Indie developer Marc Lou shares that his solo startup marketplace TrustMRR has reached $44k in monthly recurring revenue with a 90% profit margin.
The platform hit an all-time high of 210K monthly unique visitors and facilitated 23 acquisitions in July alone. Lou also noted nearly 1 million AI bot crawls on the site. He predicts that by 2036, buying internet businesses will be handled by AI agents rather than via HTML pages, which is the future vision for TrustMRR.
