Build on an established audience and search footprint rather than starting distribution from zero. CogniGuide has 50,000+ registered accounts, 35,000+ educational content entries and 13,157 Google search clicks in August 2026. Key opportunities include optimizing upgrade journeys on existing landing pages, study-season campaigns and reactivation, annual-plan offers, focused study bundles, and further sharing features.

These are planning scenarios using observed period averages, separate from actual historical financials. The owner has recently improved banner usability and sharing, providing a stronger foundation for an active growth-focused buyer.

Selling Reasoning

Starting a new venture

I am selling CogniGuide to fund my next SaaS. The product, educational content library and organic search audience are already established, and I would like to pass them to an owner who wants to build on that foundation. I currently spend less than ten minutes per month on routine operation, excluding development and improvements. To support a smooth handover, I will provide 30 days of email transition support, capped at five hours total across the full 30-day period.

Financing

Bootstrapped

Built and operated by the founder with a lean infrastructure and AI-cost model. Typical ongoing costs are approximately $25/month for Supabase, $20/month for Vercel, $10-$30/month for AI usage and $15/year for the domain, based on owner estimates.
