Unlike Gumroad, our goal is not to offer sales pages for digital products - at least not initially.
We found out creators don't necessarily need a complicated landing page when selling content through e.g. tiktok or instagram or a newsletter that already provides trust. In addition, we will also process and handle invoices and credit notes

There are hundreds of successful CRM SaaS companies out there.
Same for email marketing. I think there is room for tons of creator sales platforms without asking "How does this differ from Mailchimp?"
I think the #1 "product design" problem for these tools is customer trust with a brand you've never seen before.
I find Gumroad a little jarring instead of being in the background. Gumroad has been around long enough that it is now a brand that someone might have interacted with more than once through different creators, but I think that is a secondary use case.
