TrustMRR

TrustMRR isn’t a regular startup directory — it’s a verified database of real startup revenues. Founders connect a read-only Stripe API key to prove their MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), earning a public profile, a clean dashboard, and a valuable backlink to their product.

It’s the new standard for transparency in the indie and SaaS world — a place where real numbers speak louder than screenshots.

More about TrustMRR

In late October 2025, the indie hacker community was rocked by a viral tweet from Pieter Levels (@levelsio):

“There are so many fake MRR screenshots on here… people posting $50K–$100K/month then disappearing a year later.”

The post hit millions of views — and inspired Marc Lou (@marc_louvion), a serial indie founder with over $2M in revenue, to take action. Within just 48 hours, he built TrustMRR: a simple yet powerful tool that lets founders verify their Stripe data and publish tamper-proof public revenue pages.

Each listing on TrustMRR is backed by real Stripe metrics — no edits, no inflated claims. Founders like Kibu ($161K MRR) and Launch Club ($61K MRR) verified within days, while even pre-launch makers proudly published $0 pages to show authenticity.

Within 48 hours of launch, 35K visitors checked out the site. Marc sold out ad slots worth $18K MRR, and the platform became the ultimate filter between real and fake traction.
