Hey HN, I'm the builder.
I burned $10K on Facebook ads watching my last startup die (60-80% of clicks were bots). I built GoViralPromo to apply crowdfunding psychology to marketing: instead of a random draw, contest participants compete on a leaderboard by running mini-campaigns for you.
The idea is to create a much lower, more predictable CAC.
The reality: It's a v1 and I have zero customers. I'm offering free campaigns to the first few people from HN to help validate (or invalidate) the model.
Tech stack: Next.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.
I'm here all day to answer questions. Open to all feedback, especially technical critique!
