In the AI era, almost anyone can build a SaaS product. A Reddit summarizer, a LinkedIn job search tool, or many similar apps are no longer hard to create. Building is not the hard part anymore.
The hard part is getting real monthly recurring revenue. Many AI SaaS products never reach strong MRR. Many B2B products built with AI get accepted on AppSumo, and that gives founders a good early boost. Still, most of these products stay side projects instead of becoming large businesses.
Some founders solve real problems with deep technical skills. They write good code and build useful products. Yet they still fail. The product is not the problem. Execution is.
I made the same mistake with my first product. I repeated it with my second one. I focused on building and ignored go to market, sales, and distribution. I thought a good product would attract users on its own. It did not.
This time I will do things differently. I will start with marketing. I will find users, test demand, and learn how to sell the product. Then I will write the code. My view is simple.
Being the first mover does not guarantee success. A later competitor with better execution can still win.
Most "verification" online isn't real verification. A blue checkmark you can buy for $8/month. A link-in-bio page where you just type a URL and hope people believe it's yours. None of it actually proves you own the account you're claiming.
I built Scoop to fix that.
Connect/Log the accounts you already use (Google, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) through secure sign-in ownership is cryptographically verified, not just typed in
Add any other profile you want to log, including platforms that aren't officially supported with secure sign-in
Every event you attend, Journey you join, and review you leave is tied back to that verified profile no anonymous accounts hiding behind the interaction, which deepens your validity
Hosts creating events can see verified RSVPs before anyone shows up at the door and cross verfiy the users accounts when they show up
It's live on iOS now, and I'm launching publicly on Product Hunt tomorrow.
I got tired of budgeting apps charging a monthly fee to categorize my own transactions often by sending my bank data to a cloud API. So I built ClearBudget, a personal budgeting app for Windows that runs its categorization AI entirely on your machine (via Ollama). No cloud, no API costs, no subscription.
