Yooo, it’s Jaisal. Welcome back to This Week in Tiny Startups #66.

I attended a small drinks event for founders in London last week and it was incredible to see so many ambitious people in one place. Ran into a few subscribers of Tiny Startups which was awesome! :)

A tiny update

I love a good monthly revenue update, especially when all the numbers are green ;)

Tiny Startups made over $5,600 in May, up from ~$4,970 in April. A pretty decent month for my side project but I’d love to hit $10k/month from this. I don’t have a concrete plan of action yet — but I think a majority of future revenue will come from services.

A drawback is that this is not recurring revenue, and I start from $0 every month. But that’s just the nature of the game.

Dries made €10.4k last month from his “pet project”

Dries made €10.4k last month (that’s around $11.8k for my American friends) from UniHosted (featured above) which provides managed UniFi hosting for MSPs. A fairly technical niche, and from the looks of it a very lucrative one.

OneTap crossed 35,000 users

Aj crossed 35,000 users for OneTap — a “copy and paste clipboard app”. The app makes around $2k/month from premium subscriptions + lifetime plans, and has over 2,430 paying customers.

Read more about how Aj’s growing OneTap.

Guidejar is now a $50k ARR startup

Guidejar (featured above) helps anyone create AI powered interactive demos and step-by-step user guides, and makes over $50,000 in ARR. I’ve been following Shri’s journey for a while now and featured him multiple times in this newsletter. It’s been incredible to follow his journey and wishing him 10x success.

Julia is shutting down Comica

Julia is shutting down Comica — a fun website that uses AI to turn text into comic carousels. The idea was pretty cool, but not sure what their monetisation + growth strategy was.

It’s always a hard decision to shut down a project, though I haven’t seen a specific reason as to why they chose to shut it down. Maybe a lack of MRR forced their hand?

I’d still recommend trying to sell the project instead of shutting it down completely.

Darius won #1 Product of the Week on Tiny Startups

Last week was an incredible launch week for us with some amazing projects competing. Darius managed to win #1 Product of the Week on the Tiny Startups leaderboard which drove a lot more traffic and brand recognition for tiny supply.

I love supporting other founders and makers, and seeing posts like this makes my day.

Darius even made a custom “winner” badge to showcase on his website. How cool is that!?

Adrianna is investing $100k-$250k in tiny startups

This looks like an incredible opportunity if you’re looking to raise some early capital (between $100k-$250k) for your startup. I would apply myself but looks like it’s only open to “students, new grads, and dropouts” although I might narrowly meet the definition of a dropout.
