Case Overview & Background

Deven Bhooshan, an indie hacker from India who failed at several startups, launched Supergrow with a lifetime deal on RocketHub that brought $65,000 in three days. He says it now makes more than $19,000 a month from more than 800 recurring customers, about $230,000 a year, at a 60% to 70% profit margin.
