●MidBold BetZero to One

Monetizes Claude Code spinner time, but depends on Anthropic not changing their UI.

Strengths
  • •Genuinely novel concept - first ad marketplace targeting LLM wait times specifically
  • •50% revenue share to developers is unusually generous compared to typical ad networks
Weaknesses
  • •Fragile business model - Anthropic could change spinner behavior anytime
  • •Unproven market for ads during AI tool wait times with no comparable precedents
