TrustMRR
A startup leaderboard where every revenue number is verified straight from Stripe.
What it is
Founders connect a read-only payment-provider key and TrustMRR shows their real revenue. It grew from a leaderboard into a marketplace for buying and selling small startups, earning from ad spots and a fee on sales.
How it was built with AI
Marc Lou says he opened Cursor, asked it to build a place where founders verify revenue with a read-only key, and had a working leaderboard six hours later. He calls the project vibe-coded.
