What founders are building

What Plorik is

A discovery feed for software. Press once and you get one real company, chosen at random.

Most places that list software are built for people who already know what they want. You type in what you need, you compare options, you pick one. Plorik isn't for that. There's no search bar and no ranked list.

It's for the other thing — wanting to know what's out there. What people are building, what it does, and what it earns. Most of the companies in the library are ones you haven't heard of, which is the point.

How it works

One company appears. Move to the next and you get a different one. That's the entire interface.

• The cardProduct name, category, and revenue range. Enough to decide whether you want more.
• The pageOpen any card for the full profile: what the product does, how it works, the founder, team size, headquarters, and the founding story where there is one.
• SponsoredA small number of companies pay to appear in the rotation. They're marked as promoted and otherwise work exactly like any other card.
• ProFiltering and saving, for going through the library deliberately rather than at random.

What's in the library

Over 1,700 software companies, with more added every week.

The range runs from one-person products earning a few thousand a month to companies past $10M ARR. Every category is in there: developer tools, marketing software, vertical products for industries you've never thought about, and a lot of things that are hard to categorise at all.

Where the numbers come from

Revenue on Plorik is shown as a range, not a figure, and the ranges are estimates.

They're assembled from public sources: what founders have said publicly, published interviews, company materials, and pricing and customer information where it's available. Ranges are wide on purpose. A company shown at $1M–$10M could sit at either end of that.

That's the honest limit of the data. Nobody outside a company knows its exact revenue, and anyone claiming otherwise is guessing with more confidence than the evidence supports.

Founders can claim their page and correct anything that's wrong, including the revenue band. Over time that's what makes the library accurate — not better estimates, but the people who actually know.

For founders

Your page probably already exists.

Plorik isn't a submission queue. Companies are added to the library first, and founders claim the page afterwards. There's nothing to line up for and no launch day.

Claiming a page lets you correct the details, update the revenue band, describe what the product actually does, and keep it current as things change. It stays in the rotation either way — claiming just means the information is right.

Where it's going

Right now Plorik is a feed. The longer-term version is a record of what the software ecosystem actually looks like, kept current by the founders in it.

That means tracking what changes. When a company raises its prices, grows its team, or moves into a new market, that's worth knowing — and it only exists as information if someone was watching. A feed of what changed across the library is the next thing being built.

Everything else follows from having accurate pages first. That's the part that matters.

Who made this

Pranav — founder

I built Plorik because I kept wondering what all these products actually make.

You see a tool mentioned somewhere, you look at the site, and the obvious question is never answered. Is anyone using this? Is it a business or a weekend project? How much does it earn? That information exists in scattered pieces across interviews, threads, and posts, and nowhere as one place you can just look through.

So I started collecting it. The library is past 1,700 companies now and grows every week. Building it has been the interesting part — you see patterns you'd never notice one product at a time, like how many quietly profitable businesses exist in industries nobody writes about.

Plorik is a solo project. I read everything sent to me, and if something in the library is wrong, tell me and I'll fix it.
