I'm building a tool that helps indie SaaS founders track MRR.

Indie founders already have Baremetrics, ChartMogul, and a spreadsheet. What's the wedge that beats all three?

AI summaries of revenue trends every Monday morning.

That's a feature, not a wedge. Who pays $29/mo for a Monday email when Baremetrics is free under $100K MRR? Find me 10 founders who'd pay. Today.

Talk to Prova about your idea...

Prova remembers every conversation. Forever.

Prova Online · remembers everything · default

She's been thinking about your business since you last logged in.

How it works

One idea in. Honest data out.

STEP 01

Drop your idea

Type a sentence. 20 characters is enough. Optional: paste a URL or upload a screenshot of your landing page.

Your idea

"A tool that helps indie SaaS founders predict MRR churn."

STEP 02

Prova does the work

Live scans of Reddit, X, competitor reviews, app stores. Synthesised into a scored Deep Dive — bull case, bear case, six dimensions, archetype label.

X posts analysed113

STEP 03

Talk to Prova

She references your specific competitors, the live quotes, and the weakest dimension. Chat that actually remembers your idea across sessions.

Why is distribution only 45?

Baremetrics owns that space. Your path isn't better features — it's a wedge they can't copy.

Your weakest dimension, called out

Founders who run a Deep Dive find their weakest dimension in under 3 minutes. Most didn't know it was there.

What comes back

In three minutes, you get a verdict you can defend.

Not a vibe. Not a yes-man. A scored Deep Dive with the bull case, the bear case, and the dimension that decides everything.

  • Bull case

    17 Reddit threads and 113 X posts in the last 30 days all hit the same pain: founders waste 4 hours/week reconciling Stripe and bank deposits. None of the three incumbents solve it. You'd own the “Monday morning truth” slot.

    Bear case

    Baremetrics is free under $100K MRR. Your $29/mo only works if the time saved is real. Prove it with 5 founder interviews before you write a line of code.

    Three commitments to keep you moving

  • 1.Book 5 founder calls this week. Not surveys — calls.
  • 2.Write the Monday-email landing page by Friday.
  • 3.Ship a fake-door test before another Deep Dive.
  • What Prova does

    Not a chatbot. A cofounder.

    The cofounder who was thinking about your business while you slept

    Three-tier memory: every conversation, every decision, every commitment. Forever.

    Told 400+ founders their distribution was broken before they wasted 6 months

    Live Reddit, X, and competitor reviews. Scored across 6 dimensions with cited sources.

    Won't let you run another analysis until you ship something real

    Three commitments after every Deep Dive — designed to make you ship, not just plan.

    Still said no when you pushed back three times

    Prova doesn't agree because you pushed back. She cites the data and stays on it.

    Turns your validated idea into a doc you hand to a developer today

    One click turns your Deep Dive into a product requirements doc you can hand to a developer.

    One card. Your score. Your archetype. Built to post.

    The commitment gate

    She won't run another analysis until you ship something real.

    Every Deep Dive ends with three commitments. Until you knock them out, the next dive is blocked. No “analysis paralysis” button. Prova would rather you go do something than read another score.

  • 3 commitments — scoped, time-boxed, shippable this week.
  • Hard block — zero completed commitments = no new Deep Dive. Application-layer gate, not a warning.
  • Streak tracking — every commitment shipped builds your streak. Break it, and Prova notices.
  • Hold on, founder. Last time you said you would book 5 founder calls, write the landing page, and ship a fake-door test. None of those are done. I am not running another analysis until you go do something real. Which one will you tackle first?

    Look, I just need one more dive to nail the positioning. The market moved this week.

    Book the calls first. If 3 out of 5 confirm the wedge changed, I'll re-run it for free. If they don't, no amount of new data saves this.

    Memory that doesn't reset

    Every conversation makes her smarter. Every session picks up where the last one stopped.

    Three tiers. Hot for the live session. Warm for the last 30 days. Cold forever via semantic search. No more re-explaining your idea every time you open the tab.

    Semantic recall

    Every quote, every score history entry, every PRD — kept forever and pulled only when it's relevant. Nothing ever gets lost.

    Pulled 2mo later: "baremetrics pricing model" from your second Deep Dive

    Pulled 4mo later: "first paying user" commitment, still open

    But every founder in YC is shipping this exact thing. Are you sure distribution is only 45?

    YC companies reach founders in a $500K community — you don't. Of 113 X posts this month using "indie SaaS tooling", 0 cited distribution as their problem. They cited churn and pricing. Distribution is real, but it's not your wedge.

    Honestly the analysis is great. Let's just go with what you said and call it a day.

    I'm not here to make you feel good. I said 72, not 84. Go read the bear case again and decide if you still want to ship it.

    Personality, not politeness

    She never agrees to make you feel better.

    Hardcoded rules, not vibes. She can't say “great question.” She never starts a message with “I.” She keeps casual replies under 150 words. She cites the specific data point she's disagreeing with.

    You don't need a yes-man. You need someone who will tell you your idea has distribution problems at 11pm and not soften it.

Questions?

What makes Prova different from ChatGPT?

Prova has permanent memory of your entire business journey. She remembers your past analyses, pivots, and commitments. She combines live market research (Reddit, X, competitor reviews) with accountability built into the product — she doesn't just agree with you, she pushes back with evidence.

How long does a Deep Dive take?

About 3 minutes. Prova runs searches in parallel across web, Twitter, Reddit, and app reviews. You get a scored analysis with bull case, bear case, six dimensions, and an archetype label.

Is there really a free trial? What's the catch?

Seven days, no credit card. You get the full Builder plan: 5 Deep Dives, 500 messages, full memory, PRD generation. After 7 days, choose a plan to continue. No free tier.

What happens to my data after I cancel?

All your analyses, commitments, and Prova conversations remain in your workspace. You can access them anytime. We never delete your data unless you explicitly request it via Settings → Delete Account.

Is my idea data shared with other founders?

No. Your Deep Dives, business context, and market research are 100% private. Only anonymised percentile rankings (not idea details) are used for benchmarking across the platform.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Sign up, run your first Deep Dive, use the full trial for seven days. We'll ask for a card only if you choose to continue past the trial.

Three minutes from now, you'll know.

Whether the market is real, your competitors are weak, and your distribution is the wall you keep avoiding.
