Futurisitc Problem Solver

About

I'm Paul β€” a non-technical founder based in Texas with a simple mission: give service professionals the tools that actually help them win business. I've watched photographers, contractors, consultants, and coaches lose deals not because their work isn't good β€” but because the proposal experience let them down. Generic documents. No visibility. Sent into silence. I built Close to fix that. Not because I had a background in software β€” but because I saw a real problem and refused to wait for someone else to solve it. My goal is to make Close the default proposal tool for every service pro sending $1K-$150K custom deals. To give them the same intelligence and presence that big agencies have β€” without the big agency price tag. We're early. Growing fast. And just getting started.

Finished #6 on Product Hunt today πŸš€

Out of a couple hundred launches, that s honestly surreal. Huge thank you to everyone who supported, upvoted, commented, and shared, it really means a lot.

Big takeaway: building is only half the game, distribution, marketing, and timing matter just as much.

Now back to improving Embedful and doubling down on getting it in front of more people.

How much do you trust AI agents?

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.
