Bro manually built a 40K investor database and launched on Product Hunt. First month: $4,000.
Rashid was raising for his own fintech startup, maxed out credit cards, and realized finding investors was brutal. So he turned his pain into a product.
That side project (AngelMatch) now does $29K MRR with 360 subscribers and a 33% trial conversion rate. He stacked two more databases on top (InvestorHunt + JournalistHunt) for a $32K/month portfolio.
The playbook:
Pick a painful B2B problem youāve lived
Build the database manually to start
Launch on Product Hunt for the first signal
Scale with programmatic SEO (half his revenue)
