InboxDone executive assistants, $160K a month: email support

InboxDone provides dedicated executive assistants who manage email, calendars, social media, research and administrative tasks. Its $160K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of May 2025.

What it actually sells

InboxDone provides dedicated executive assistants from North America who manage email, calendars, social media, research and administrative tasks. The service is aimed at busy professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, leaders, academics and business owners.

The assistants filter, reply to and follow up on emails, handle calendar confirmations and rescheduling, and support social media direct messages, comments and paid-ad replies. The service also covers invoicing, data entry, CRM or task management, research and report compilation, and travel recommendations.

How it charges

The Standard Plan is listed as $1,995/month for 50 hours per month with two dedicated assistants. All new clients start with this plan, which includes assistants who build a system to reply to emails, manage the calendar and handle other tasks.

Where customers come from

The site offers discovery calls and an onboarding process. The first step takes just 20-30 minutes: clients describe their support needs, hear how the service works and ask questions.

The site also offers a free playbook titled “How To Train Your Assistant During The First 30 Days.” Clients can communicate through WhatsApp, SMS, Slack, phone or email.

What stands out

InboxDone was founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Yaro Starak and operations expert Claire Giovino. The site says the company supports hundreds of individuals and businesses and has grown to a team of over 100 staff.

The company says its primary objective is to give clients back at least two hours of their time every day. It also tests AI email assistants and general purpose AI to decide which solutions are worth presenting to clients.

Where it sits in the data

InboxDone's $160K a month is higher than 91% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view is that this is a real work business because the buyer needs ongoing delegation across email, calendars, social media and administration. The buyer is a busy professional or business owner who wants support handling recurring communication and operational tasks.

Distribution would need to come through direct outreach, search, referrals or educational content aimed at people searching for executive-assistant support. The hard parts are recruiting reliable assistants, protecting access to client accounts, maintaining consistent service quality, managing support demand and complying with privacy and communication requirements. Competition would include other executive-assistant services and internal hiring.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

The service is sold as ongoing operational support, with a defined plan, dedicated assistants and direct communication channels. A founder can use this as a reminder to describe the buyer’s recurring tasks clearly before choosing the delivery model.
