For context: across 10,150 products listing verified revenue on TrustMRR, the median makes about $30 a month and about 5% make more than $8k (analysis, Sept 2026). The odds above assume the founder conditions below are met and the narrowed version is built, so they sit well above that all-comers rate. Why.
How many months at the plan’s pace
At $115/month per customer and 2% monthly churn, adding the customers the plan needs for its month-24 checkpoint. Change any of it in the what-if model.
| MRR | ~15 hrs/week | Full-time |
|---|---|---|
| $1k | 5 mo | 2 mo |
| $3k | 15 mo | 6 mo |
| $5k | 2 yr 5 mo | 10 mo |
| $10k | 8 yr 5 mo | 22 mo |
| $20k | not reached | 4 yr 11 mo |
| $50k | not reached | not reached |
This works only if you…
1. Access to venues(missing it: odds × 0.5)
You, a partner or a paid advisor have worked as a venue coordinator, wedding planner or event caterer, and can get 10 venue owners or coordinators on the phone within 30 days. Without this, multiply every recommended figure by ~0.5.
2. Sell before building
5 venues paying ≥$49 a month by day 45 for a hands-on service: you collect and check the COIs for their next 10 events by hand. This is the kill test. Miss it and stop.
3. Liability rails before the first paying customer(missing it: odds × 0.7)
A tech E&O policy, terms that cap liability, and product wording that never says "compliant" or "insured". You must be willing to pay for this and accept it.
4. Hours per week available(missing it: odds × 0.7)
, stated honestly up front, with at least 5 of them in US business hours for calls. The two columns above are different plans, not one plan run faster.
