Relaunching Grant Hustle after our payment system crashed on launch day
We launched Grant Hustle a few weeks ago - a grant matching tool for nonprofits and small businesses at $27.99/month (vs Instrumentl's $179/month).
Day 1: Traffic spiked and our Stripe checkout completely died. People couldn't subscribe.
Instead of just patching it, we:
Rebuilt the entire payment flow with Supabase Edge Functions
Added features our competitors don't have (400+ fiscal sponsor database, AI LOI generator)
Created better error handling for scale
Now we're relaunching with lifetime discount codes:
FIRSTTEN: 90% off for first 10 people
LAUNCH40: 70% off for next 40
FIRSTMONTH: $9.99 first month for everyone else
Built for nonprofits, artists, and solopreneurs who can't afford enterprise tools.
