324 Startups Making Real Money Right Now
I recently went down a bit of a rabbit hole and ended up building a list of 324 startups that are generating revenue right now. As you can imagine, AI startups dominate the list.
Here are a few that genuinely surprised me:
TwitterShots ($669 MRR, $5.7K total): Transforms tweets into share-ready visuals for Instagram and TikTok. Simple idea, clear value.
Comic Translator ($1K MRR, $5.7K total): Translates languages in comics. Niche but solves a real pain point for manga and comic fans worldwide.
Artadum ($232 MRR, $6K total): Creates wall art mockups, eliminating mindless repetitive tasks when promoting or selling artwork.
Mockly ($377 MRR, $7K total): Creates realistic chat, AI chat, social post, and email mockups in a browser-based editor.
Dari.Fyi ($3K MRR, $10.9K total): A language app to learn Silk Road languages, starting with Dari (the language of Afghanistan). Did nearly $11K in its first 30 days.
Textwork ($1.9K MRR, $16.6K total): AI for field reporting. Solves hidden business costs from incomplete data logging by field workers.
CheatMate ($9K MRR, $39K total): AI homework help via screenshare and in-person. Controversial? Maybe. Generating revenue? Definitely.
Dream Interpreter AI ($1.1K MRR, $39.8K total): A dream interpretation app. Been around since 2021 and has accumulated nearly $40K in total revenue.
DM Champ ($182K MRR, $159K total): White-label AI chatbot for sales docuted in private social media messages.
Rezi ($283K MRR, $8.75M total): AI resume builder. One of the OGs on the list, founded in 2015 and still crushing it with $260K in the last 30 days alone.
Stan ($3.6M MRR, $74.9M total): The Gumroad competitor. $2.8M in the last 30 days. The clear revenue king on this list.
Onigiri Anki ($31,214 total): Japanese AI flashcards. I have a feeling this would work just as well in any other language.
Hit me up if you want to access the full list.
Also, if you need help building an app like any of the above, be sure to reach out. I currently have space to work with another 1-2 clients at Kintu Labs.
Stay safe,
