Roast my startup: CSpect a free AI resume builder with no paid download trap

3 Upvotes

I’m building CSpect, a free AI resume builder focused on clean, ATS-friendly resumes.

I don’t want to just drop a link and say “thoughts?” I’d rather give context so you can roast the actual idea.

The problem:

A lot of resume builders let people spend time creating a CV, then ask them to pay when they want to download it.

That feels annoying, especially for students, fresh grads, and job seekers applying to many jobs.

Also, many resume templates look nice but are not always practical for ATS systems or online applications.

The product:

CSpect helps people create a clean, professional resume with AI support and download it for free.

Target users:

Students, fresh graduates, career changers, and job seekers who want a simple resume that is easy to read and ATS-friendly.

Competition:

This space is crowded. There are tools like Rezi, Enhancv, ResumeNow, Resume.io, Canva, and many others.

I’m not trying to win with fancy design.

The angle is simple:

Clean resumes, ATS-friendly structure, fast creation, and no surprise paywall at download.

Stage:

Very early validation. Not raising money. I’m trying to see if people actually care about this problem before pushing it harder.

Customer strategy:

Reddit, LinkedIn, Discord job-seeker communities, Product Hunt discussions, SEO, and direct conversations with students and fresh grads.

What I want roasted:

Is the problem real enough?
Is “free ATS-friendly resume builder” too generic?
Would you trust something like this?
What would stop people from using it?
What should I change before trying to get more users?

Be brutal. I’m trying to find out if this is worth pushing or if the positioning is weak.

Roast my femtech app: My Body’s BFF

1 Upvotes

What it is:
An app that helps women understand why they feel the way they feel across a month. Not a period tracker that predicts your next bleed and calls it a day it tracks mood, sleep, energy, stress, symptoms, food and cycle together, and starts surfacing patterns across all of them after a few weeks of use.

What it actually does:
You log small things daily how you slept, what your energy was like, how stressed you felt, what was going on in your body. Over time the app starts connecting dots you wouldn’t connect yourself. Things like “your mood drops two days after a bad sleep.” It also includes short psychology-based tools (built on CBT and ACT) for the harder days not as therapy, just as something to reach for in the moment.

Who it’s for:
Women 22-40 who feel like a different person from one week to the next and don’t have a framework for why.

Why I built it:
Spent the year trying to understand my own body and realized I had no idea what was actually going on inside me from week to week. Wanted something that gave me a vocabulary for what I was feeling instead of just a calendar with a red dot on it.

Stage:
Live on iOS en Android

I made a weight tracking app because every existing one felt like it was trying to become my life coach. Roast it.

1 Upvotes

I recently launched a small Android app called Weilo.

It’s basically a simple weight tracking app, but the whole idea is to avoid the usual bloat I kept seeing in other apps: accounts, BMI calculators everywhere, subscriptions, ads, “fitness journey” content, meal plans, dashboards that feel way too serious, etc.

The app is intentionally simple:

You log your weight, see your progress, and track the difference between entries. That’s pretty much the core of it.

The reason I made it is because years ago, when I was actively going to the gym, I used to manually write down my weight and calculate the difference from my last entry just to stay motivated. I looked for apps that did only that, but most of them felt overbuilt or annoying to use.

So I built the kind of version I personally wanted: lightweight, private, local-first, no account required, and not trying to turn weight tracking into a full fitness ecosystem.

I’m not posting this as a “please download my app” thing. I’m more curious if the positioning itself makes sense.

There are already a ton of weight tracking apps, so I’m wondering:

Would “simple, private, no-bloat weight tracking” actually stand out to people, or is this too small of a problem to care about?

Also roast the idea, store-listing, app positioning, monetization, anything.

I built a stress tester for supply chains. 10,000 simulations in 2 seconds. Roast it.

0 Upvotes

What it does

You build your supply chain as a graph. Drag in suppliers, factories, ports, warehouses, distributors. Pick a disruption scenario (port strike, earthquake, factory fire, cyber attack) and it runs Monte Carlo simulations to figure out what breaks, how badly, and what it costs you. P5/P50/P95 revenue loss, a resilience grade, and a list of your single points of failure.

The whole thing runs in under 2 seconds for 10,000 simulations. There's also an AI layer that gives you a concrete mitigation recommendation and can actually modify the graph to show you what fixing it would look like.

Why I built it

Most supply chain risk management is either a static spreadsheet or a $200k enterprise contract with a 6 month implementation. There's nothing in the middle for teams that actually want to stress test their network without hiring a consultant. I wanted to build that.

What I'm unsure about

Honestly not sure if the target user is a supply chain manager, a logistics consultant, or a founder running ops. I've been going back and forth on this for weeks.

Try it here: getrupture.com

Tell me what's broken, what's confusing, or why the whole idea is stupid. I can take it.

Please hear out my startup idea — it’s a bit unconventional.

3 Upvotes

I got this idea after noticing that brands like Cult have started focusing heavily on experience, onboarding, aesthetics, and community — not just equipment.

So I started thinking:
why don’t more gyms treat new members like premium brands treat new customers?

My first target market is gyms.

The idea is premium onboarding kits + onboarding experience systems that help gyms:

  • increase perceived brand value,
  • improve first impressions,
  • and feel more premium/community-driven.

Not trying to build another fitness app or supplement brand.

Would gyms actually pay for something like this?

Built a tool that translates dashboards/screenshots into client-ready updates. Pleaseee Roast away.

3 Upvotes

Sooo, I've been working on a small tool called ReportSauce.com

The basic idea: Upload screenshots, CSVs or exported reports → get plain-English summaries, talking points and ready-to-send updates.

The reason I built it: throughout my entire ad agency career, I realised I spend WAY too much time explaining numbers

Things like:

  • writing client summaries
  • Slack updates
  • “what changed this week?”
  • talking points before calls
  • translating dashboards into something humans (clients) can actually understand

…took forever.

Most reporting tools are good at showing data.

Very few helped me communicate the story behind the data.

So I built a tool that tries to handle that part.

Right now it supports:

  • screenshots
  • CSV uploads
  • spreadsheets
  • exported reports

Still early and rough around the edges.

A few people have already tested it with real Meta/Google Ads exports and internal reporting workflows, but I’m trying to figure out whether this is:

  • a real painful problem or
  • just something I personally got annoyed by over the years.

For context: I’ve worked in digital advertising/campaign management for 12+ years and this basically came from scratching my own itch after manually writing reporting summaries for clients over and over again.

Would genuinely love brutal feedback:

  • useful?
  • pointless?
  • too niche?
  • already solved?
  • missing something obvious?

I cofounded BidHound roast me

1 Upvotes

I co founded Bidhound about 8 months ago. My buddy Ryan and I have very different backgrounds. He worked for Apple and Yale in tech. I have a construction company and a real estate company. I got introduced to federal work and realized it was insanely annoying to get registered on Sam.gov. After 3 months and finally completing my onboard I couldn’t navigate the website to find jobs. Bidhound solves both of those problems. We offering onabording for new or existing businesses so they can bid and win federal work. Bidhound also for $100 a month for your state or $200 for the whole country gives you access to all the federal bids that come out, but everything is re formatted and simplified for normal people to use and understand… AMA

Roast my SaaS: vatnode — EU VAT validation API ($0/$19/$49/custom)

1 Upvotes

Site: vatnode.dev
Pricing: vatnode.dev/pricing
Docs: vatnode.dev/docs

What it does (one sentence): REST API that validates EU VAT numbers and returns the VIES consultation number — the audit evidence most competing APIs don't surface.

Stage: launched this week. Solo, bootstrapped, Finland-based.

What I want roasted, in order:

  1. Landing page hero — does "store the VIES consultation number" make sense in <5 seconds, or do I need a different hook for a developer audience? Worried it reads as legalese.
  2. Pricing page — Free $0 / Starter $19 / Pro $49 / Enterprise. Just moved from $0/$29/$99 because the jump was killing conversions. New tiers too cheap for a compliance tool now?
  3. Docs first-page — does the first code sample get you from zero to a 200 OK in under 2 minutes? Where do you bounce?
  4. Trust signals — no logos, no testimonials, no case studies (pre-launch). What would you add as a minimum-viable trust layer to feel safe putting a card in?

Roast away. Specific is more useful than generic.

Roast My Startup - Looking for Feedback on Financial Forecasting SaaS

2 Upvotes

Startup Name: Formulate Website: formulateinc.com

Alright Reddit, roast me. Here's my pitch:

What We're Building

Formulate is AI-assisted financial forecasting software for small business owners and founders who need a real financial model but don't want to build it from scratch in Excel.

Two ways to get started: describe your business in plain language and Formulate generates a complete model from that description, or set a revenue target and build line by line with your own assumptions. Either way, an AI analyst reviews your numbers as you go, flags inconsistencies, and recommends adjustments.

Output is a complete three-statement model: P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — all linked, all exportable.

Features

  • Prompt-to-model: describe your business, get a full financial scaffold in seconds
  • Guided build: enter assumptions line by line with AI reviewing in real time
  • AI flags inconsistencies and recommends adjustments as you work
  • Complete three-statement output (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
  • Export-ready for banker meetings, investor decks, and loan applications

The Market

33 million small businesses in the US alone. Most do their financial planning in Excel, Google Sheets, or not at all. The tools that exist are either built for accountants (too complex) or too simple to produce something a banker will actually accept. Formulate sits in the gap: real financial model output, without the finance degree.

How We're Different

Competitors: Excel, LivePlan, Finmark, and hiring a fractional CFO. Us: A guided, AI-reviewed three-statement model you can build in one session for $39/month. No consultant fees, no blank spreadsheet, no model that falls apart the first time someone asks a question about it.

Where We're At

Live product, free tier available, early paying customers. Pre-significant-traction.

How We'll Sell

  • Organic SEO content targeting small business owners searching for budgeting and forecasting help
  • Outreach to fractional CFOs, SBA loan brokers, and accelerator program managers as referral partners
  • Free tier converts to $39/month Premium

Why Me

I've modeled financials for the last 15+ years. I built Formulate because the tool I kept wishing existed didn't. Solo founder, no outside funding, building in public.

Tear this apart. What's unclear? What won't work? Why won't a small business owner trust this over a spreadsheet? Be brutal.

Hi, if you're into simple, family-friendly to-do apps with little birds, growing trees like you're a farmer, and that kind of stuff that makes you feel cozy, this isn't for you, feel free to tell me to go f*** myself in the comments.

I want to build a monster, an app that can manage every area of my life: fitness, finances, social, habits, knowledge, projects, events, and at the same time let me compete with my friends to see who hits 100kg on bench first (and in all the other areas lol).

Right now I'm wondering if there's actually anyone out there looking to tryhard their productivity, or if it's just me and my friends.

We're currently in MVP phase, functional, but with a long road ahead. I'm thinking about reformatting the main dashboard into a life wheel, because even with a Dior Sauvage I can't get rid of the vibe-coded smell.

Anyway, trying to build the next big thing with my little thing, some feedback would go a long way, let me know if you like the idea or if it's dead on arrival.

Roast my SaaS: I got sick of Canva, so I built a tool that turns any URL into automated Pinterest pins.

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Have at it.

The Product: PinEvolve (https://pinevolve.xyz/) Target Audience: Shopify owners, Etsy sellers, and niche bloggers who need organic traffic but hate the social media grind.

The Problem: Getting visual traffic from Pinterest means you have to constantly design and schedule vertical pins. For people with hundreds of products or blog posts, doing this manually in Canva is a massive bottleneck. It drains hours every week.

The Solution: I built a workflow where you literally just paste your listing/post URL. The tool scrapes the images and text, auto-generates the pin designs, and schedules them in the background. It turns hours of manual work into seconds.

What I want roasted: Tear my landing page apart.

  • Is the messaging actually clear?
  • Does it look trustworthy, or does it scream "cheap wrapper"?
  • Would you actually pay to save this kind of time, or is the pain point not big enough?

Don't hold back, I need the brutal honesty to fix the blind spots. Thanks!

I feel like I made a great app for me and nobody else. Need your feedback before continuing

6 Upvotes

I spent the last few months building Tabbed, a place for me and my friends to save things from all over the internet: websites, instagram posts, tiktoks, google map locations, stubhub pages, kayak searches, etc. It's been really helpful for me personally (no more lingering, open tabs in Chrome that I never go back to) so I decided to make it a bit more social by allowing people to make short posts with their favorite links and share them with their group of friends. No algorithm, no spam, no posts from people you don't know. Just curated recommendations and insights from the people you trust.

I genuinely believe everyone today is bombarded with content all day from all sides and we all make conscious (and subconscious) decisions on what we think is worth our time, and taken further, worth holding on to and sharing.

Other apps have tried doing this (Pocket, Delicious, etc.) but I think they all end up being alternatives to bookmarks or got too spammy. Tabbed is meant to save the things worth keeping and sharing, not dumping all your open tabs from your browser.

I am currently in the beta testing phase, am not raising any money, and am not willing to spend any more money unless I get some clear signaling from testers.

There is no real customer conversion strategy right now as there is no monetization strategy. I'm sure someone smarter than me can think of ways on how this thing could make money but, honestly, I am not thinking about that at the moment. Right now, I just need a few people to be passionate about using it and bring their friend groups/communities with them.

Am I the best person to be doing this? Probably not. I was a career management consultant and am currently a real estate investor that just loves to build things. I have had two successful exits, but I don't pretend to be the guy who can scale a tech company/product. If (and thats a big if) this thing gains any traction I would want someone other than me to take it to the next level. I'm pretty good at getting things off the ground and selling them but not the guy who scales companies.

So thats the core functionality: save from anywhere, share it friends, collaborate in shared collections, post what you believe in to your trusted network.

Give it a look at tabbedapp.com and roast the hell out of it before I keep wasting my time.

Roast my friend-making app: WeLynk. Solo, took a year. Tear it apart.

1 Upvotes

I wanted to make new friends online and realized there's no real app for it. You either add people you already know, or roll the dice on random-stranger sites. So I spent the last year solo-building WeLynk: an app that figures out who you'd click with, gives you 15 minutes to decide, and has things to do together that aren't just chat.

The matching engine is the part I'm proudest of. It doesn't ask for interests, age preferences, or any profile questions, and it doesn't read your messages. It learns from what you actually do in the app: who you add, who you don't, which conversations you stay in past the timer. Each match is a 15-minute window. Add each other inside it, or you can't match again. In my own data so far, after 10 to 15 matches it gets dialed in, and from there roughly 1 in 5 matches turns into someone you end up talking to for 2+ hours.

There are also 10 multiplayer games I built, and I tried to make each one feel like its own thing instead of 10 reskins of the same template. Imposter is a noir ticket dispenser. Chalk is a literal chalkboard. Flare has a Japanese card-game aesthetic. There's also Snake for 8, red-light-green-light, a Would You Rather with player-written prompts, and a few more. Plus the usual chat stuff: 1:1 and group chats, voice and video calls, voice notes, GIFs, stickers.

Bot and spam filtering and age-segregated matching are in from day one. It's free. The only money thing is optional cosmetics (pfp frames, message textures, animated pfps) if you want yours to stand out.

Try it: iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/6758581880 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.welynk.app Web: https://welynk.com

Roast everything. The matching engine logic, the game choices, the pricing model, the name, whatever. I'd rather hear it now than later.

6 months in on my restaurant menu SaaS. Free tier with no limits — am I being stupid? Roast me.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Solo founder, bootstrapped, no funding.

What it does:

A restaurant uploads their existing menu (PDF or up to 10 photos) and the tool:

  • Extracts every section, dish, description and price automatically
  • Translates the entire menu into 50+ languages on the fly (cached per request, so it's instant for repeat visitors)
  • Outputs a mobile-first menu with a universal QR code
  • Handles the 13 EU-regulated allergens out of the box (Regulation 1169/2011 — required across the EU and a nightmare to maintain manually)
  • Gives them a dashboard where they edit prices, hide dishes, swap themes from their phone

Whole import takes ~5 minutes. After that they run everything themselves.

Who it's for:

Cafés, food trucks, hotels & B&Bs, bars, small restaurants. Anywhere in the EU especially, because of the allergen requirement. I deliberately did NOT build it for chains — they have their own teams. The wedge is the independent owner whose current menu is a blurry PDF on a Google Drive link.

Pricing:

Free tier is actually free forever — unlimited menus, unlimited dishes, unlimited QR scans, allergens, one translation language, 15 prebuilt themes. No credit card.

Pro is €1.49–€6.95/month depending on country GDP (Spain pays less than Switzerland — felt fairer than flat pricing for a global product). Pro unlocks all 50+ languages, custom colors/fonts, and removes ads from the public menu.

Where I'm at:

Growing organic traffic, small but real number of Pro conversions. The free tier converts on its own once owners actually use it — the hard part is getting them to try in the first place. SEO and content are my main channels because cold outreach to restaurants is brutal and doesn't scale.

What I've learned:

  • Restaurant owners don't care about "AI." They care: does it look good on a phone, can my cousin update it, and how do I get it in front of customers.
  • I deliberately did NOT add AI-generated dish photos. Tested it, owners hated them — they look uncanny and tourists notice. Empty menu > fake-photo menu.
  • Free tier as a top-of-funnel works. Most competitors gate the basics (QR code, multiple menus, allergens) behind a paywall. I don't. The bet is that owners who actually use it daily upgrade for translations and custom branding.
  • "Translate your menu to 50+ languages" outperforms every other headline I've tested.
  • Biggest competitor is the owner thinking their PDF is "fine."

What I'd love feedback on:

  • Landing page: does the value prop land in the first 5 seconds? (topfood.app)
  • Free-forever tier with no signup wall — am I leaving obvious money on the table, or is this the right wedge?
  • GDP-tiered Pro pricing — gimmick or genuinely smart?
  • Organic acquisition ideas for this niche beyond SEO/content? Local SEO is working but slow.
  • Anything that screams "indie SaaS with no users yet" on the site that I'm blind to?

Be brutal. I can take it.

This is topfood.app.

Roast my voice-to-post tool for founders

1 Upvotes

I built a tool that lets you talk to your audience across platforms without sitting down to write.

How it works: you record a voice memo, and it generates a post for X, LinkedIn, and Reddit, adapted for each one. The goal is to shrink the gap between having the idea and it actually being on your profile.

I use it every day for my own accounts and it works for me. I get content out that isn't AI slop and sounds like me. But I'm obviously biased, so I want outside eyes on it.

Does the idea resonate? Would you actually use something like this, or does it sound like another posting tool? Roast away.

Happy to hear it's a bad idea if it is.

Built Flatmate Flow. Chores, bills, household admin for share houses. Currently in early access on web, planning to push native soon.

Before that I want to know what's dog shit about it. Landing page, the app, the name, the pricing, the value prop, whatever you can find. Rather hear it from you lot now than read it in a 1-star review later.

Specifically tear into:

Landing page. Does it explain what this is in 5 seconds, or does it sound like every other SaaS site?

Onboarding. Can you actually invite a flatmate without giving up halfway through?

The name and copy. AI slop? Generic? Try-hard?

Pricing if you make it that far

Anything that screams "founder hasn't shown this to a real user yet"

Link: flatmateflow.com

Stack: Vite + React + Supabase. Built it myself, not vibe-coded.

No "looks great, keep going" replies. The harder you go now, the less embarrassing the actual launch is. Send it.

Roast Glance: Your year at a glance calendar, synced to Google

3 Upvotes

My husband and I launched Glance a year ago: https://getglance.io/

We created it because pretty much every calendar app keeps you stuck in a month view, and we wanted more long-term visibility of our time (minimum 3 months) to...

  • plan our vacations,
  • prepare for busy months and upcoming commitments without accidentally overbooking overselves,
  • be more mindful of our time as it has a tendency to fly by.

We started off in an excel and got frustrated that it obviously didn't sync with our normal calendars, so we decided to build it.

Glance is also unique in that you can zoom out to a full year or zoom back in to individual day plans, and you can configure the visibility of your events so you only see "major" plans in the long-term view and everything in the day view (without constantly toggling calendars on/off). Additionally:

  • Syncs automatically with Google Calendar
  • Works on web + Android

My husband does the development, I do the marketing. It's slow going as we both work full-time jobs, but we're pretty proud of what we've built together and find it useful in our own lives.

During this year since launch, we've gotten 300+ sign-ups. Not horrible, but also not great. It's still free but we plan to add paid features in the coming months (there will always be a free base version).

I think the product is great (of course I am biased) but I'm struggling on the marketing side as we both have basically 0 following on social and we don't want to pay for ads until we have our paid version ready. I know the website needs a lot of work to look more modern and that will probably be next on my list.

What we'd appreciate your "roast" on, especially from people who are into productivity, time management and planning:

  • Messaging on the website: what resonates, what doesn't?
  • For the app itself, what do you like about Glance? Dislike? What is missing that you would need to make this an app you come back to regularly?

Appreciate your time!

Roast stoople.app, a community garage sale map I shipped in 1 week. Be brutal

2 Upvotes

What it is: live map of US garage sales, yard sales, estate sales, and free piles. Hosts list their own. Anyone passing an unlisted sale can drop a sighting pin. Chrome extension lets users one-click import sales they're already viewing.

For: US flippers, thrifters, estate sale hunters.

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, Supabase, Leaflet, Tailwind v4, Claude API for parsing messy real-world listing text into structured data.

Built in: 1 week, solo, Claude Code heavy.

Coverage: 14 US metros, strongest in Chicago.

Status: launched ~1 week ago, 56 visitors day 1-2, banned from 3 subs already.

Link: https://stoople.app

Things I'm already suspicious of, start here:

  1. Landing page assumes you already get the concept

  2. Sighting pin feature probably collapses below critical mass

  3. No clear pricing model yet

  4. Mobile map is cramped

  5. Chrome extension might be a gimmick masquerading as a wedge

  6. The name. Stoople. Maybe forgettable, maybe weird.

  7. 1-week build probably shows somewhere I haven't noticed yet

What I want torn apart: would you actually open this on a Saturday morning or just drive around your usual spots, is the value prop clear from the homepage in 5 seconds, is the community pin layer doing real work or dressing on something thinner, is the name a dealbreaker, and anything else that made you bounce in 30 seconds.

Don't be nice. I'd rather hear it from you now than figure it out at 1000 users.

Roast my AI email assistant. Is "read-only" enough to make you trust AI in your inbox?

0 Upvotes

Tear this apart.

The product is Forgetti (forgetti.co). It’s an AI email triage service for Gmail and Outlook.

The Premise: 90% of your inbox is noise. You miss important emails because they get buried under automated newsletters. Forgetti reads your incoming mail, scores it 0-100 for urgency, and splits it into "Focus" and "Buried."

The Differentiator: Superhuman just makes you sort your own trash faster. We use AI to actually judge importance so you don't have to sort at all.

The Friction Point: People are terrified of letting AI read their email. We counter this by using strictly read-only OAuth. We literally cannot send, modify, or delete an email.

Roast the landing page, the concept, and the messaging. Will pragmatic professionals pay for this, or is the security hurdle too high to overcome?

We’ve built an AI bot for mental clarity, not sure if it’s actually valuable yet, need honest feedback

1 Upvotes

We’re still figuring out whether this AI app is something people would genuinely keep using long-term, and I need more honest feedback.

A little while ago I made this Post about Thimin (Short for Thriving Minds), an early-stage voice AI we’re building for mental clarity and reflection.

The idea is still simple:

A space where you can talk openly, vent, think out loud, and hopefully leave feeling a bit more clear-headed.

Some people tried it and gave really thoughtful feedback, which helped a lot.

But now I’m trying to understand something deeper:

What would actually make an app like this worth keeping?

Right now, it’s easy for AI apps to feel interesting for a day or two, then get forgotten or uninstalled.

I don’t want Thimin to become one of those.

So I’d genuinely love honest opinions on these two questions:

1. What would make an app like this worth paying for monthly?

2. What features or experiences would make you keep coming back instead of uninstalling it later?

Could be anything:
better memory, emotional intelligence, voice realism, journaling, mood tracking, daily reflections, personalization, actual progress over time, etc.

I’m not looking for validation here.
If the answer is “nothing, I wouldn’t pay for this,” that’s useful too.

If you want to try it before answering:

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thimin-ai-life-coach/id6747063345

Really appreciate any honest thoughts, even harsh ones.
Roast the shit outta it.

Still trying to figure out whether this is genuinely useful or just another AI gimmick 🙏

Roast my startup idea — receipt cleanup before expense reports

2 Upvotes

https://expensumai.com/

Product: Expensum is an AI receipt cleanup assistant for people who hate expense reports. The goal is to connect your email/card, find receipts buried in Gmail, match them to card transactions, and help create a clean expense-ready packet before the user submits anything.

Use case: A sales rep, consultant, or small business owner has a bunch of card charges and missing receipts. Instead of digging through email and matching everything manually, Expensum does most of that cleanup for them.

Market: Busy professionals, sales reps, consultants, small business owners, and eventually bookkeepers/accountants dealing with clients who are always missing receipts.

Competition: Expensify, Concur, Ramp, QuickBooks, receipt scanners, etc. My thought is that most of these are either full expense platforms or dashboards people still have to manage. I’m not trying to build the full approval workflow first. I’m trying to solve the annoying pre-submission mess: finding receipts and matching them to transactions.

Stage: Very early. Landing page is live, product is in development, and I’m trying to validate the wedge before overbuilding.

Customer conversion strategy: Starting with founder communities, sales/consulting/small business pain-point research, and direct outreach to bookkeepers who deal with missing receipts. The first goal is beta users who will give feedback, not paid enterprise customers.

Why me: I work in finance/budgeting, so I understand the accounting side, but I’m building this because I’ve seen how stressful this is for people who are not finance people. I’m specifically trying to make expense cleanup feel less like software and more like actual help.

Roast me: Is this a real wedge, or am I underestimating how much of the value is actually in approvals, roles, policies, and exports? Would people trust this enough to connect email/card data? Is “receipt cleanup before expense reports” clear enough, or still too vague?

Built Proofin — an AI cold call simulator for people trying to break into B2B sales.

Here's the problem we're solving: SDR candidates get rejected not because they can't do the job, but because they have nothing to show hiring managers. A resume with no sales experience gets ignored. Certifications don't prove you can handle objections on a live call.

So we built a simulator where you practice cold calls against an AI prospect, get scored on opening, objection handling, and structure, and walk away with a shareable Proof Card — something concrete to attach to a job application or LinkedIn.

What I'm genuinely unsure about:

Is the Proof Card actually something hiring managers would care about, or is it just another piece of paper?

Are SDR candidates the right target, or should we go broader?

Does the "prove it before you get hired" angle resonate, or is it too niche?

Roast away.
