Launch day at indie.biz
The new site is live. It was a long, tough summer, but I'm happy with where we arrived. Thanks to everyone in this community for the insight and support. It was particularly motivating to overcome my fear of launching, although I'll admit that today fear feels like the only reasonable response.
Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on launching! I'm not your target user (already working on my own company) but your idea was clear, and I can see how this would be attractive to an aspiring entrepreneur.
One suggestion to consider: are you going after entrepreneurs who are trying to open their own coffee shop, or entrepreneurs building SaaS businesses? It would help to clarify!
Separately, why don't you show off a sample market report so I can get a better idea what I'll be receiving if I sign up.
Good luck!

Thanks Jonathan -- we're actually targeting any kind of small business which is why it's a bit broad.
Your suggestion for showing off what you get is a good one. I'm creating a little demo video that should be up by tmrw. Thanks for checking it out and sending feedback.
I tried signing up, but I'm stuck with the error "Industry: Type of industry is required"...even though I filled it out.
Hrmph, yes I have heard some people got stuck on that. We're using the code.gov API to match to NAICS code. Best solution we found but a little tetchy.
Perhaps it's returning the wrong error... I'm from Canada, so no Zip code - I was trying to spoof one.
Nice! What did you use to build it?
It's Django in back / React in the front.
Oh nice!
