Milestone map
3 milestones
Reach $1,000 in Monthly Recurring Revenue from real paying customers. MRR means revenue that renews monthly — subscriptions, retainers, or monthly service contracts. One-time sales do not count as MRR. At this milestone the evidence requirement is direct: a payment processor screenshot showing $1K+ in recurring monthly revenue. Bank statements are also accepted. Self-reported revenue numbers are not.
Proof required
Share a screenshot from your payment processor (Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad, PayPal, or equivalent) showing $1K or more in monthly recurring revenue. The screenshot must show: the platform name, the date range (a single calendar month), and the recurring revenue figure. Blur any customer data that should not be public. Write one sentence on where this first $1K came from: how many customers, at what price point.
What gets checked
- Screenshot is from a payment processor or bank statement — not a revenue dashboard that could be manually edited.
- The figure shown is recurring revenue (subscriptions or retainers), not one-time sales.
- The screenshot is dated within the last 6 months — stale evidence suggests the milestone was not recently achieved.
