Simplicity often leads to innovation.

That’s exactly what Lukas did with Stagetimer.io, a web-based countdown timer for events, which exemplifies this by transforming a basic concept into a thriving business.

Lukas, a tech enthusiast with a knack for solving practical problems, Stagetimer.io has quickly become an indispensable tool in the event industry.

Boasting a Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) of $10,000.

How the Journey Started

The inspiration for Stagetimer.io struck during a visit to a friend’s studio, where Lukas observed the cumbersome process of using an outdated timing system.

The inefficiency of having to physically start a timer in one room and then rush to another to manage the event highlighted a clear need for a more modern, accessible solution.

Despite extensive research, Lukas found that existing options were limited to a few native apps, with no browser-based solutions available.

Motivated by this gap in the market, he dedicated a weekend to developing the initial version of Stagetimer.io.
