Overview

<p>My platform is an AI-powered SaaS designed for Etsy sellers. It analyzes Etsy data in real time to help sellers identify profitable niches, discover relevant keywords, optimize SEO listings, and create AI-generated images and videos.</p><p>The product was built to solve a simple problem: helping Etsy sellers make data-driven decisions instead of relying on assumptions when choosing products and creating listings.</p><p><b>Key highlights</b></p><ul> <li>Revenue since February: ~$9,000</li> <li>Current MRR: ~$500</li> <li>Peak MRR: ~$1,200</li> <li>Current paying customers: 18</li> <li>Registered accounts: ~800</li> <li>Average monthly operating/API costs: ~$40</li> <li>Churn: ~30%</li> <li>Average customer lifetime: ~3 months</li> <li>Main pricing: $44/month Pro plan</li> <li>Current annualized revenue run-rate: ~$6,000</li> <li>Acquisition: Word of mouth + affiliate partnerships</li> </ul> <p>CAC and LTV have not been systematically tracked, so no artificial figures are provided.</p><p><b>Team</b></p><p>The SaaS is currently operated by a single founder, with the product requiring very limited day-to-day operational work.</p><p>The current owner has primarily been responsible for product development, maintenance, customer management and growth.</p><p>The business has been largely left unattended since May, meaning the current metrics are generated with very limited active marketing.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>The project is built as a modern SaaS application using a lightweight infrastructure.</p><p>The sale includes the existing GitHub repository, Supabase infrastructure, Stripe billing setup and Notify integration.</p><p>The codebase and infrastructure are already operational, allowing a buyer to take over the product without rebuilding it from scratch.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>The main acquisition channels have been:</p><ul> <li>Word-of-mouth</li> <li>Affiliate partnerships</li> <li>Partnerships with French creator/entrepreneur communities</li> <li>Etsy-related communities</li> </ul> <p>The product has generated approximately $9,000 in revenue since February, despite marketing activity being significantly reduced since May.</p><p>A particularly interesting growth opportunity is the reactivation of previous affiliate partnerships. There are currently four former affiliates who can potentially be reactivated, including access to communities of several thousand members.</p><p>This creates an opportunity to restart customer acquisition through performance-based partnerships rather than relying entirely on paid advertising.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>The platform currently generates approximately $500 MRR, with a historical peak of approximately $1,200 MRR.</p><p>Since February, the SaaS has generated approximately $9,000 in total revenue.</p><p>The main subscription is the $44/month Pro plan, with the majority of paying customers subscribed to this plan.</p><p>Current API and infrastructure costs are approximately €40/month, primarily for AI API usage.</p><p>At the current $500 MRR, the business has an annualized revenue run-rate of approximately $6,000.</p><p>The current churn is approximately 30% per month, with an average customer lifetime of around 3 months. Improving onboarding, retention and product engagement represents a significant opportunity to increase LTV.</p><p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>At a low acquisition price, the business has a relatively short potential payback period because operating costs are currently very low.</p><p>For example, at a $500 MRR run-rate and approximately €40/month in API costs, the current recurring contribution before other potential expenses is substantial relative to the infrastructure cost.</p><p>The main path to accelerating ROI is not cost reduction, but restarting customer acquisition and improving retention.</p><p>Reactivating the four previous affiliates, expanding the affiliate network and improving conversion from the existing ~800 registered accounts could allow a buyer to increase MRR without having to rebuild the product.</p><p><b>Startup assets</b></p><ul> <li>Fully developed SaaS</li> <li>~800 registered user accounts</li> <li>18 current paying customers</li> <li>GitHub repository and source code</li> <li>Domain</li> <li>Stripe billing infrastructure and historical payment data</li> <li>Supabase database/infrastructure</li> <li>Notify integration</li> <li>Existing product and UI</li> <li>Existing customer base</li> <li>Historical revenue data</li> <li>Existing affiliate relationships and contacts, where transferable</li> <li>Existing security audit</li> <li>Product documentation and infrastructure required to operate the SaaS</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><p>The main risk is customer retention. The current churn rate is approximately 30%, and the average customer lifetime is around 3 months.</p><p>A buyer can mitigate this by improving onboarding, increasing product value for existing users, introducing stronger retention mechanisms and identifying the main reasons for cancellation.</p><p>Another risk is that the SaaS has received limited active marketing since May. As a result, historical acquisition performance may not immediately return after relaunch.</p><p>This can be mitigated by starting with the previously successful affiliate channel, where four former affiliates can potentially be reactivated, before investing heavily in paid acquisition.</p><p>The product also operates in a competitive market. A buyer should therefore continue improving the product and focus on differentiation within specific Etsy seller use cases.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>My platform is an operational AI SaaS with proven revenue, an existing paying customer base, approximately 800 registered users and very low recurring infrastructure costs.</p><p>The most interesting aspect of the acquisition is the amount of growth potential relative to the current level of activity. The SaaS has already generated approximately $9,000 since February and reached ~$1,200 MRR, while marketing activity has been largely inactive since May.</p><p>A buyer is acquiring an already-built and monetized product rather than starting from zero, with existing users, historical revenue, infrastructure, affiliate relationships and a proven willingness to pay.</p><p>The main opportunity is to take an under-marketed SaaS and restart growth through affiliate partnerships, Etsy communities, improved onboarding and better customer retention.</p><p>✅ $9,364 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 18 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: SaaS</p><p>✅ Built with Next.js, Stripe, Supabase</p>

Business Model

The platform operates on a subscription-based SaaS model. The majority of paying customers are subscribed to the Pro plan at $44/month.

Target Audience

The primary target customers are Etsy sellers and aspiring Etsy entrepreneurs looking to identify profitable niches, research keywords, optimize their listings for SEO, and create better visual content using AI.

Asking Price Reasoning

The asking price reflects an already-built and operational SaaS with €9K in historical revenue, €500 current MRR, €1.2K peak MRR, 18 paying customers, and 800+ registered users. The business also has very low operating costs (~€40/month in AI/API costs).

Reason for Selling

I’m selling it because I’m currently focused on other projects and don’t have enough time to actively grow the business. It is already built, operational, and generating recurring revenue, but it would benefit from a new owner who can dedicate more time to it.

Growth Opportunity

The main growth opportunity is to restart customer acquisition, which has been largely inactive since May. The SaaS previously acquired customers through word-of-mouth and affiliate partnerships. Four previous affiliates can potentially be reactivated.
