TeardownHQ

TeardownHQ is the research layer for how indie startups actually grew. Browse a directory of real companies with revenue and growth estimated from hard signals like traffic, headcount, and app and payment data, then open a full teardown of any one of them: how they landed their first hundred customers, the single channel that actually moved revenue, the pricing and packaging calls that worked, and where they eventually hit a ceiling. It is built narrow and current for the businesses you could actually build, indie SaaS, micro-SaaS, dev and AI tools, and no-code apps, instead of the generic startup advice you have read a hundred times. What makes it trustworthy is the part most "how they did it" content skips. Every teardown is assembled by a deep-research pipeline and run through a verification pass that checks each claim against its source and cuts anything it cannot stand behind, so you get specifics you can act on rather than self-reported screenshots, with estimates labeled honestly as estimates. The directory and a teaser of each teardown are free, a subscription unlocks the full library and the data tools, and verified founders can write their own startup's teardown and earn a share when it sells. TeardownHQ turns "how did they pull that off" from a guess into something sourced, current, and worth copying.
