3 guys went from a basement to $1.5M a year with two app ideas 😱

Bro went from three guys in a basement to $1.5M a year with two app ideas.

Meet Kyle. He built Cardstock (a sports card value scanner) and Scanémon (same thing but for Pokémon). Together they do $120K/month.

Cardstock: ~15K active subs, $75K MRR, 13K downloads/month

Scanémon: launched in 2025, already 3,400 subs and $17K MRR

MVP for Scanémon? Built in a single day with Cursor’s agent

The wild part: he didn’t chase trends. He just looked at his own hobby (collecting cards), noticed there was no app for it, and built one for himself.
