暂定标题： Ton-piston-style copycat for Brazil and Mexico (working name)

摘要

简报已验证

Ton-piston (founded 2026-08-03, France) is a monthly, cancel-anytime Pro subscription to Piston, a search engine for alternance (apprenticeships) and internships. Pro gives unlimited AI CV optimisation, cover-letter generation, offer-compatibility analysis and new-offer alerts. TrustMRR (Verified) shows $9,258 revenue in the last 30 days; RunsBy lists $9,639 MRR on Oct 16 and $22,474 total, so most revenue arrived in under 3 months.…

阅读其余部分

Age is 81 days, well inside the POP 5.3 window. It is local to France (exotic-market rule), so the entry carries Global Application and LatAm Version. Brazil already has big job portals (Gupy, CIEE), so the angle is the AI toolkit for first-job seekers, not another listing site.

描述

Original: student-focused job/internship search with a Pro plan unlocking AI tools (CV optimiser, cover letters, compatibility scoring, alerts). HBV version: PT-BR/ES 'estágio / prácticas' toolkit: paste a vacancy URL, get fit score, CV rewrite and cover letter; alerts from public listings via partner feeds or user-pasted links (no scraping of terms-restricted sites).…

阅读其余部分

Subscription monthly with a web paywall (Pix/cards). SEO pages per course and city ('estágio em engenharia em Recife'). Global Application: first-job and internship seekers in any country with a CV/letter/fit toolkit. LatAm Version: Brazil (estágio, jovem aprendiz) and Mexico (prácticas profesionales, servicio social), PT-BR/ES copy, Pix/OXXO-style payments.

目标客户

University and technical-school students seeking internships in Brazil and Mexico
