BUILDER SPOTLIGHT

From API key to 2,000 users in 3 weeks ⚡

Hey [[FIRST_NAME]], meet Alex — a full-stack dev from Berlin who signed up for eToro Builders on a Friday evening and had a live product with 2,000 users three weeks later. Here's how.

WEEK 1

The Prototype

Alex used the Portfolio API to build a simple risk analyzer. It pulled real portfolio data and calculated Sharpe ratios, drawdown metrics, and concentration risk. Total build time: one weekend.

"The API docs were good enough that I didn't need to ask a single question."

WEEK 2

The Community

Alex shared it in #show-and-tell on Discord. The response was immediate — 30 people tested it that day. Feedback poured in. Alex added WebSocket support for real-time updates based on user requests.

"The Discord community basically became my beta testers."

WEEK 3

The Launch

With production-tier API access and higher rate limits, Alex launched publicly. A single post on X brought 2,000 users in 48 hours. The eToro Builders team featured it on the homepage.

"I've built SaaS products that took 6 months to get this many users."

You could be our next spotlight.
