Tradespeople already use WhatsApp all day on the job site, and many write quotes by hand or in a spreadsheet. Tutti puts the office work into that chat, so the customer has nothing new to install or learn. It sends messages through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform, which lets one founder run the service without a phone app as the main product.

It sold to large companies from the first months, together with a network of human mentors. An investor reported that it made €30,000 a month within a few months of launch. The founders then turned the mentoring business into a platform built on skills data and raised a €5.8 million Series A in 2025. The managing director of Techstars Torino reported €3.6M in annual recurring revenue in February 2026.

Large companies run many HR systems that do not share data. So a single case, such as a new hire, passes through several of them by hand. Ahron does not replace those systems; it connects to them, measures where cases wait, and places agents there. The founders had sold an earlier HR software company. The product is built on Celonis, a Munich process-mining company. Its partnership, the founder says, brings in requests from around the world.

The founders came from a company that did outsourced purchasing for other firms. So they knew which purchasing tasks were still done by hand in email and spreadsheets. Soource turned those tasks into agent workflows for large companies. One article from the South Summit Madrid 2026 conference reported 800K in annual recurring revenue and 58 enterprise customers. It gave no currency and did not say who gave the figure.

French renovation quotes depend on subsidy and tax rules that change every few months. The small firm that installs the equipment bears the risk of a wrong file. Argile puts those rules and the building calculation methods into the software. So a salesperson can give a detailed quote within an hour of a visit instead of weeks later.

Food distributors still take many orders by email, text message and phone and type them into old ERP systems by hand. The two founders worked inside a Boston seafood distributor for months to map that work before they built the product. Then they sold it themselves to large distributors. An a16z speedrun newsletter of January 2026 says one enterprise deal with a publicly traded distributor took their booked revenue past US$500,000.

A studio portrait needs a photographer, a booking and days of waiting. AI SuitUp sold the same result, a photo for LinkedIn or a résumé, for a one-time price from early 2023. The larger packs had a money-back guarantee. It narrowed the offer to one use, professional headshots, and then built a landing page for almost every profession and a version for company teams. Stripe records US$648,649 of payments in total, but only US$35,743 of it in the last 12 months. So most of the money came in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

It entered a market where people already paid for tools such as Taplio, and did the one core task better: writing the post. The founders' public posts brought the first customers and a lifetime-deal platform, and that deal paid for growth without investors. Subscriptions, partnerships with LinkedIn influencers, affiliates and a move to team plans came after.

It built a product that already sold well in English for Ukraine and Central and Eastern Europe: Ukrainian language, local dishes and lower local prices.

It serves one profession with one narrow need. The need is a client-ready picture of a design that is already modeled, without a GPU workstation or a rendering agency. Its payment processor says that the conversion rate doubled when the company changed to a checkout that worked for buyers outside India. It also says that paying customers came from more than 150 countries. Prices were cut from US$49 for 100 renders in August 2025 to US$9 to US$19 for a starter pack.

The first apps that combined OpenAI's Whisper and ChatGPT for voice notes appeared in 2023, and the founder found them "not implemented well enough". His team built a simpler one, and collected early users and feature requests through lifetime deals on AppSumo in 2024. In 2025 it grew with advertising and paywall tests measured in Adapty's subscription data.

A carousel needs both writing and design. Draft AI asks for a minute of speech instead and returns finished slides, plus scripts, threads and hooks from the same recording. It charges before the first result, so everyone who uses it has subscribed or started the trial of a paid plan.

People who plan a haircut or a new colour cannot see the result before the salon has done it. The app shows it on the user's own photo in seconds. It uses Google's Gemini model to analyse the hair and fal.ai to generate the image, as its privacy policy states. Revenue was close to zero until March 2026. In April 2026 the seller shipped a redesigned onboarding, a new paywall, a coin system and translations.

It turns a label that most shoppers cannot read into one personal number. The diets are ones that a general calorie app does not cover: low FODMAP, seed-oil-free, gluten-free, vegan. The store page says that analysis needs a subscription, so every active user pays. Verified revenue reached US$23,122 in its best month, February 2026, and US$178,939 in total, read from the app's billing account.

Its founders wrote some of the methods that the industry already used to run models cheaply, such as AWQ for 4-bit weights. They turned that research into a paid serving API. They proved the speed on a public benchmark and partnered with a cloud company that needed exactly that speed. Eleven months after its first public post, the partner agreed to buy it.
