Assessment

Noah Kagan predicted that his AppSumo lifetime DocuSign alternative software would generate at least $1 million in revenue within one year of launch. The product, BreezeDoc, launched publicly in April 2024. In July 2024, Kagan disclosed that BreezeDoc had generated $60,093 in its first 40 days. Portfolio metrics published by David Kelly, then-General Manager and Head of Product for AppSumo Originals covering 2018 through 2025, confirm that only three AppSumo Originals products ever crossed $1 million in lifetime revenue (TidyCal, SendFox, and KingSumo), excluding BreezeDoc. BreezeDoc did not reach $1 million in revenue within 12 months of its April 2024 launch.
