Key point
College students used **Replit** to build **Blubbr**, a startup generating $1,000 in monthly revenue within 3 weeks.
Details
Computer science students developed Blubbr, a trading bot targeting the SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) market. They devised a strategy to profit by catching the pattern where stock prices rise right after specific SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) filings are posted.
While a traditional development approach—from local coding to cloud deployment—would take several weeks, they used Replit to complete the entire process in just 4 days. In particular, Replit's easy deployment feature dramatically shortened the development and deployment process.
Blubbr achieved the following results:
- Grew a community of about 4,000 members in 3 weeks
- Attracted 86 paid supporters on Patreon
- Generated about $1,000 in monthly revenue through a Replit notification bot
When they needed to revise their strategy in response to market changes, they leveraged Replit's flexibility to respond quickly. They built a new news-scraping bot, creating a system that could send alerts to their Discord server within 3 seconds of an article being published.
