Editor's note: Martijn Verbove is a solo founder in the Netherlands; TrustMRR links the listing to his X account and the MakerMap site names him. The quote is his X reply of Oct 18, 2026 to someone who asked, under his MakerMap post, whether he vibe coded it. TrustMRR lists a Next.js, Vercel and Stripe stack. The revenue is small and recent: the map launched on Sep 16, 2026.
How they got customers
Martijn grows MakerMap on X with posts asking makers to drop their startup link so he can add them to the map. One on Oct 9 passed 100K views and got nearly 1,000 replies, and another on Oct 16 got 346 replies. He builds profiles from people's X intros, then invites them to claim their page. He also hosted a MakerMap meetup in Lisbon on Oct 8 and emailed 1,200+ makers for feedback. The TrustMRR listing says 4,000+ makers in 100+ countries and about 12K visitors in the last 30 days.
