Why We Picked This

isMalicious is a 19-month-old cybersecurity intelligence SaaS with verified financials showing $1,963/mo revenue and $1,864/mo profit at an exceptional 95% margin. The 1.56x annual profit multiple is well below market for a security-focused API and toolset with nearly two years of operating history. The professional-grade feature set — including STIX/TAXII, OpenCTI integration, and an MCP server — suggests a technically credible product serving security operations teams. The primary open questions are customer count, churn, and the concentration of revenue across accounts.

👍

A cybersecurity intelligence API with STIX/TAXII and OpenCTI integrations could be assembled at MVP scope for $4K–$10K using AI coding tools, open-source threat intel feeds, and managed infrastructure. The software itself is reproducible, but the verified $1,864/mo profit at a 1.56x multiple — combined with 19 months of operating history — represents real traction that would take considerable time to rebuild through organic discovery in the security community. The missing customer count and retention data reduce confidence somewhat, but the low multiple and strong margins make buying the more capital-efficient path assuming due diligence confirms revenue durability.

Cash estimate includes the AI tools, APIs and infrastructure needed for a solo founder to recreate the software. Build time is informational and lightly weighted. The verdict is driven mainly by customers, users, verified earnings, retention, distribution, brand, data and operating history.
