Marc Lou just opened TrustMRR’s API
You can literally query any project’s MRR, growth trend, and even see what kinds of startups are getting sold.
That single move just unlocked one of the fastest-growing transparent datasets in tech.
And it’s free.
Most people will scroll past this. But if you’re paying attention, this is an inflection point.
People were selling scraped versions of this database and people paid $49 for it.

Why Builders Should Care
Every startup I’ve seen hit product-market fit fast had one thing in common:
They position in the market is cristal clear.
Positioning as niching
Positioning against competitors
Positioning regarding trend
Transparent data lets you:
Find competition gaps — sort by category and see trending ideas.
Validate new ideas — check if anyone in a niche has real users paying revenue, before building a clone.
Build faster — use this dataset for automated benchmarking right inside your app or dashboard.
Track trends — query all startups tagged “AI” or “finance” to see where new revenue is flowing.
If you have some cash, you can even buy a verified, profitable SaaS instantly rather than guessing which no-code app might work.
Everyone’s Dropping API Endpoints
TrustMRR isn’t alone. Post-planify, the issue of last week did the same.
Every week, another API pops up giving access to real market data, posts, product listings, traffic estimates, purchases…
We’re shifting from content creation to data creation. They unlock a new revenue source. Big Ai companies fight for it and there is a reason.
The smartest founders are starting to think:
What metric can I own? Later : how to make money from it? What small dataset could become infrastructure for others?
Where This Is Going
VCs used to have private databases to spot breakout companies.
Now those same insights are going public.
You can be part of these and build directly on top of this open feed.
And every one of those projects will owe its success to this shift toward transparent startup data.
My Take
Data like this isn’t just “nice to have.” It’s the new leverage. Own it.
When you can see what works, you can design smarter experiments, pick better battles, and actually copy proven success patterns, not the loudest ones on X.
