If there's no API, it's not a product, it's a service.

Tagline

One person, one product, no finance help. Wants banking that behaves like infrastructure: an API, webhooks, and nothing that needs a phone call.

Background

Ships a developer tool used by 1,900 teams, $18k MRR, no employees. Handles bookkeeping on Sunday nights and wants every recurring task automated. Judges a company by its docs and its status page.

Goals
  • Automate invoicing and payouts through an API
  • Never speak to a human to move money
  • Keep books current with zero manual entry
Pain points
  • Mandatory onboarding calls
  • Dashboards with no export
  • Any product without a public API reference
Behavior

Goes straight to /docs; tests search before navigation; judges velocity from the changelog.

Triggers

A manual task repeats twice; a customer asks for invoicing; a Sunday-night bookkeeping session.
