Thanksbox is a digital card and cash collection platform that lets teams celebrate occasions (birthdays, departures, weddings) without the friction of physical cards. Founded by Val Hinoff in May 2020 during the pandemic, the bootstrapped SaaS reached $18,000 MRR within 15-16 months by identifying a strong product-market fit with built-in viral loops (users must share the card to use it) and scaling via Google Ads with a $2 cost per acquisition against a $5.99 base price point.

Rebase is an immigration-as-a-service platform that helps remote workers and digital nomads establish residency in Portugal. Founded by Peter Levels, it went viral on Twitter when he shared a casual photo of building the landing page, generating thousands of sign-ups. The platform now serves approximately 9% of all people moving to Portugal annually, processing around 400-500 sign-ups per month with $30-50k MRR.
