TeardownHQ
The research layer for how startups grow.
What this is
A directory of real indie startups with growth estimated from traffic, hiring and payment signals, each with a written teardown of how they landed early customers and where they hit a ceiling.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- A directory of indie startups with revenue and growth estimated from traffic, headcount and payment signals; each listed company has a written teardown covering how it got its first customers, its main growth channel, pricing decisions, and where it hit a ceiling.
- What's different
- Teardowns are assembled by a research pipeline with a verification pass that checks each claim against its source before publishing.
- Pricing
- Free.
- Best for
- Founders of indie SaaS, micro-SaaS, dev/AI tools and no-code apps looking for narrow, current growth examples rather than generic startup advice.

Where it shows up
Every group here is a page of its own — each one checked daily.
The numbersIs it still shipping, is it overpriced, where did it land — and what the price is built from.
League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
AI. Launched 18d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #520. Today, it's been quiet for 15 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It placed #520 on PeerPush with 2 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 4 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 16 olay var. 1 quiet day in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
TeardownHQ is the research layer for how indie startups actually grew. Browse a directory of real companies with revenue and growth estimated from hard signals like traffic, headcount, and app and payment data, then open a full teardown of any one of them: how they landed their first hundred customers, the single channel that actually moved revenue, the pricing and packaging calls that worked, and where they eventually hit a ceiling. It is built narrow and current for the businesses you could actually build, indie SaaS, micro-SaaS, dev and AI tools, and no-code apps, instead of the generic startup advice you have read a hundred times. What makes it trustworthy is the part most "how they did it" content skips. Every teardown is assembled by a deep-research pipeline and run through a verification pass that checks each claim against its source and cuts anything it cannot stand behind, so you get specifics you can act on rather than self-reported screenshots, with estimates labeled honestly as estimates. The directory and a teaser of each teardown are free, a subscription unlocks the full library and the data tools, and verified founders can write their own startup's teardown and earn a share when it sells. TeardownHQ turns "how did they pull that off" from a guess into something sourced, current, and worth copying.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
