01b / strategy evolution
Launched March 2023 as "Bet Ur Race" by a French solo dev, later rebranded BERACE. It is a season-synced consumer freemium app (556 subs at ~$3.90 ARPU): revenue peaked at $10.3k at the March 2026 F1 season start and decayed through the summer, seasonality baked into the category. The stack is a full small-app playbook — Meta/TikTok ads, named French F1/MotoGP influencer ambassadors, a referral loop, French race-news SEO and ASO — now paired with a search for a growth co-founder to push beyond France.
