AI Told Me to Start This Business. So I Did.

Synopsis

Solo episode validating a QuickBooks/Xero competitor idea: scrapes GummySearch, Reddit, Capterra, G2, GetApp, and TrustRadius; top pain points are unreliable bank feeds, constant price hikes, and weak support; must-haves are clean invoicing, simple reconciliation, and multi-user cloud. Launches LazyBooks.com as a Carrd + Beehiiv waitlist targeting 0-10 employee businesses.
