From idea to $10K MRR in 6 weeks

Marcus had a fitness app idea but no technical skills. Alex Rivera Staytraded at his Austin loft for 4 weeks and built the entire MVP. Today, FitTrack has over 5,000 paying subscribers.

"I went from a napkin sketch to a real product with paying customers. The Staytrade model aligned our incentives perfectly."
