Hi there,

I'm Gary, technical founder building a workflow orchestration app for software development to manage hundreds of Claude Code sessions. I'm preparing for a product launch and would love to practice pitching and conducting customer interviews with other software professionals. In return, I'm happy to help you practice your pitch and test out your product and provide honest product feedback.

If you're interested, leave a comment or go ahead and put a calendar invite on my calendar here: https://calendar.app.google/V8deGmGsmiC8Ch9a7

Best,

Gary

Your search for pitch practice and customer interviews caught my eye. I’m building Buildside, a community where founders share what they’re building, discover products, and connect with other founders. It may be a place to find people for reciprocal practice and product feedback: https://www.buildside.app

Thanks for sharing Buildside! That's exactly what founders need! I've signed up and look forward to connecting with other founders!

Hi Gary, glad to see you're working on your product launch. I just launched mine a couple of weeks ago. My experience is to launch with a product demo video which helps users understand your product very quickly and hence bring the traction.

For your reference, these are the demo videos we've created for others and ourselves: https://www.youtube.com/@Fluxcut-2026. And the one in our landing page is by Fluxcut as well: https://www.fluxcut.dev

I look forward to your having a wonderful launch soon!
