Be the customer. A niche pain she lived firsthand, sold back as recurring dues. The real moat is her face and community — which is also the fragile part.

Revenue is founder-stated: about $165K/mo (roughly $2M/yr) in a Dec 2021 Starter Story interview — the last cleanly attributable figure, so STATED but not independently confirmed. Price has since risen to $74/mo and secondary sources describe multi-7 to 8-figure ARR, but current revenue is not first-party disclosed, so I did not assert it. Member counts vary by source (about 5,400 paying per 2024 press, 15,000+ agents helped per her LinkedIn, 25,000+ on the free 'Coffee Drip' tier). Origin (bartender-realtor, Canva templates on Etsy), the subscription pivot, and pricing history ($19 to $34 to $54 to $74) are documented. The moat read — that the durable wall is her personal brand and community, not the copyable files — is our inference, tagged as such. It's a content-heavy membership but delivered as a self-serve subscription platform (in scope). We never score you.
