  • •Zero friction—sign up, browse, trade instantly
Weaknesses
  • •No novel mechanics: virtual trading on published metrics isn't analysis
  • •MRR doesn't drive founder growth; market is gamification, not insight

Post Description

Hey HN, I built stockMRRket, a side project where you can buy/sell shares of real indie startups with virtual money.

The core idea: prices are derived from real startup metrics (mainly MRR), so it behaves like a tiny market for internet startups.

It’s built on top of trustMRR APIs, which made this possible. Thanks to Marc Lou for making this data available.
