April 3, 2019 Created a marketing webpage

Worked closely with my designer friend to get a basic page up outlining the product :)

The goal was to test if there is any interest in signups by potential users. The site was created using a static html free template on a shared server hosted with a couple of other domains i owned.

The site is responsive and straight to the point. The next go is to see if we can secure interest in the product. :)

August 13, 2018 Research Research Research!

I started spending time doing research on the various solutions available and I found many. However, all these services did still did not address the pricing challenge and ease of use - except for Waveapp.com.

I believe invoice management can be easier. The balancing act is how to achieve a simple solution that just works without too much hassle - go back to the basic HTML days over Wordpress :) - SIMPLICITY.

I come from a business background with deep understanding of how technology works. So this idea is being created from a business solution point of view. How do i solve a payment problem? Who are the underserved in the market? What are their pains?

I went out and spoke with a couple of people and found that the main challenge is how small businesses deal with day to day management and operations. This is a pain point and they require totally simple solutions that will cost them next to nothing.

Next stop - finding a technical cofounder :)

July 3, 2018 Ideation - How to solve my issue

So I had been using different invoicing platforms for many years now. However, they all seemed to fail in solving my main issue - limited customer management on the lowest paid plan. The main challenge for me is that I just did not make enough money to justify the amount to be paid for just invoicing alone. Also the way things work in my part of the world is quite different as we hardly have repeat customers.

I then started looking into invoice management etc. The one thing that struck me was how similar all the platforms are and how limited in options to the price sensitive consumer. In the west $9 may not be anything, but in Africa - its a lot for just one of many services.

Now i have decided to create an invoicing platform to solve my problem and that of a number of people like me.
