Congrats on the launch Saverio. The honest bit about previous startups failing on go-to-market makes this more interesting than the usual ābuild anything with AIā pitch. Denovo is taking on a lot though. Idea validation, branding, websites, payments, ads, lead generation, reporting. Iād want to know where the system is genuinely making decisions and where it is mainly automating setup. The green, yellow, red verdict also caught my attention. Has Denovo ever told a founder not to build something, and what evidence does it use to make that call? That could be one of the most valuable parts if it is willing to be blunt.
@os_ishmael great question!
I have been heads down building the product for over 12 months now. So, all of those integrations and functionalities took time to build. The hardest part has been making sure that all of those functionalities and integrations would feel in harmony with each other like an opera concert. We were able to do so thanks to the constant flow of product feedback coming from our customers.
Regarding the idea validation phase, Denovo is able to provide you a score based on your current competitors, market growth rate and builds a financial model projections for the potential revenue that your idea could generate in 3 years. The system then compares it with existing ideas on the platform to see where it stands in terms of risks and feasibility. The questions Denovo answers are: How much can you make? Is it easy to build? Is there any legal risks? Is someone else already doing this? Then it helps refining it to find your niche or getting clarity into what your unique value proposition could be. Hope this helps. What are you planning to build or are you already building?

solo-building this whole surface is wild, congrats. the part I'd want to understand before handing over Stripe and ad spend: when the growth engine sets up a Meta ads campaign on its own, does it launch and start charging the card right away, or does it wait for the founder to see the campaign once before it goes live? "you wake up to work you didn't do" is a great pitch for the email side, but ad spend is real money leaving an account unattended, that's a different risk tier than a cold email that just gets ignored if it's off target.
@galdayan we have implemented decision gates so that founders are always in control of what goes live. Great question!

Impressive scope for a single builder, transition from ML researcher to building a full-stack solo product is no joke, massive respect, qq how are you handling domain warmups so the automated outreach emails don't instantly hit spam folders? Congrats on the launch @saverio_pulizzi3 š
@priya_kushwaha1 thank you! It hasnāt been easy but it has been fun building it š To activate automated email marketing a founder needs to connect a Gmail account. Then the system does not send more than 30 emails per day. What are you planning to build?

@saverio_pulizzi3Ā Thanks for asking i'm nothing in the works just yet, but I'll definitely reach out once I start building something. all the best for launchš
Congrats on shipping. The Stripe piece is the part I keep coming back to ā wiring Connect the moment someone picks a domain means onboarding a merchant account per business, and platform review is usually what slows that down. Did you have to get Denovo approved as a Connect platform before any of those 15,000 could take a payment, or does each founder end up with their own standalone account?
@vollos we give founders control to decide whether they want the built in stripe connect or their own stripe account. Yes, we had to get approved first. Thanks for asking! Are you building on Denovo or using other platforms?

@saverio_pulizzi3Ā Other platforms ā I don't ship storefronts, most of my time goes into reading other people's code. Which is why the built-in Connect path is the bit I'm curious about: when a founder opens their revenue view, is the connected-account id pinned server-side from their session, or does each founder get their own restricted key?
@vollos this is a great question and I think you will love testing the product on a free trial!
Report
@saverio_pulizzi3Ā Storefronts are not my lane, so I would be a strange trial user. Congrats again on the day - 15,000 businesses running on it is a lot of trust to carry.
Report
@saverio_pulizzi3Ā @vollosĀ seconding this one since it never actually got answered. the account id is the whole security boundary here, if it's client-supplied or derived from anything a founder could tamper with, you can end up pulling someone else's revenue data or triggering a payout against the wrong connected account. pinned server-side from session state is really the only version of this that isn't a multi-tenant leak waiting to happen, worth getting a real answer on given 15,000 businesses are already running on it

Congrats on shipping! The gap between "I built a working thing over the weekend" and "someone paid me for it" is where most of these projects die. Nice to see someone aiming at that specific step. What does the first week with Denovo actually look like for a solo builder?
@ben_kahan after defining the right market, USP and ICP, you will build your brand assets, website, pitch decks, and then start generating some marketing assets. Then auto mode kicks in. This is when Denovo starts sending cold emails and setting up your advertising campaigns to get real traction. Would love to see what you build bro!

Congrats Saverio! The framing about the distance between an idea and a paying customer rings true, so many vibe-coded apps die at distribution rather than at code. Does the validation step ever tell people plainly that an idea is not worth building, or does it always suggest a pivot?
@doganakbulut it always suggests a pivot but it provides a score that turns red if is too low. This means if the founder wants to enter an already saturated market or if their idea is too hard to build.
@alieksia Denovo has a clear understanding of your ideal customer profile, so it finds leads that matches your product offerings. What are you building?
