$81K/Month From a Hebrew-Only Calorie App

Tomer Cnaan is 23 years old, from Tel Aviv.

Last month he made $81,108 from a calorie counting app that only serves Israelis 🤑

It’s a smart bit of geo-arbitrage…

You see an app taking off in one country and then make a version for your own country, in your own language. Super smart.

The original is Cal AI – the snap-a-photo-of-your-meal calorie tracker dominating the App Store. English-language clones are everywhere now 🚀

Tomer skipped the bloodbath.

He built his version in Hebrew, with a database of thousands of common Israeli foods (hummus, schnitzel, jachnun) that English apps don’t recognise 👀

He’s already moving on…

Growth slowed down a little. For the first time since launching 9 months ago, most of my effort went into new ventures.

Plenty of language markets are still wide open – Vietnamese, European Portuguese, Greek, Hungarian. Take your pick 🔥

If you only speak English, could you find a partner in another country ripe for this playbook?
