully functional, live)</p><p>• Supabase database</p><p>• RevenueCat configuration</p><p>• Branded templates for future summaries</p><p>• Access to lookalike audiences + winning creatives</p><p>• Consultation from me to transfer insights + growth strategy</p><p>Note: My followers are not included as an audience asset unless the buyer invests in my other product.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>• Solo-founder project, so the buyer must understand the content model</p><p>• Scaling requires consistent summary creation or outsourcing</p><p>• Competition exists (Headway, Blinkist)</p><p>However, the app succeeds by focusing on authentic book-club-style summaries, not low-effort AI rewrites — making it uniquely loved by users.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>My app is a proven MVP with strong organic traction, 10,000+ installs, and profitable revenue — built by a medical student and PhD researcher with a 900k audience.
