Overview
<p><b>Startup Description</b></p><p>My platform is a "Gen Z first" study platform that automatically converts boring PDFs into high-dopamine study formats: Subway-surfer style "Brainrot" videos, interactive quizzes, and gamified flashcards.</p><p>I started this project to crack the retention problem in EdTech. While competitors offer boring chat interfaces, my platform uses a gamification engine to keep users addicted to studying. In just 4 months, we grew to 10,000 users purely through SEO and word-of-mouth - Main Users are in Europe and US/Canada - high value markets.</p><p><b>Key highlights:</b></p><ul>
<li><b>User Base:</b> 10,000 Registered Users (100% Organic).</li>
<li><b>Growth:</b> ~1,000 new users per week.</li>
<li><b>SEO Dominance:</b> Ranking #2 globally for the keywords.</li>
<li><b>Engagement:</b> 50% Activation Rate on new signups.</li>
<li><b>Untapped Revenue:</b> Currently generating ~$420/mo, but blocking ~$600/mo in additional sales due to a geo-restricted European payment gateway rejecting US cards.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Team</b></p><ul>
<li><b>1 Founder (Seller):</b> Handled Full-stack development, UI/UX, and SEO. The project is fully automated and requires <2 hours of maintenance per week.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul>
<li><b>Frontend:</b> Next.js / React / Tailwind CSS (Clean, modular code).</li>
<li><b>Backend:</b> Node.js</li>
<li><b>AI:</b> OpenAI API & Custom wrappers for video generation.</li>
<li><b>Database:</b> Supabase / PostgreSQL.</li>
<li><b>Payments:</b> Stripe (Currently EU-based).</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>We spent <b>$0.00 on Ads.</b> All growth is driven by:</p><ul>
<li><b>SEO:</b> High-intent keywords.</li>
<li><b>Viral Loop:</b> Students share the "Brainrot" videos on TikTok/Instagram, driving referral traffic.</li>
<li><b>Lead Magents:</b> Free trial mechanism that converts traffic into 10k signups.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><ul>
<li><b>Current revenue (30D):</b> ~$368 (Verified).</li>
<li><b>Gross Demand:</b> ~$1,000/mo (Verifiable via Stripe logs showing failed US transactions).</li>
<li><b>Profit Margin:</b> ~70% (Main costs are server/API usage).</li>
<li><b>CAC:</b> $0 (Organic).</li>
<li><b>LTV:</b> High potential due to annual plan preference (85% of sales are Annual).</li>
<li><b>Churn:</b> <less than 20% (Most users are on fresh annual plans).</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>The buyer can immediately increase revenue by <b>2.5x</b> simply by connecting a US/Global Stripe account to accept the ~60% of transactions currently failing due to my local bank restrictions.
Long term: With 10k users and $0 CAC, turning on paid ads ($5k spend) could easily scale this to $10k MRR given the proven conversion rate.</p><p><b>Startup assets</b></p><ul>
<li><b>Codebase:</b> Complete IP and Source Code (Github).</li>
<li><b>User Database:</b> 10,000 registered students (Emails & Data).</li>
<li><b>Domain:</b> High domain authority.</li>
<li><b>SEO Assets:</b> High-ranking blog posts and indexed pages driving 5k clicks/mo.</li>
<li><b>Branding:</b> Logo, Mascot, and UI Design Syste</li>
</ul>

Number of Customers
Expenses
$160/month for APIs, elevenlabs, OpenAI + video generation.
$0 for hosting and database.
Business Model
Monthly and yearly subscription plans - main purchases are yearly.
Target Audience
Gen Z High School and University students (ages 15-24) who struggle with attention span and find traditional tools like Quizlet too text-heavy. Primary markets: Germany, UK, and US.
Asking Price Reasoning
Users: 10k organic users = ~$30k value (at $3 CPA). Tech: Gamification engine & code = ~$25k dev value. Upside: Fix the blocked US payment gateway to instantly unlock 2.5x revenue. You pay <$6/user.
Reason for Selling
Pivoting to B2B. App has organic PMF (10k users, $0 spend) but needs focus. Selling to a buyer who can fix the payment gateway (currently blocking US cards) and turn on ads. I built the growth engine; you just need to monetize it.
Growth Opportunity
Unlock US Revenue: Fix the current EU-payment gateway issue to capture the ~60% of US transactions currently being declined. Paid Ads: We have spent $0 on ads. With a validated product and $0 CAC, paid social (TikTok/IG) is ready to scale.
30 days free support from seller
Competitors
StudyFetch (Main competitor), Quizlet (Legacy), Knowunity. Advantage: We are the only ones focusing on "Gamification" and "Brainrot" learning styles, which increases retention compared to their standard chat interfaces.
