Here are some real life success stories of starting a city maps business:
1. Mapsery ($42K/year)
Love Regefalk (from Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden) started Mapsery over 5 years ago.
Hello StarterStory! My name is Love Regefalk (yes – it actually is) and I am the co-founder of Mapsery. I founded Mapsery together with my twin brother, Daniel, and we run Mapsery on the side of our engineering studies.
Looking at our customers, they can be found all around the world (30+ countries to date) who share a love for maps, traveling and interior design. Owing to the fact that our website is in English and that we only run ads in English, a majority of our customers can be found in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. To a lesser extent, we get customers from other corners of the world. In terms of demographics, slightly more women than men purchase our products and people aged 25-34 are our primary age group.
2. No Code Map App ($2.4K/year)
Nan Zhou (from Hong Kong) started No Code Map App about 1 year ago.
Hi! I am Nan and I am the founder of No Code Map App - a no code builder for creating custom interactive maps with dynamic filters. It is designed for businesses to build an agency-quality interactive map without coding.
We launched 3 months ago and started monetizing at the end of March. April was our first full month of taking payments and we made >$400.
