A partner-distributed financial tutor that turns a firm’s expertise and live sources into a €20/month subscriber tool.

A trusted firm’s existing knowledge and audience did more to sell this finance tutor than the AI interface did.
Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
Onasis is a personal finance tutor that combines a financial firm's knowledge base with live web sources, including Reddit and financial media, to explain market events and cryptocurrency prices. Founder Matic Mele, an electrician in Slovenia, says he built the first version in 14 days with Lovable, without prior development or DevOps experience. The knowledge component came from Onasis's relationship with a Slovenian financial firm, which supplied its own material and introduced the tool to clients and former clients. The offer was €20 per month, compared with €60–€70 per hour for consulting. Mele says the first three customers came from one or two partner emails and reports €1,000 monthly recurring revenue. The Lovable channel describes this as a founder interview; revenue is self-reported and unaudited. A partner later helped move storage from GitHub to Amazon after GitHub shut down the early setup. The founder says he planned to focus next on paid ads and user-generated content, while prioritizing customer feedback before further product development.
For Onasis, the shortest path to the first ten subscribers is the same channel that produced the first three: a trusted financial firm introducing the tool to people who already ask it questions. Start with one advisory firm, accountant, or niche research publisher whose inbox is full of repeat market questions.

Data credibility: Matic Mele reports €1,000 monthly recurring revenue and says the first three customers came from one or two emails sent by a Slovenian financial firm. The interview does not provide billing records, subscriber totals, churn, or independent confirmation.
The first dollar arrived through a partner distribution deal, not paid acquisition. Onasis was presented to the Slovenian financial firm's current and former clients as a new digital coworker that combined the firm's knowledge with live sources, priced at €20 per month.
Onasis can compound when a financial firm's existing expertise makes the assistant more useful, and each useful answer makes the firm's audience more willing to try it.
A two-week launch can still leave a founder with thin feedback, especially when the first users arrive through a partner's email list and quietly test a finance product.
