Odds of reaching each MRR level by month 24

Odds of reaching each MRR level by month 24, at about 15 hours a week and full-time, with the founder conditions met. Judgment estimates, not statistical probabilities.

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 $30/month per customer and 3% monthly churn, adding the customers the plan needs for its month-24 checkpoint. Change any of it in the what-if model.

This works only if you…

  1. 1. German fluency(missing it: odds × 0.6)

    (yours or a paid partner's) plus a paid data-protection review of your AVV, subprocessor list and technical measures (TOMs). DACH agencies search, buy and sign in German.

  2. 2. Direct access to 30 DACH web agencies in month 1(missing it: odds × 0.6)

    : warm network, a meetup or Slack community, or a hand-built outbound list.

  3. 3. 5 agencies paying ≥€39 a month by day 45(missing it: odds × 0.6)

    , before you build anything beyond the core endpoint, and the same hours per week held for 24 months.
