Early traction, but blocked by payments and funding. What would you do?
by•
Hey PH fam
I launched Lumoar (B2B SaaS startup) three weeks ago and we have already seen over 100 users sign up and lots of positive feedback. It’s clear there is a demand and I feel there’s potential in this.
But now I have hit a wall.
Because of my country, international payment platforms like Stripe or PayPal don’t provide API access — so I can’t monetize or implement a paid plan right now. I’ve talked to some investors, but they expect initial capital or revenue before they’d consider funding.
Bootstrapping got me this far, but moving forward without monetization or investment is getting really difficult.
If you’ve dealt with something like this (or just have thoughts), I’d love to hear:
What would you do in this situation?
Any creative approaches, funding workarounds, or even alternative payment methods I should look into?
Appreciate any advice 🙏
