Easy to remember name and great domain, nice work.

What are your near term goals for this (e.g. # of users)? How are you planning to grow? Releasing individual tools (without requiring a sign up) could be a good channel [0].

Thank you!

We're close to hitting our next milestone, about ~20 users away. This will allow us to purchase more commercial data licenses to expand our current coverage.

Growth is tricky as we'll need a healthy marketing budget to put us in front of enough potential users. I think we'll need to start raising capital once we hit our next milestone. Capital would also allow us to start working on this full time, which we currently are unable to.

That's an interesting approach, I think we have plenty of work to do on FINLO, so I wouldn't want to spread ourselves too thin. I go back and forth between having a free, limited plan or sticking with our current trial and premium system.
