Conferencebadge.com(+Leanticket.com) started in January 2013, generates ~$36k / month and growing. Interesting to note we were reject after interviewing in SF for YC S2013. We are a team of four working on this. Mostly part time, customer support, fulfilment with partners.

The money from this enables us to focus most of our time on a newly not announced projet, which we plan to launch in spring 2015. We plan to apply to YC with this one and are confident it will be a good match. Big vision, big plans.

I personally also have an old flash game portal (jeuxgratuits.net) started 13 years ago still generating ~1.5k / month. All legacy traffic from Google and 10 years of web links. 0 maintenance time.



What really good example of executing very nicely on one thing. Congratulations.


Really neat idea and well designed. Excited for the upcoming project. Where can we sign up for updates?

Nice site! But friendly tip: you have a small CSS rendering bug in the prices listed on the front page when using an iPhone 5 in portrait mode.


Thanks very much for reporting this! It’s now fixed.


Looks really nice. I'm suprised lanyrd.com and similar didn't get that idea. Charging per badge is a nice business model.


Lanyrd.com is all about discoverability. Conferencebadge.com is more utility. Really different in my opinion.

I think the success of the plateforme was in our ability to mitigate all the pain points of managing attendees badges, which is not a sexy business.


Conferencebadge.com is very clever!


like it. textbook example of great UX


really awesome, thanks for the inspiration.


impressive!
