Web Scraper / Python engineer wanted for profitable SaaS side project

Hey engineers!
I own Botsheets.com - It's a SaaS that currently lets users build chatbots using Google Sheets as a no-code database. It's profitable for that use-case, but that's not an obvious use case for the brand. A lot of the people that come to Botsheets don't expect to build a chatbot with Google Sheets. They are looking to scrape to sheets.

If you're really good with web scraping and Python in general and have some React front end skills, this would be a good side project. Here is what I bring to it:

  • Botsheets is a great brand for this (botsheets.com)
  • I have a repo with a React frontend and Django backend. I started this project a while back but never finished it, but there is a code base to speed time-to-market if we wanted to use it. We'd need to refactor a few things, but we're talking about a few weeks rather than a few months for UI/UX.
  • Botsheets has over 10,000 customers, a Facebook group with 2K+ members, and YT channel with 1000+ subs, so I can answer the question "How do we get our first 100 paying customers"
  • Stripe integration is done with pricing tiers. I'd treat this as a separate Botsheets "Product" in Stripe.
  • Google user Auth is done, and Sheets API integration is done where we can generate sheets for users.

I'll revenue share 50/50. Plus, if I ever sell the company, I'll give you 50% of the sale value for the revenue your product brings in. So, if this product adds $200K in MRR or ARR to Botsheets and we sell at a 5x multiple, you’d get $500K.

Let's connect!
