  • Founder of Construction Wave
  • $13,000 from one sponsorship

They cover the 🇬🇧 UK construction industry and send out a daily newsletter.

Andrew Curtin started the business in 2022. He has a background in marketing and advertising, knew about the construction industry via his father.

Andrew talks about growing the business in a recent interview on YouTube 💬…

His first revenue came from a cold call to a crane company right after he launched. They gave him a £10K sponsorship ($13K USD)…

I just think they felt sorry for me.

Nowadays they monetize with newsletter sponsors, sponsored webinars (£7-15K rev each) and an annual conference (£150K rev in 2023) 💰

Doesn’t sound like they’re super-profitable yet, but they’re growing nicely.

Think of this as building TechCrunch for a particular niche.

TechCrunch is a media company covering startups and tech, estimated $68M annual revenue.

Is there an industry you could become the TechCrunch of? 🧐
