Footly Hit $10K MRR in 70 Days. Here's Why the Filter Doesn't Apply.

Footly, an AI soccer coaching app built by 15-year-old serial founder Angel Stoevski, crossed $10K MRR just 70 days after launch. This teardown examines the product wedge (frame-by-frame AI video analysis vs. generic drill libraries), the freemium pricing mechanics, the influencer-led acquisition playbook, and the prior-exit unfair advantages that make this both an outlier and a blueprint.

How a Solo Founder Built WriteStack to $10K MRR: The Only Dedicated Scheduler for Substack Notes

A deep-dive teardown of WriteStack, the scheduling and analytics platform for Substack creators that crossed $10,000 MRR on May 31, 2026.

The article examines the product wedge ("only" vs. "better"), the three-tier annual-only pricing structure, which acquisition channels actually drive growth, a 600-day timeline across 12+ failed products, a six-item replication checklist, and an explicit accounting of the unfair advantages a cold-start founder cannot replicate.
