Bought This Side Project For $5K, Grew it to $350K/Year
Antoine MinouxFormer co-owner of ImprovMX $350,000 annual revenueImprovMX is a freemium email forwarding service 
Until recently, Antoine Minoux was one of the owners.
I’m excited to announce that ImprovMX has been acquired!
It’s crazy to think that what started as an unmonetized side project we bought for $5,000 seven years ago turned into a business serving 200,000+ users… and hitting $350k+ ARR with 3000+ paying customers.
Antoine writes elsewhere how they acquired the project…
As happy users of ImprovMX ourselves, we saw untapped potential. We made an offer to Alexander Tereshkin to buy the service and reimagine it from the ground up
Sounds like they contacted Alexander directly and negotiated that $5K purchase.
Great example of buying and building an existing project with some traction, rather than starting from scratch
