Starter Story - $12K/mo AI App for grandmas

Hey it's Pat ––

Before we jump in, I want to celebrate some cool sh*t people are building inside Starter Story Academy:

First, Giorgio and Marco built Creative's Compendium: a newsletter about creativity and focus. In just a few days they've gotten their first subscribers and are growing!

Second, Shima built UnderlineU: a coaching platform she's been building for a few months. She's CRUSHING IT: 41 coaching clients. 850 newsletter subs. 6500 LinkedIn followers. 2 podcast interviews. 2 journal interviews. AMAZING!

Last, Serge started Schema UI: a CMS micro-saas. Serge validated, built, and collaborated with people inside Academy. And just this week he had a semi-viral tweet get him over 1K impressions.

There are so many more examples of people changing their lives inside Academy.

Today: 5 business ideas that'll blow your mind.

Welcome to Sunday Breakfast!

1. The Orange Juice 🍊

He built a $12K/mo AI app for grandmas 😆

So here are two words you never thought would crossover:

AI + grandmas

But this guy found the sweet spot.

90% of his customers are over 65 years old.

He started it with just $500

Best part? He grew it inside Starter Story Academy.

Check out his breakdown here.

2. The Coffee ☕

Really smart $20K/mo micro-saas

Here’s a simple framework for building a business:

1. Find a $1B product.
2. build a micro-saas version of it.

We have 1000s of examples inside Starter Story.

This is one of our favs ↓

37 Days: What are you building?

Most people are already punting their goals to “next year.”

But you’re not most people.

In Starter Story Academy, we’ll help you:

– Validate your idea
– Build your MVP
– Launch it into the world

All before the year is over.

This isn’t about waiting for January.

It’s about making progress right now while everyone else is waiting for “someday.”

3. The Eggs 🍳

High schooler built an app with 20K users

This kid gets it:

– find personal problems
– build as fast as possible
– share the journey online

Results?

– 20K users
– few $100 bucks on the side
– skills he will use forever

It’s never too early to build

4. The Toast 🥪

$1M/year business off one trend

Sometimes you need a big strategic plan.

Other times you just gotta find the right wave.

This guy saw one trend online and quickly spun up an MVP.

In literally one year he grew it from 0 to $44K MRR

And it’s still exploding – now at $99K MRR 🤯

See how he built this awesome business

5. The Pancakes 🥞

This $40M/year company is insane 🫢

Now, this is the type of company everyone should aspire to build.

In fact, I modeled Starter Story off of it:

– $40M revenue
– 100% bootstrapped
– 5.1M email subs
– Team size: ~18 ($2.2M/employee)
– Traffic: 10M/mo
– Growth: SEO, Paid ads, and YouTube

The craziest part is that he shared all the secrets with us.

Read it all right here

That's it!

I hope you have the best Sunday, and are getting ready for a great week ahead!
