Tyler Denk, co-founder and CEO of beehiiv, shared a massive milestone on X, announcing that the newsletter platform has officially crossed $3M in MRR. What is most impressive is the accelerating velocity of their growth: it took 36 months to go from $0 to $1M, 16 months to reach $2M, and a mere 9 months to hit $3M. The platform is now adding an astonishing $100k in MRR roughly every 2.5 weeks.

Twenty-year-old B2C app builder Jul hit the ground running with his very first app, racking up 4,000 downloads and securing over 100 subscriptions in just 15 days. His entire acquisition strategy relied completely on organic TikTok slideshows. While his building journey still includes classic indie hurdles—like spending all day configuring AppsFlyer and PostHog only to have his TestFlight build crash upon launch—his early marketing success is undeniable.

Rome-based SaaS builder Leo Mercer shared a refreshingly honest Day 28 update on his "build in public" journey. Currently sitting at 0 users and $0 MRR, Leo is leaning into the hustle, actively growing his audience to nearly 1,700 followers on X. He is deep in a development sprint for a new voice AI agent with a public launch targeted for the end of November. On top of his main product, he is quietly dedicating 2–3 hours a day to secret side projects that he plans to drop all at once when they are fully polished.

AppKittie founder Jacob Rodri spotted another massive early-stage winner, highlighting a Christian app that has reached an estimated $90,000 in monthly recurring revenue just 40 days after launch. The app, "HolyNote: Sermon Notes," uses AI to help users take and organize notes during sermons, racking up an impressive 162,000 monthly downloads in the process. As Jacob noted, the amount of money flowing into this specific market is "crazy".

Consumer app founder Tommy just hit a major financial milestone right out of the gate. At just 18 years old, he launched his very first app exactly two months ago and has already scaled it to a profitable $5,003 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR). Operating with a bit of mystery, he has promised to publicly reveal the name of the successful app once his X account hits 5,000 followers.

Madrid-based builder Ehsan dropped a highly relatable milestone announcement on X, declaring that he officially crossed $10,000 in Monthly Recurring Revenue last night. The secret to his sudden success? As he hilariously clarified: "scrolled through $10k MRR posts on X, went to sleep, and had a very nice dream".
