"Tinder for jobs," built by a non-engineer in college: swipe to apply, AI-tailored resumes, and an agent that applies for you. $250K MRR in 8 months.
Sprout's homepage opens with a line every job seeker feels: "Stop applying. Start landing interviews." It's a dating-app interface for the job hunt — swipe through roles, let AI tailor your resume for each one, and hand the repetitive submission work to an agent that applies on your behalf while you review before anything gets sent.
It was built by Nicole Cheung, a non-engineer at Claremont McKenna, and the growth story is almost unfair: $250K MRR within 8 months, with zero ad spend and zero funding. No growth hacks, no venture backing — just a founder who lived the pain of job hunting and a product whose onboarding does the selling. For anyone who thinks vibe coding can't produce "serious" SaaS, Sprout is the counterargument.
