📩 An investor reached out to me on LinkedIn, offering to help secure a $500k Pre-Seed round on AngelList for a 10% equity stake in #SmartShelf, provided we implement a few strategic product pivots: 🚀 🇺🇸 1. Exclusive Focus on the US Market We are removing all public mentions of other regions to ensure a sharp, single-market focus. (Technically, I will keep the discount feeds active under the hood for our existing audiences in Ukraine, Vietnam, and Nigeria 🤫). 🔄 2. Restructuring the Freemium & Premium Models: 🟢 SmartShelf Basic (Free Tier): 🛒 Daily Limits: Browse up to 5 stores and their internal discounts per day. 🔍 Local Search: Search is restricted to the inventory of a single selected store. 🧠 Smart Cart (3-Item Limit): Add up to 3 items to your shopping list, and the app calculates the most cost-effective route (e.g., "Buy eggs at Walmart, but grab meat at Kroger on your way home" 📍). 👑 SmartShelf Pro (Premium Tier): 💸 Optimized Pricing: $3.99/month (down from $4.99) or $29.99/year (down from $49.99). ♾️ Unlimited Access: Uncapped store browsing and discount views. 🌎 Global Search: Cross-store search within a 1–15 mile radius, sorted from cheapest to most expensive, with route mapping. 🛍️ Unlimited Smart Cart: Build massive weekly grocery lists. The app analyzes all surrounding networks and generates the ultimate money-saving route based on user geolocation 🗺️. 📊 Expanded Data Coverage: Beyond just discounts, the algorithm now tracks the top 500–1,000 everyday staples at regular prices to ensure the true lowest total checkout. 🔔 Price Drop Alerts: Add high-ticket items (like Ribeye steak) to a Watchlist. Get a push notification the moment scanners detect a price drop in your ZIP code. 📉 Price Tracker: A 3-month historical price chart to help users distinguish between real discounts and artificial retail markdowns. So I am fully on board with these changes. The ultimate goal is to build a genuinely viral product that millions of US users will love.🇺🇸 My team and I have a solid two weeks of intense development ahead 💻. The launch is slightly delayed, but quality and virality come first! 📈🔥 What do you think about the revisions from the potential investors? Do you agree with them?👇
