Validated Business Idea
The $29/mo command center for solo tradespeople. No fluff, just jobs.
Flat $29/month subscription for unlimited jobs and customers. Additional 1% platform fee on all payments processed through integrated Stripe/Apple Pay. 92% gross margin expected after Twilio/Stripe costs.
Pricing Tiers
Margins: No server costs until >500 active users. Hosting on Render ~$5–15/mo. Gross margins 85%+ once customer base grows.
Solo-operator plumbers, electricians, and handymen who currently use paper notebooks or basic text messages. They are losing leads by not answering phones while working and find Jobber/Housecall Pro too expensive ($100+/mo) and feature-bloated.
Weeks 1-2: Build landing page with 'Early Access' deposit; set up T3 stack (Next.js, Supabase, Tailwind). Weeks 3-6: Develop core 'Fast-Booking' flow (SMS auto-reply to missed calls via Twilio + simple calendar UI). Weeks 7-9: Onboard 5 local beta testers from Craigslist/Nextdoor; integrate Stripe Invoicing. Weeks 10-12: Full launch; run $500 targeted Meta ads at 'Self-Employed' tradespeople; automate referral discounts.
