We’re building a SaaS analytics tool aimed at helping founders better understand their subscription metrics: https://metricster.com

We had ~100 early signups during initial testing, but it’s been much harder lately to get visibility — especially with the AI noise everywhere.

Tried:

Reddit and Facebook groups

Cold outreach to founders

Slowly investing in SEO for the long term

Still figuring out what actually drives conversions.

I think data analytics can work, but most tools and workflows today are just… not good enough. The dashboards look great, but they often give surface-level metrics with no real insights.

The problem isn’t being ‘data-driven’—it’s the gap between collecting data and making it actionable. Most platforms focus on showing numbers, not answering questions like why something happened or what to do next.
