Congrats, this looks really slick.

My one big worry for this is that you might have built a company around something that might as well be a single feature for someone else with an existing foothold in the industry.

For example, most larger labels use Linkfire to manage smart links, pre saves, bio links, etc. There are other companies with similar offerings. This seems like an obvious addition to a suite like that. Have you considered the defensibility of your product if your one feature is incorporated into a tool that many potential users are already familiar with and use daily?

Your intention to be industry-agnostic does partially mitigate this. Also I imagine you'd build your own suite with additional features if you get a foothold with this one.

Disclosure: I work at Linkfire, so don't reply with anything you wouldn't want a potential competitor to know.

Edit: I just realized that this actually is just one feature of a larger offering. Looks great!

Thanks! Linkfire is definitely an inspiration for us and our goal is to build a suite of tools for fan identification, monetization, and communication.

We hope that by building for a wide array of creators and continuing to expand the toolset we can differentiate ourselves from some of the established products.
