Commercial brief · Confidential

InstantPWA — turn any website into an installable app in one line.

A pre-revenue, pre-launch installable-web platform — product built, deployed and indexed, ready for a distribution-led operator. Open to acquisition, licensing, revenue share, JV or strategic partnership.

Deployed Pre-revenue Launch-ready

Stage

Pre-revenue, pre-launch, product complete.

Being upfront: there are no paying users, no MRR and no traction claims to defend. The asset is the built product, the SEO surface, the domain and the clean IP — priced accordingly.

Asks: open to offers. Because there's no revenue to anchor a multiple, valuation is a conversation about the built asset and the growth story — not a spreadsheet exercise. Direct line to the founder, no brokers.

Why now

The window is open.

Several tailwinds are converging on installable web — and none of them existed together two years ago.

Regulatory pressure
EU DMA and comparable US action force Apple and Google to open install and payment flows on the web. iOS install prompts and third-party engines are landing now.
Browser parity
Push on iOS Safari (16.4+), full manifest support across every major engine, and offline caching are finally universal.
App-store fatigue
Platform fees, review queues and rising CAC push operators to owned distribution. PWAs are the only mobile channel with no gatekeeper.
AI-native ops
A small team can run a global product. Support, content and monitoring are AI-assisted end-to-end — a margin structure that wasn't feasible pre-2024.

Executive summary

What it does, who it's for, why it matters.

What it does
One script turns any website into an installable Progressive Web App with a branded install prompt, iOS fallback, push notifications and analytics.
Who it's for
Ecommerce, media, SaaS and creator sites that want mobile-app retention without app-store review, native codebases or platform fees.

Problem & solution

Everyone rebuilds the same plumbing. We shipped it once.

The problem

Building a PWA is a multi-week engineering project for most teams.

  • Manifest, service worker and iOS Safari quirks re-solved on every project.
  • Push permissions and install-prompt timing rebuilt from scratch.
  • Existing tools (OneSignal, PushOwl, PWABuilder) each own one slice.
The solution

One script tag. Branded install prompt. Everything else handled.

  • Drop-in embed — small footprint, no framework required.
  • Branded install prompt that matches the host site.
  • iOS Safari fallback with a guided add-to-home-screen flow.
  • Push notifications with segmentation and scheduling.
  • Install & engagement analytics out of the box.

Market context

A real segment, sized bottom-up, not a TAM slide.

Installable web sits at the intersection of ecommerce, publishing and SaaS. Sources linked — buyers should verify independently.

Addressable universe (SAM)
Shopify reports 4.6M+ live stores (2024 investor materials) and WordPress powers ~43% of the web (W3Techs, 2025). InstantPWA's install script targets the mobile-audience subset — a low single-digit percent capture at $24–$49/mo is the operating base case.
Category tailwind
iOS Safari added web push and home-screen install support in 16.4 (Apple, March 2023) and the EU DMA forces install-flow openness on gatekeepers (European Commission, 2024). Category demand is being pulled forward by regulation, not just adoption curves.
Comparable exits & rounds
OneSignal raised a $50M Series C in 2021 (SignalFire lead, TechCrunch). Braze IPO'd in 2021 at ~$8B. Category has proven multi-hundred-million outcomes at the messaging layer alone — InstantPWA sits one step earlier in the funnel (install).
What we are not claiming
No proprietary TAM number, no bottom-up ARR projection, no assumed conversion rate. A buyer's operating team will build their own model — we provide the wedge, the surface and the tech.

Pricing benchmark

Entry-tier pricing vs the named competitors.

Pricing power read: InstantPWA sits at the low end of paid entry ($24) while bundling install + push + analytics. Room to hold price and expand ARPU via seats, volume and white-label — not by re-pricing the base tier. Competitor prices approximate and subject to change on each vendor's site.

Commercial options

Multiple structures on the table.

Founder-owned equity, clean cap table, no outside investors, no revenue commitments to unwind. All of the following are viable.

Acquisition
Full asset or share sale. Founder available for a 30-day handover, longer on request.
Licensing
License the platform for a vertical, region or channel — flat fee or minimum guarantee.
Revenue share
Take over growth in exchange for a defined revenue split. Low-risk entry point.
Joint venture
Co-owned newco with a strategic partner — ideal for platform players wanting deep integration.
Venture studio
Fold into a studio portfolio; founder stays as operating partner on the platform.
Strategic partnership
Non-equity — distribution, co-marketing or exclusive integration deal.

Team & handover

What transfers on day one.

Team
Founder-operator, AI-assisted stack. No employees, no active customers, nothing to novate. Contractor support available post-close if wanted.
What transfers
Domain (instantpwa.com), GitHub organisation, Cloudflare and database accounts, Stripe/Paddle accounts, transactional email sender, brand and social handles, all content and code.
30-day handover
Full walkthrough of codebase, ops, growth playbook and customer relationships. Written runbooks provided.
Post-close
Founder available for advisory or ongoing engineering at day rate, if useful. No obligation.

Risk & disclosure

What a buyer should know upfront.

Pre-revenue, pre-launch. There are no paying users, no MRR and no traction data. The asset being sold is the built product, the SEO surface, the domain and the IP — not a revenue stream. Buyers must underwrite distribution risk themselves.

Key-person risk. The product is founder-built and founder-operated. Handover is documented; a technical operator or small team is required post-close.

Unproven demand. Product-market fit is not yet validated with paying customers. Pricing, packaging and ICP are hypotheses supported by the market landscape, not by cohort data.

Platform dependency. PWA capabilities depend on browser vendors (Apple, Google). Direction of travel is favourable but not controlled by the product.

Competitor set. OneSignal, Progressier and PushOwl are established. InstantPWA competes on scope (full-stack), pricing (free tier) and margin structure, not on incumbency.

About the builder

Builder-first, operator-second.

The founder ships products for a living — takes each one to launch-ready quality, then hands to an operator better placed to scale distribution. InstantPWA is at that stage.

Background
Product engineer with a multi-year track record across ecommerce, developer tools and media SaaS. CV shared under NDA.
Portfolio
Prior SaaS products taken from zero to production; portfolio and references shared under NDA rather than listed publicly.
How it's built
AI-assisted end-to-end — engineering, content, ops and support. Small footprint by design.
