Aarivi is a job-hunt app for startup roles: it lists roles from 10,000+ startups scored against the user's resume and GitHub, scans Gmail daily to update an Applied/Interview/Offer/Rejected board, and turns a resume into a portfolio site. Its agent finds founders who fit the user's profile, drafts a cold email with the resume attached and sends it from the user's Gmail once the user approves. TrustMRR shows it reached $1,064 MRR within about a month of its Sep 26, 2026 founding date, and it was listed for sale on Oct 21, 2026.

- Revenue claim
- $1,488 last 30 days; MRR $1,064; all-time $1,489; 168 active subscriptions (as of Oct 21, 2026)
TrustMRR: revenue verified via Dodo Payments API key, last synced Oct 21, 2026
Receipt: trustmrr.com, aarivi.com
Risks: Only about 4 weeks old, so the MRR is early and unproven: all revenue arrived within about four weeks ($85.70 in Sep 2026, $1,402 in Oct to date, TrustMRR), so churn and retention are not yet visible. Listed for sale on Oct 21, 2026 at $22,000. Gmail send/read access needs Google OAuth restricted-scope verification (suggested). Cold-emailing founders at volume risks spam complaints, and job seekers cancel once hired (suggested).
