<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>It provides real-time information on Stocks, Futures, Forex, and Options. It can’t tell you what’s going to move before it does—if it could, I’d be running the world’s first trillion-dollar hedge fund.</p><p>What it can do is tell traders what assets are moving as soon as they start to move—usually faster than your favorite legacy news service, and just in time to get you into trades with the smart money and ahead of the rest of the retail crowd.</p><p>This is something it does very well.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul><li>Annual Revenue: $10,376.30</li><li>Annual Profit: $8,546.30</li><li>Annual Churn rate: 9.91%</li><li>LTV: $1,200.73</li><li>CAC: $0.00</li><li>Business margin: 82.36%</li></ul><p><b>Team</b></p><p>This is a one person operation. I am the only one managing everything and it takes me only about 1-2 hours per day to get things setup and answer user emails etc.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>It runs on a no-code stack of Thinkorswim (TOS) ,  Zapier, Airtable  &amp; Softr.io</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>I have done no marketing at all. The users that I now have came from sending a few emails to another trading related newsletter at zero cost.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>Since launching in August 2024, things have gone really well. The business has grown to 121 users and brought in $10,376.30 in revenue, with $8,546.30 in profit — that’s a solid 82.36% margin.</p><p>Each user now pays either $99/year or $9.95/month and seem to be very comfortable at that price point.</p><p>I haven't done any marketing per se, so I don't know the true CAC yet. People seem to like the service too — the churn rate is just 9.91%, which means most users are sticking around. And on average, each user is worth about $1,200.73 over time.</p><p>Overall, it’s a super lean and efficient setup with a lot of room to grow.</p><p><b>Startup assets<b></b></b></p><ul><li>Email list with 121 subscribers</li><li>Gumroad account with payment profiles</li><li>Zapier workflow</li><li>Airtable Bases &amp; Tables</li><li>Softr.io account</li><li>Website Domain name &amp; Email</li><li>Written SOPs to show you how to set up the alerts for all assets</li></ul><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>You risk losing users and revenue by not providing consistent alerts. Another potential risk involves the Thinkorswim (TOS) platform. If TOS/Schwab starts limiting the number of alerts that can be set in the system, you’ll need to find an alternative. However, I don’t anticipate that happening anytime soon.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>This is a simple, straight forward business that is easy to operate and has low, predictable overheads. I am not good at marketing but if you have the knack for it you can grow this thing and have a nice steady side income for years to come.</p></br>✅ $10,376 in ARR✅ 121 customers✅ Business model: SaaS✅ Built with Zapier, Softr, Airtable
