A recent lifestyle app has experienced explosive growth in the market. The core logic of this product is surprisingly simple: users check in daily and set emergency contacts, and the system automatically notifies emergency contacts if the user fails to check in on time. This seemingly basic feature design has sparked widespread user resonance in a short period.
The app is priced at 8 yuan in the Apple App Store but achieved a daily growth rate of 500 to 800 times based on its initial user base. Such performance is rare in the app industry. As the user base expanded, the product also underwent a brand upgrade, with a new name that is more internationalized. Currently, the app has expanded into the US market and has become its most important overseas market, laying a foundation for further global growth.
From a commercial value perspective, the valuation of this app has already approached 100 million yuan. From a minimal viable product (MVP) to market recognition and then to a breakthrough in valuation, this case fully demonstrates how a simple product can achieve exponential growth by addressing genuine user needs.

500-800x daily growth? I'm stunned; this data is even more exaggerated than the gains of the cryptocurrencies I shorted.
Real demand is good business, but I still want to ask: when the valuation hits 100 million, is it still possible to buy the dip?
Simple products kill complex applications; I believe in this logic, but I don't believe I can hit the right timing.
International expansion to the US is worth 100 million? I need to recalculate my own return on investment...
I can accept losing on small investments like 8 yuan for new issues, but I definitely missed the window of 800x daily growth.

A simple product that can achieve this level shows that it has truly captured the real needs.

Such a simple requirement, yet it was sold for a 100 million valuation—amazing.
