Original caption

Bro found a $20,000 app idea on acquire.com and made his first sale in 2 days. Michael didn’t have a million-dollar idea... So he went looking for one. On acquire.com, he found a height predictor app listed for $20K. Instead of buying it, he built his own. Two days after launch, he already had his first sale - no massive launch, no big following, just a hunger to find a proven idea and act fast. Crazy part? He’s 20. Still in college. And now he’s doing $100K/month with GoTall, because he chased a real problem he cared about and proved people would pay, fast for it.

And I saw an app that's pretty similar to this for sale for for around twenty thousand dollars. And then I thought to myself, "Wait, this is definitely a real problem," because I was thirteen years old, I was looking up height calculator on Google or something. So that's when I began building it. And then I remember after two days of launching it, already had the first sale, and that was also a huge amount of validation for me because I didn't even get that many views, and I was like, "Wow, people really want this." And then the second thing is that on TikTok, if you just look at any height video in general, but I was seeing people saying, "Oh, I am I'm fifteen. My mom's this, my dad's this height." People just give that information, and I assume wanted to get predicted. And so and so one of my first viral formats was just replying to those comments and predicting
