Sold His App for $20K Within 48 Hours of Launching

🚀 Josh Schneider launched an app a couple of weeks back…

Introducing looseleaf.ai!

Had a blast building my first app with @OpenAI & @LangChainAI. Looseleaf lets you chat with any document.

So you can upload a PDF document, for example, and then use a ChatGPT-like interface to chat with it. Useful when you have a big long document and don’t want to read through the whole thing to find something specific.

The cool part: less than 24 hours after launching, and with $0 in revenue, Josh sold the app for $20,000 via the acquire.com marketplace 💰

Damon Chen was the buyer of the app, and it’s now PDF.ai. Looks like it’s still free to use but he will likely introduce paid plans soon.

I’ve featured Damon a couple of times in this newsletter before 👇

• $0 to $150k ARR in 13 Months
• $600/Month From 2 Typo Domains

Back to Josh, and it looks like he was able to build and launch quickly in large part due to his weapons of choice 🛠…

Deciding to use @nextjs +@vercel was a no brainer.

Another developer responded…

Next.js + Vercel tooling is a game-changer for solopreneurs.

Never been this easy to build and ship *complex* stuff fast

If you want to get started building apps like this yourself, here’s a good 25-minute video intro…

With some deep practice, you might be able to spin up a quick application like Josh and flip it for $20k in a matter of days 😎
