RevenueCat: Build and grow your app business

Build and grow your app business

RevenueCat removes the headaches of building and scaling in‑app subscriptions. Since graduating from YC’s S18 batch we’ve grown into the default monetization platform for mobile: we’re in >40% of newly shipped subscription apps, we process $12B+ in annual purchase volume, and we help everyone from a solo dev in Brazil to the OpenAI mobile team understand and grow their revenue.

Active Founders

Miguel Carranza

Founder

I'm a software engineer from Seville, Spain. I got my first computer at 8 years old and fell in love with technology. I moved to Silicon Valley to work at a startup called Elevate, which was awarded Apple's App of the Year in 2014. At Elevate, I met my co-founder Jacob and we learned first hand how challenging it is to implement in-app subscriptions. We decided to start RevenueCat, to make sure developers can make a living doing what they love, without having to focus on boring infrastructure.

I was an iOS engineer who got really mad at StoreKit one day and decided to do something about it.

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)

Miguel and Jacob worked together on an app called Elevate, that happened to be selected as Apple’s app of the year in 2014, 2 months after they converted it to a subscription app. What followed was a comedy of errors as they realized that scaling a business on Apple’s subscription system was way more difficult than it should be. After building a ton of bespoke in-house infrastructure to extract even the simplest data, they decided to see if building this as a service would work.
