Gaining Momentum

BuyHatke is an established price comparison platform (founded 2012) with significant historical traction, including ~600,000 current active Chrome extension users and millions of app downloads. However, the project appears to be in a mature or maintenance phase compared to its peak, with estimated recent annual revenue (~$140k) significantly lagging its user scale and team size (32-48 employees). The submission quality was poor (lazy text inputs like 'most people have used my product'), though external verification confirms the existence of a legitimate, high-utility product. The founders have largely pivoted focus to Bitbns (crypto), leaving the shopping assistant as a valuable but stagnant legacy asset.
