It started with a question.

The Problem

Most learning today is informal. Why do we watch hours of content, highlight entire pages, and still forget everything the next day? Active recall beats doom scrolling, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME ‼️

Active Recall
Gamified Progression
Real Retention
4K+
Learners already trust QuizLink to turn their time into actual learning. We've bootstrapped every dollar so far. Now we're ready to accelerate.
$320
Monthly recurring revenue at a 2.3% conversion rate, achieved with less than $3K in total marketing spend over 6 months. With 4,000+ free users already on the platform, even a modest push to 5% conversion yields $6,000/mo MRR. At 10%, that's $12,000/mo, covering this entire budget in under 3 months.

Here's where every dollar goes, and why.

Where the Learners Are

We approach customer acquisition as a search function, not a persuasion problem.

After six months of building, we've learned something important: AI is polarizing. People either love it or they're skeptical. Trying to convert skeptics is expensive and slow.

Our strategy is simpler: find the millions who are already using AI to learn and give them a better tool. No convincing required. Just discovery.

170M+
people already use ChatGPT for learning every week.
Education accounts for ~55% of all AI usage. These are our customers.

These communities are where we'll find them:

Why This Matters

Every dollar in this budget goes directly toward one mission: turning passive watchers into active learners.

We've already proven the concept with 4,000 users on a bootstrap budget. This funding launches our mobile app, expands access to high-quality education, and helps every learner study their way.

We're not asking for permission to dream. We're asking for fuel to ship.
