<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My platform is an AI-powered oral exam simulator tailored specifically for the Polish <i>"Matura ustna"</i>—the high-stakes oral graduation exam taken by approximately 270,000 students annually. The platform allows students to simulate real exam environments by speaking with an AI examiner that pulls authentic questions, evaluates responses in real-time, and provides actionable feedback on content, fluency, and sentence structure.</p><p><b>Development &amp; Launch Timeline</b> </p><p>Built entirely solo in just 4 days using Claude Code, the platform was strategically launched 6 weeks ahead of the May 2026 Matura exam period.</p><p><b>Growth &amp; Financial Highlights</b></p><ul> <li><b>Revenue:</b> Generated <b>18,278 PLN (~$4,500 USD)</b> in gross revenue within its first 6 weeks.</li> <li><b>Margins:</b> Operating at an elite <b>86% profit margin</b>.</li> <li><b>Acquisition:</b> Driven by <b>100% organic distribution via TikTok</b>, tapping into viral content centered around student exam stress during the peak prep season.</li> </ul> <p><b>Key highlights:</b></p><ul> <li>Annual revenue (peak season Apr-May 2026): $4,500 USD / 18,278 PLN</li> <li>Annual profit (after OpenAI + Vercel + domain): ~$3,900 / 15,700 PLN</li> <li>Business margin: 86%</li> <li>Average transaction: $13 / 52 PLN</li> <li>Total transactions: 335 successful (350 attempted)</li> <li>Payment methods: 70%+ BLIK (Polish instant payment), rest cards</li> <li>Refund rate: 2.1% (7 refunds out of 335)</li> <li>Customer database: 1,600+ verified emails</li> <li>Operating cost: ~$130/month during peak, ~$30/month off-season.</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>Solo founder.
