In the booming creator economy, most startups scream for attention. CourseGenius, however, is whispering. With a claimed $1M in revenue but zero measurable traffic, this 10-person outfit is either a stealth giant or a ghost ship in an ocean of hype.

"You don't hit $1M in revenue with zero traffic unless you're either a lie, a secret, or solving a problem no one searches for."

The lack of a tech stack footprint is equally telling. No detected technologies suggests a bare-bones operation or a custom-built backend that evades standard scraping. For investors, this is a red flag: scalability is unproven, and the digital moat is non-existent. For founders, it’s a lesson in the power of direct sales over product-led growth.

• Revenue Quality vs. Quantity: $1M with 10 staff implies high-margin, low-volume transactions.
• The Silent Moat: Zero digital footprint suggests a protected niche or a hidden distribution channel.
• Scalability Risk: Heavy reliance on human sales makes expansion expensive and slow.
