Solo founders vibe-code AI products to real revenue: Plinq at $456K ARR
A solo-founder playbook built on 35+ documented cases: validate in 7 days, prototype in Lovable in 3 days, graduate to Cursor within 4 weeks, target $1K MRR in 90 days. Standout cases include Plinq, built entirely in Lovable in 45 days to $456K ARR, and Zyki, built with Cursor to $7K MRR in 30 days. The playbook's main conclusion is that distribution matters 3–10x more than product quality — and all revenue figures are self-reported, not audited.
