Realistic income
At the Web Summit PITCH final in November 2025 Granter said it had made about €400,000 (≈$466K) in sales in nine months. The months are not dated and “sales” may mean signed contracts. This figure is operator-reported, not independently verified. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live source — numbers change.
Risks
- The ~€400K figure comes from a pitch on stage and may mean contracts, not cash.
- Grant rules differ by country and change every year.
- Applications must be truthful; AI drafts need careful review.
- Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.
*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
