My Startup Founder Report.
January Was My Best Month Ever.
👉 unicornplatform.com got 16,482 new users signing up, reaching $250k MRR. I've never had such growth on an existing product. I know crystal clear how to 10x it to $2.5M ARR.
👉 seobotai.com is doubling revenue every month. The demand is huge, but we still send most users to the waitlist, to make sure we reach our mission: generate blog content that's the same or better than an average human. I have no doubts seobot alone will turn into a unicorn-sized project, since we have no competitors. All other AI SEO tools are as far from our tech as an ant's brain is from a human's brain.
👉 indexrusher.com is selling LTDs (aka once) very well. I'm turning it into an SEO wizard, that will quickly help any website to rank better and fix all low-hanging SEO fruits which are present on 99% of the websites on the internet. It's not just the indexing, but 50 more little things which IndexRusher will find, debug, and give precise instructions on how to fix.
👉 listingbott.com is growing faster than we can accommodate for. Ramping up the resources and the team now. There is no better way to spend $499 in the whole startup world than getting 100 backlinks which ramp up the Domain Rating (very good for SEO) and drive direct traffic/clicks. In fact, the value of it is 5-10x higher than $499. I will raise the price 2-5x after beta.
👉 allgpts.co is being monetized by sponsored ads. nextjsstarter.com and osssoftware.org is monetized too with boosted listings. I'm working on a directory network for ads, sponsors, and monetization. Launching in Feb.
👉 devhunt.org has accomplished its mission. It's defacto the best launchpad in the world for dev tools. It's not me saying, it's the community. All best tools are launching here, huge number of social mentions and word of mouth. The job is done. It's officially #2 launchpad, that will be #1 for devs by the end of this year.
I'm considering launching generic launchpad soon, not just for devs, but direct competitor for Product Hunt. I saw few other makers launching something similar, but they pursue commercial model. I dont think it will work. The best launchpad in the world must be 100% free and non profit, just like @devhunt_ . Anything else will degenerate right where Product Hunt fell in.
👉 New Project Acquisition.
I'm acquring a new very popular product. It's a strategic acquisition. I will anounce the details soon.
👉 I launch 4 new projects in Feb. I didn't expect things to accelerate so fast with the project I launched in Jan, so I had to postpone a few other releases.
👉 Growth is Pain sometimes.
I wasn't ready for such a quick growth. I'm both happy and exacusted. But I know what to do and how to scale, I've rumped up my team, found my contractors and outsourced more of the tasks both to humans and to new AI agents. While doing this, as always, I've came up with new project ideas. I love the pain, it always helps with ideas to solve the pain.
👉 I Was Much less active here, didn't do my long posts for a week.
I'll be back to this in a week.
Had to spend time with my family,
I got my third baby born and my father birthday.
I didn't read X for a week, I hope everyone is doing great. Let's keep moving the world forward!

Correction: I misspelled. It’s 250k ARR instead of MRR.
