http://imgfave.com - YC company. 100k daily pageviews. http://backerpass.com - Monthly funding platform for artists and creators. ~$200/month currently going to creators. http://followfridayapp.com - Web, iOS, Android. Doesn't work currently because Instagram restricted their API. Could be rebranded into an app focused on selecting your own photos (something like 2016bestnine.com). http://facebook.com/youtubesearchbo…

Does imgfave make any money? Surprised to hear it's a YC company. I remember it.

Yup, YC S12. It does, but it's hard to cover CDN costs these days. CDN costs have gone up, mostly due to gifs, and ad rates have fallen over the past few years. Never quite got to the size where I could do direct brand deals for higher CPMs.

http://choosejarvis.com -- social media scheduling tool with content recommendations powered by buzzsumo. 1k MRR steady for the past 6 months or so. Written in PHP. Very stable. would sell in a heartbeat for 50k and would consider lower offers.

https://repo0.com/ - Unlimited Git hosting using your Google Drive account. Just getting started on marketing.

What's the reason to use this rather than use bitbucket?

I appreciate the question. I totally agree that bitbucket is the main competition in the free git hosting space.

My best answer to that is that Repo0 is only limited by the amount of storage you have on your Google drive account. I have 1TB of space on Google Drive which is a lot more than you can store on bitbucket. There is also no limit on number of users, teams or sharing.

A different answer is that with Repo0 your data is not walled off on a server. You can see the data, download it and see when the app makes changes to it.

https://SignalBox.ai/ Reach out and let's chat

This has potential... but without a lower price point and the ability to run some free testing against it I think user growth will be severely constrained.

Willing to hear and entertain offers for my startup Commando.io which is SaaS ( https://commando.io ). Profitable, with solid MRR. Looking for 2.5 - 3.5x annual revenue (so offers > 40k and https://elasticbyte.net ). Contact info: hello at domain.

2-3x ARR is VERY CHEAP for SAAS tools
