Just launched OptiGain — a financial intelligence SaaS I’ve been bootstrapping from Kenya.
I’m 19 and have spent months building this mostly from scratch.
OptiGain helps businesses:
• Track revenue and profit in real time
• Automate payment matching (Paybill integrated)
• Manage inventory with historical snapshots
• View day-by-day revenue records that remain available even later
• Get forecasting and business insights in one system
What I cared about building wasn’t “another dashboard.”
It was giving small businesses something many don’t have:
clarity.
Know what came in.
What went out.
What profit is real.
What stock changed.
What happened on any given day.
Current model:
7-day free trial
KES 1,500/month subscription
First users onboarding now
I’d love feedback from founders here on:
Pricing — does this feel too low/high?
Distribution — how would you get first 100 customers?
What would you improve in positioning?
Building in public has taught me a lot. Happy to share the journey.
Bootstrapped from Kenya. Shipping and learning.
