Revenue is founder-disclosed via Starter Story (about $82K MRR / $988K ARR, 2025) — self-reported in interviews with a connected dashboard, not audited filings. Purchase price ($25K, Feb 2021) and the Palworld surge ($43K to $75K MRR in 3 days, Jan 2024) come from the same interviews. Yearly revenue (2021 $63K, 2022 $340K, 2023 $515K) is from Starter Story's figures. Rival bar weights are our illustrative estimate of relative market size, not measured. 'Our read' tags mark interpretation; the Palworld timeline, acquisition story, and quotes are documented first-party. We never score you.
