Bro recruited his friends to build his app by offering a three-way revenue split, even though there was basically no revenue.
Meet Kyle. He was building Cardstock alone in a basement, watching his friends line up shifts at Kohl’s and a restaurant.
So he made them an offer: quit those jobs, come help, and we’ll split everything three ways. They didn’t even know how to code. He taught them.
They spent 2-3 years building together. Today Cardstock + Scanémon do over $120K/month combined:
Cardstock: ~15K subs, ~$75K MRR
Scanémon: ~3.4K subs, ~$17K MRR
