Mobile development platforms Startups

Revenue Cat is a SaaS platform providing SDKs and APIs that help mobile app developers implement in-app subscriptions without building complex backend infrastructure. Founded by Jacob Eiting and Miguel in 2017, the company grew from $0 MRR with heavy reliance on content marketing (6-12 hours/week writing technical blog posts) to $400 MRR after 2 months of consistent content, then to $7K MRR by late 2018. After joining Y Combinator and raising a $1.5M seed round, Revenue Cat leveraged a smart pricing structure aligned with customer revenue growth and strong word-of-mouth to reach $161K MRR ($1.93M ARR) by July 2020, with continued month-over-month growth driven by expansion revenue and organic adoption within the developer community.
