Tibo says a product flat at $2k MRR for six months hit $15k
Six months of nothing, then one month of what he calls insane growth, from a founder who says he does $1m a month across his products.
Tibo posted the shape of his newest product's first year and it is not a curve, it is a flat line with a cliff at the end. April, $2k MRR (monthly recurring revenue). June, still $2k. August, it went down. In the last 30 days he says growth has been, in his word, insane, and the product is now at $15k MRR.
there is no silver bullet, at any size
you feel stuck until the product fixes the real pain
He frames it as a pattern rather than a fluke. He says he has done this more than ten times and it is always the same, you feel stuck until the product fixes the real pain. For context on who is saying it, Tibo says he does $1m a month across his products.
The business read
The useful part is not the $15k, it is the six months before it. Most founders reading this have something sitting at a low flat number right now and are quietly deciding whether it is dead. Tibo's account says the flat line is the normal shape, including a month where the number goes backwards, and that the thing that broke it was not a growth tactic but the product finally solving the problem users actually had.
That is one founder's experience, repeated across his own portfolio, not evidence that every stalled product turns. Plenty of flat products are flat because nobody wants them. The distinction Tibo draws is whether you are still shipping and still talking to users while you wait, or just waiting.
His own prescription is short. Keep shipping, talk to your users, understand their real pain, and treat the rest as noise. He also says there is no silver bullet at any size, which lands harder coming from someone at seven figures a month than from someone at zero.
One more thing in the same post worth noting for anyone thinking about distribution. Tibo says Reddit is still one of the most quoted sources by AI, and he is building a product aimed at appearing there, which he says he uses on all his products.
