Side Hustle Finder

Match users with side hustles based on budget, time, skills, location, and goals.

Matches somebody to side hustles they could actually start, given the money they have, the hours they can find and what they already know how to do. It rules things out as much as it suggests them.

The market

Adjacent marketBusiness planning and validation
$757Ma year at Coursera, from 197M registered learners

People pay reliably to learn how to run a business, and HoneyBook's 100,000 members show they pay to run one. Paying to validate an idea before starting is much less established. These are adjacent comparables rather than direct ones, and $7 a month should be read that way.

Why this audience

These viewers want an additional income stream and are drowning in options, which the content itself keeps adding to. The filter is the product. Matching capital, hours and skills narrows a field they cannot narrow alone.

Before it can launch

No licence, certification or data agreement stands between this and a launch — app-store review and an ordinary privacy policy aside.

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.

Is this the one for your audience?

We fund it, build it, and run it. You bring the audience and take a share of the revenue. Nothing to pay and nothing to build.
