The Problem

Indie developers and AI builders can't convert functional AI prototypes into revenue-generating products due to a lack of distribution.

Real Demand Evidence

Found on x·2 months ago

I built an AI tool that 50 people who've seen it said was really useful. Six months later I have 12 paying customers. I'm not bad at building — I'm terrible at getting people to see what I built. Distribution is completely foreign to me.

Core Insight

A service that helps AI builders build distribution channels around their tools post-launch.
