Hi Product Hunt 👋
We're a small team in Kigali. Every idea tool we tried told us our ideas were great. None told us the thing investors actually ask: what stops someone bigger from copying this?
So we built Moat Check. You describe your idea, and it:
• searches the live web for companies already doing it
• names the one with the users, data or distribution to copy you fastest
• scores 10 moat tests (network effects, proprietary data, switching costs, platform risk…)
• tells you the single move that would make the idea more defensible
What we learned from the first 28 ideas: AI wrappers score lowest (an AI medical scribe got 15/100, with Epic as the likely copycat). Ideas that own a network or a dataset score highest.
Your first analysis is free with no sign-up. We'd love to hear who it says will copy you, and where you think it's wrong.
