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

This works only if you…

  1. 1. Access to the buyer(missing it: odds × 0.65)

    you can reach 15 RIA owners or chief compliance officers, or 2–3 outsourced compliance consultants, within 3 weeks. Ideally one of them joins as a paid advisor (0.5–1% equity or a revenue share).

  2. 2. You can sell into the US(missing it: odds × 0.65)

    US business hours for calls, a US-billing setup (Stripe, US entity or Stripe Atlas), and a written security posture that passes a small firm's vendor due-diligence questionnaire.

  3. 3. A steady cadence for 24 months(missing it: odds × 0.65)

    a fixed number of hours per week available, support replies within one business day, a monthly release, and one compliance-lawyer review of the disclosure templates each year.
