  Sprout

  Sprout, the “Tinder for jobs” built by a non-engineer in college — betting on distribution over building to reach $250K MRR in 8 months

  A job-search app built by Nicole Cheung while at Claremont McKenna: swipe to apply, AI tailors a resume and cover letter per role, and an agent auto-submits on the employer’s site. With no ads and no VC it hit $250K MRR in 8 months — reusing the same creator-army playbook behind her earlier beauty app Glam Up (1M users in 6 months).
