Startup Portfolio Builder with Live Revenue Metrics for Indie Founders

Indie founders building multiple products lack a unified view of their portfolio's health. Startives on IH tried to build a 'living portfolio for builders' beyond static directories. The adjacent opportunity is a portfolio dashboard that connects to Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, and payment processors to show real revenue metrics alongside product descriptions, giving founders a credible, verifiable showcase and giving buyers or collaborators a trustworthy signal.

Problem Statement

An indie founder runs 3 products: a SaaS tool doing $2K MRR, a template kit doing $500 MRR, and a new product in beta. They want to showcase this portfolio to potential collaborators, investors, or acquirers. Their current options are a personal website with screenshots (no proof of traction), an IH product page (limited to one product), or a spreadsheet shared manually. None of these update automatically, none verify revenue, and none present a cohesive multi-product narrative.

The Idea

A portfolio dashboard for multi-product indie founders that connects to payment processors and shows live revenue alongside product descriptions, creating a verifiable showcase for collaborators and potential acquirers.

Why Now

The multi-product indie founder pattern is now mainstream: Ship fast, validate quickly, keep winners, sell or sunset losers. Static portfolios on personal sites cannot convey momentum. IH verified-revenue badges show founders want revenue credibility. Startives' IH reception and the growth of Acquire.com confirm demand for living portfolio tools.
