How to read this entry

The figure on this entry is quoted as the source stated it: “$23,984 MRR (Stripe API-verified on TrustMRR); $383,425 all-time revenue.” Attribution on file: TrustMRR verified-revenue page (read-only Stripe key), checked Oct 15, 2026.

Grade A means A payment-processor verification, a public record, or rates the payer published. Not a single social post. The verification note says: Primary proof checked: TrustMRR page shows 'verified with Stripe API key', last updated Oct 15, 2026. Earlier aggregator figure was $17,238 Stripe-verified MRR (TrustMRR); founder reports $301,198 gross product revenue in 9 months (Made With Models). Grade A kept. Audit: verified figure is company MRR, not profit and not proof of agent-generated income. That is someone else's result. It is not a forecast, and it is not an offer of the same income to you.

Not disclosed by source: startup cost, ongoing cost, hours per week.

Difficulty is 3 of 5. Time to first dollar: 3 days: ad spots sold out for $20,378 within three days of launch (Marc Lou, self-reported). These describe the write-up, not a schedule we are assigning you.

Risks named for this entry: Founder had big X audience (launch post 2.9M views); Most directories get no traffic.

Skills the write-up depends on: building, audience on X.

Tools named in the source: Cursor, Stripe. A tool tag is not an endorsement, a price quote, or an affiliate offer.

Last verified Oct 15, 2026. A newer primary source is what keeps a grade A entry current. A retelling, a sponsor, or how appealing the idea sounds does not raise or protect the grade.

Risks

  • Most directories get no traffic

Skills

  • audience on X
