The Post

Hello fellow SaaS builders. My name is Jacob & I'm the founder of Rezi. Rezi is the #1 AI resume software known for creating resumes that force the user to follow best practices so they land an interview. I started the company approximately 9 years ago, shortly after graduating college. I faced the pain-point myself. In college, I had a 2.2 GPA yet still managed to get interviews at companies like Dropbox, Google, EA, Goldman Sachs, & Kaplan. I realized that the secret to getting invited to interviews was my resume. My secrets to land more interviews: Beating the ATS — Most large companies use Applicant Tracking Systems to filter resumes before a person even sees them. You have to create a resume tailored to the exact job description. Details, Details, Details — Don't just say what you did; explain the what, why, and how of each task or accomplishment. Tailor Every Single Time — Yes, it's a pain, but you need to customize your resume for each job application. We recently crossed $5.4 million in lifetime revenue, which you can verify on the Indiepage Leaderboard, where we're ranked #1.

Why this launch worked

This launch was highly successful due to its combination of a compelling personal story, practical and valuable advice, and impressive business traction. By addressing a universal pain point with actionable tips and then revealing the significant success of the product derived from those insights, Jacob effectively captured the attention and respect of the r/SaaS community.

What Worked

Strong personal narrative and origin story (college GPA to top tech interviews) resonated with the audience.

Provided actionable, high-value resume tips (ATS optimization, tailoring, detailing) that directly addressed a common pain point.

Leveraged a successful viral Reddit post as the genesis of the product, demonstrating early product-market fit and community validation.

Hey yea high churn, about 16%, is a big problem. LTV is very close to 3 months of Pro at 29$/mo. We also have lifetime which is $149 on time payment. Long term, it would make the most sense to make Rezi free for job seekers, and charge companies to post jobs in the software. Company payments would completely subsidize job seeker expense and be a win/win

How many cancel the monthly service? Have you considered making it a one-time payment, with level upgrades instead, considering people are not searching for a new job every month?

First of all, congrats on $5.4 million in revenue. That's insane. Looks like you've made $200k in just last 30 days according to Indiepage. That's badass. What's currently working for you? Bdw, you're right about AI Automating Jobs. 2025 will be an amazing year for u. Rezi is one of the products benefiting from all the elimination of jobs from AI automation. PS: I covered the [growth strategy](https://startupspells.com/p/rezi-ai-growth-strategy-ai-powered-free-ats-resume-builder) of Rezi a while back if anyone wants to read.

Anyone can look at the volume for resume builder keyword clusters and see that there is a massive need for a product (many do). It comes down to ability to execute. And everyone's ceiling is limited by their ability to execute. If you try any other resume software, Rezi is by far a superior product experience. This is especially true for solopreneurs trying to use ai coding to make a resume builder.
