Team

1–1

high confidence · ToS: operated by Jonathan Wilke, sole proprietor (Einzelunternehmer)

Raised

Bootstrapped

medium confidence · Side project; no funding found; $100K acquisition offer declined

Revenue / yr

$15k–$120k

low confidence · Lifetime $266,443 (site counter, Oct 18, 2026), mostly from launch week. Forward pace: 4–11 new listings a day in Oct 2026, mostly $10–$50, plus raises

Risk of shutting down within 12 months

30%

  • New listings fell from 381 on Aug 21, 2026 to 4–11 a day in Oct 2026
  • Hundreds of copycats split the novelty
  • Solo side project, but cheap to run and tied to the founder's main business
