$30K MRR founder locked in creators before launch and hit a 300 person waitlist

Meet Cedric, a college student who built PepAI (a peptide tracking app) which hit $50K in revenue in 7 weeks. Before launch, he DM’d influencers in the niche and got them posting. The results: 300-person waitlist before launch One Instagram story post = $1,000 in revenue First real post hit 50K views = $4,000 in a single day ~$10K total revenue from that one creator His take: marketing and distribution matter way more than the product. If you don’t have a plan to distribute it, don’t even build it.
