<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>The idea came from my own observation: I watched too many founders waste months building products nobody actually wanted.</p><p>I come from the cold calling world. I ran a virtual call center agency for the last 3 years, doing $1.5M+ in lifetime revenue, and the one pattern I saw on repeat was builders shipping with zero evidence anyone wanted the thing. Shower thoughts turning into 6 months of wasted code.</p><p>My tool scrapes Reddit and Hacker News daily, pulls real user complaints and pain points, scores each one across 10 dimensions (market size, urgency, willingness to pay, competition, execution difficulty, etc), and generates a full business blueprint the buyer can execute. no guessing. no hoping. real problems, scored, ranked, ready to build against.</p><p>I launched publicly in February 2026 and hit 1,100+ users by April 20, 2026. That's under 2.5 months, 100% organic, zero ad spend.</p><p><b>Key highlights:</b></p><ul> <li>1,100+ registered users acquired in under 2.5 months, all organic</li> <li>$408+ in revenue over the last 60 days, trending up month over month</li> <li>MRR is $95/mo right now</li> <li>~$0 CAC (pure organic distribution, no paid spend ever)</li> <li>~60-70% gross margin</li> <li>SEO traffic from google just started compounding, signups coming in from search as of this month</li> <li>Premium .ai domain included</li> <li>Built on battle-tested stack (next.js 14, supabase, lemon squeezy)</li> <li>Full codebase, scraping pipeline, scoring rubric, and AI blueprint engine included</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>Solo founder operation. I built the product, handled marketing, ran support, and managed ops.</p><p>Why this is good for a buyer: no cofounder to buy out, no employee equity to figure out, no team politics, no "the dev left and nobody knows how X works" risk. The codebase is clean because one person wrote it. Every process is documented. A technical buyer takes over in a weekend. a non-technical buyer hires a $25-40/hr dev and runs it without drama.</p><p><b>Tech stack</b></p><ul> <li>Frontend: Next.js 14 (app router), tailwindcss, framer motion for animations</li> <li>Backend: Supabase (Postgres, auth, row-level security, edge functions)</li> <li>Hosting: Vercel (currently free tier, scales as revenue grows)</li> <li>Payments: Lemon Squeezy (merchant of record, handles VAT and global tax compliance automatically)</li> <li>Email: Resend (transactional + lifecycle drip sequences)</li> <li>AI layer: anthropic claude API for blueprint generation, pain scoring, and idea synthesis</li> <li>Scraping pipeline: custom workers running daily via cron, hitting Reddit + HN APIs, deduplicating, scoring, inserting into Supabase</li> </ul> <p>The scraping pipeline is the real moat. Months of work went into building it right. Dedup logic, rate limiting, subreddit targeting, scoring rubric, and prompt engineering for the blueprint generator. Everything else is mainstream SaaS infra that any competent dev can maintain.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>100% organic.</p><p>Untapped channels the buyer can layer on:</p><ul> <li>YouTube (idea validation content performs extremely well in this niche, not a single video made yet)</li> <li>Twitter/X build-in-public plays (this audience lives there, completely untouched)</li> <li>Affiliate program (indie hackers and content creators would happily promote for 30-50% rev share)</li> <li>Product Hunt relaunch with v2 features</li> <li>Newsletter partnerships with indie hacker and solopreneur publications.</li> </ul> <p>I also have a documented list of product features and growth ideas that can realistically push MRR into the $2-3K/month range within 6-9 months. I'll share the full roadmap with serious buyers on the diligence call.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><ul> <li>Revenue last 60 days: $408.12</li> <li>MRR (current): ~$95, trending up</li> <li>60-day order count: 84 new orders</li> <li>average order value: $10.62</li> <li>Pricing tiers: pro $19/month (3 projects, 3 sniper alerts, 8 saved ideas) and pro+ $49/month (unlimited everything)</li> <li>Monthly operating costs: ~$30-50 (supabase, vercel, anthropic API, resend, domain amortized)</li> <li>Gross margin: ~60-70%</li> <li>LTV: estimated $40-60 in current cohort, improving as product matures</li> <li>CAC: effectively $0, all traffic is organic</li> </ul> <p><b>Revenue trajectory: </b>MRR was under $30 sixty days ago. It's closing on $100 today. That's roughly 3-4x growth in two months with zero marketing spend. The content engine is still running, and SEO has just started kicking in.</p><p><b>ROI</b></p><p>At current MRR (~$100) and 65% gross margin, the monthly profit sits around $65.</p><p>But nobody buys a growing saas to sit on it. real ROI comes from:</p><ul> <li>Layering on untapped channels. YouTube, Twitter, affiliate alone can realistically double MRR inside 60-90 days.</li> <li>Riding the SEO compounding curve that just started landing signups.</li> <li>Raising prices. pro at $19 is underpriced. Competitors charge $29-$49 for less. A price test alone could add 15%-25% to MRR overnight.</li> <li>Executing the documented roadmap: i'll share with serious buyers. The features and growth plays. I've scoped can realistically push MRR into $2-3K/month within 6-9 months.</li> </ul> <p>Growth rate for the first 2.5 months is already 3-4x bi-monthly with zero paid spend. A buyer who actually works this can hit $500-1000 MRR within 4-6 months using only the existing distribution engine. At $500 MRR, payback drops under 12 months. at $1,000, under 6. At the $2-3K range the roadmap points to this deal paying for itself inside a quarter.</p><p><b>Startup assets:</b></p><ul> <li>.ai premium domain (standalone value $2-4k on domain marketplaces)</li> <li>1,100+ registered users in the Supabase database (full emails, signup data, usage history)</li> <li>Active paying subscriber base generating current MRR</li> <li>Complete production codebase (Next.js 14 app, Supabase schema, edge functions, fully documented)</li> <li>Lemon Squeezy account + product handover (existing subscriptions transfer with the sale, buyer takes over billing)</li> <li>Custom daily scraping pipeline (Reddit + HN, fully automated, running right now)</li> <li>Proprietary 10-dimension scoring rubric (the logic that ranks problems)</li> <li>AI blueprint generation engine (prompt chains, templates, output formatters)</li> <li>Database of thousands of pre-scored ideas (buyer doesn't start empty)</li> <li>Email infrastructure via Resend (transactional templates + lifecycle drip sequences)</li> <li>Complete marketing playbook (channels, content templates, posting cadence, hook library, the exact tactics that drove 1100+ organic users)</li> <li>Documented growth roadmap (product features, expansion channels, pricing strategies I've scoped for the $2-3K MRR target)</li> <li>Admin dashboard for user management, analytics, and moderation</li> <li>SOP docs for every repeatable process (scraping, deployment, support, content)</li> <li>30 days of founder transition support, direct access to me, i'll get you fully operational</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><ul> <li>Solo operator dependency. If the buyer isn't technical, they'll need to hire someone to maintain the codebase. <b>Mitigation</b> is simple though. The stack is mainstream (Next.js + Supabase), everything is documented, and freelance devs who can handle it cost $25-40/hr. Most buyers pair this with a part-time dev and it runs itself.</li> <li>Anthropic API dependency for blueprint generation. If anthropic changes pricing or access, margins could shift. In practice, the code is provider-agnostic and can swap to openai, gemini, or deepseek in a few hours. Not a real blocker, just worth flagging.</li> </ul> <p>That's it. The product is stable, the infrastructure is solid, and the growth is organic and compounding. This isn't a hair-on-fire situation where the buyer inherits a mess.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>Everyone is building AI apps and SaaS products right now. They all need the same thing: ideas backed by real evidence instead of shower thoughts.</p><p><b>Why I'm selling:</b></p><p>My primary business is a virtual call center agency doing $30K+/month that demands my full attention. This platform deserves an operator who can focus on it 100%. I'm not distressed. I'm not desperate. I just can't give it the time it needs to hit its ceiling, and the right buyer can.</p><p>The product works. The traffic works. The story works.
