An Instagram growth service that hit $18K MRR, ran itself in about 3 hours a month, and sold for $300K in 4 months.
Will it work? · our read
Built to sell. A no-moat hustle became a $300K exit because it was profitable, delegated, and boring to run. On a platform it couldn't control, selling was the smartest move it had.

Revenue and sale price are first-party: founder-disclosed in the They Got Acquired interview and on his own site (schumacher.jp) — $18K MRR, $9K/mo profit, 600 subs, $300K sale in 2018 via FE International — so marked STATED/verified. Buyer is undisclosed (NDA). The 'dies' platform-crackdown is documented for the category (Instagress, Mass Planner, InstaPlus banned in 2017), but pacrunch.com still resolves under new ownership, so PA Crunch's own timing/fate is framed as [our read], not a claim it died. Rival subscriber weights are relative; their 2017 bans are documented. We never score you.
