Interesting project! This product can unlock a lot of customer savings, and wishing you all the best.

I have a couple of questions:

- Are you focusing on EC2 compute costs or are you focusing on other AWS offerings as well? Curious to see how the savings compare to EC2 compute optimizer [1].

- How is your churn rate? What is the value of your product once a customer optimized their AWS bill?

- Do you have a screencast of your product?

1. We're currently focused on EC2s (it's been the largest line item for our first few customers).

2. Rightsizing and spot fleet management keep our users coming back - but our customers get the most value the first month. Almost all of our customers have renewed their subscriptions after the first month so far.

3. I don't know how well the computer optimizer model performs, but we haven't had a customer take a recommendation and regret it later on. For our enterprise plan, we fine-tune our models to a company's historical usage (rather than throw a standardized model at all of our users).

Happy to share a screencast! Feel free to email me if you'd like.
