I get the feeling you're about to make a whole lot of money. I'd move away from enterprise and try to aim for hobby coders with a micro transactions.

-> I'd move away from enterprise and try to aim for hobby coders with a micro transactions.

Thanks! That's actually an interesting point. We've been trying to reach out to enterprise and get some early users + feedback from them, we will start reaching out to hobby coders or even vibe coder to try out the product as well

I believe this was just a joke. I bet only heavily regulated enterprises would be interested in a product like yours, to checkmark their compliance sheet. Regular coders and smaller businesses won’t care.
Thanks for the feedback! We've had a few inbounds from early stage startups that try to sell to regulated industry so our assumption here is small startups might need our tool if they are targeting highly regulated industries(we could be completely wrong tho)

Joke or not, it actually made me consider reaching out to vibe coders, but yeah we are still validating the need

For the record this is not a joke, This is a very active need for alot of vibecoders. They know they need security but they don't know how/what they are missing. Check out the Supabase or Lovable reddits, people reporting that they got stung by mass bot signups etc every other day. Sure these are complex apps but they are trying to launch the next big thing.

If your paying $20 a month for an LLM coding app whats a $5 fee to get a once over before launch? I imagine this will keep the lights on as you try an land the corporate whales.

This seems like the wrong direction if you want to make a whole lot of money. Do hobby coders pay for anything?
They pay for Cursor and Lovable so whats a one off $5-10 Fee?
what do you think about solo dev/founder or indie hackers?
