First, amazing job and congratulations on launching.

I’ve founded a handful of startups myself (most failed) and was a little shocked and worried that y’all been at it for four years and now just “trying to collect a dozen customers.”

Four years in, with a product as well designed and engineered as this looks should have more customers and MRR/ARR. Have you just been heads down the last four years building and engineering? I can advise you from personal experience that’s a mistake.

Ramp up the sales and marketing dials, and make sure people really want and more importantly really will pay for what you are building.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

“trying to collect a dozen customers.”

That was plan for next few days/weeks :D. I have great vision with Automatio, and its not money driven (that will come alongway).

Yeah, we are building it for last ~4 years, and I know what you are saying. We are to long into development, which is 100% true. But due life happening, and push you and drag you here and there, then hit you and punch, here we are. And I decided to go hardway, even we could get some $$ pumped in. But I believed that we can make it without sharing the equity or real goals of Automatio.
