Free community tools, real revenue
Two interconnected platforms sharing a single white-label codebase — replacing $10-100/month paid data services by sourcing everything from free public records, federal APIs, and community contributions.
Incumbents charge because they cover every county. We don't have to.
Services like Regrid ($49-199/mo), LandGlide ($10/mo), and onX Maps ($30/yr) repackage public county data and charge for the breadth of their coverage. Off Grid Hubs stays intentionally narrow — serving specific communities — making the entire data layer cost $0.
Public data, private pricing
County parcel records, tax deed auctions, weather data, and fire detection are all public. Incumbents repackage this data and charge $10-200/month.
No emergency infrastructure
Off-grid communities have no 911, no fire department within an hour, and no coordination tools. Off-road parks run safety on handheld radios.
Blind to land opportunities
Tax deed auctions sell parcels for pennies on the dollar, but the data is buried in county clerk websites with no alerts, no maps, and no enrichment.
Revenue model
Six revenue streams
The community apps are free — the business model monetizes the data, the audience, and the B2B vertical without charging the end users who generate the network effects.
| Stream | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| B2B Parks | $36K | $150K | $360K |
| Tax Deed Products | $50K | $500K | $1.2M |
| Lead Generation | $30K | $120K | $240K |
| Land Referrals | $20K | $100K | $200K |
| Affiliate | $15K | $80K | $200K |
| Advertising | $5K | $30K | $100K |
| Total ARR | $156K | $980K | $2.3M |
Tax Deed Auction Intelligence
A production-grade data pipeline that scrapes, enriches, and presents county tax deed auction records — turning raw public data into an actionable investment tool.
How the pipeline works
Why this matters
- $5B+ national market
Florida alone processes ~200,000 tax deed auctions annually. The national tax lien/deed market exceeds $5 billion per year.
- Underserved buyers
Individual investors routinely spend $10-50K+ per auction with no dedicated tooling.
- Free data, packaged value
Raw county records lack coordinates, acreage, assessed value, and map context. The enrichment pipeline is the product.
- Institutional demand
Tax lien investment firms and real estate hedge funds would pay for enriched, programmatic access to this data.
Expansion roadmap
Deepen Florida
Months 0-62 counties live today. Target 10-15 FL counties.
Standalone SaaS product

Unit economics
Near-zero marginal costs
Every data source is free. The entire platform runs on a single Supabase project. Adding a new community costs a config file and ~$5/month.
All data sources are free
Current monthly infrastructure
Scaling economics
Competition
Free vs. $10-200/month incumbents
Existing tools are built for real estate professionals, not off-grid landowners. And none offer emergency coordination, auctions, or community features.
| Competitor | What | Price | Off Grid Hubs Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| LandGlide | Parcel lookup app | $9.99/mo | Free — plus SOS, fire monitoring, auctions, and community tools |
| Regrid | Parcel data API | $49-199/mo | Free — with community-specific depth and local context |
| onX Maps | Hunting/outdoor maps | $29.99/yr | Free — built for communities, not individual hunters |
| Nextdoor | Neighborhood social | Free (ads) | Purpose-built for rural — includes parcel data, SOS, fire alerts |
| LandWatch | Land for sale listings | Free | Integrated into community context with auction tracking |
