Solo founder, one stoplight town, building the intelligence platform ports didn't know they needed

by

Hey Product Hunt — I'm Bret Munsen.

I live in Elma, Washington. Population 3,000. One stoplight. The kind of town where everyone knows your truck.

I founded CedarOS AI alone. No co-founder. No investors. No office. Just me, Claude, and a lot of coffee.

What I'm building: AI intelligence platforms for the people everyone forgets to build for.

Port directors who spend 2 hours every morning manually pulling data from 7 different tools. Small business owners who can't afford a research team. Harbor masters who miss millions in federal grants because no one told them the money existed.

I build for the overlooked.

The flagship product — CedarOS Ports — delivers a 5 AM intelligence brief to port directors covering vessels, rail, weather, grants, compliance, and labor signals. All fused. All automatic. Before they wake up.

Built by one guy in a small town in the Pacific Northwest.

Launching CedarPulse June 17 and CedarOS AI June 18.

If you've ever built something for a market everyone else ignored — I'd love to hear your story.
