Each app has 100k+ monthly users and makes $1M-5M/yr. Never underestimate the kids."
Anderson, Yadegari's co-founder, had a similar early start."I built a few small projects, but then met Zach, and we built Cal AI together, which is currently doing 8 million in annual recurring revenue," says Anderson.Anderson and Yadegari attribute their success to a unique approach to marketing and product development."The primary thing that has made these apps work is our marketing strategy as well as sort of product ideation," Anderson explains.
Yadegari adds,"Don't overcomplicate the technologies you use. You don't want to use something that's very low level. You want to use a very high-level programming language, something simple like maybe just Python or Node.js." This compounding effect is further amplified by network effects within the influencer community."The more influencers you have, the generally more influencers will be referred to you by your current influencers," Yadegari notes.Anderson takes a nuanced approach to pricing, challenging the common practice of optimizing solely for LTV multiplied by conversion rate."I believe that you should assign greater value to the number of people that subscribe," he explains.
