#3Wish there was some info about what the site does without signing up.
Also, I would remove the question asking for business description and planning/modeling needs from the signup form.

edit: Oh I see, you have to go to the default landing page to get more info. https://opstarts.com/ -- Should fix that, at least make the navigation element in the upper left of app go to that landing page.

#6Love the idea! Would gladly pay for it if it supported physical product sales. i.e., ability to add COGS, have a gross margin, etc. Correct me if I am wrong but your current iteration is more geared towards SaaS startups.

Did you get any message at all? (trying to debug, as it seems to be working).

we started with SaaS, so we currently have the most functionality there. However, we are rapidly building out that kind of support. We already support linking expenses for each sale you make to support basic COGS and will have much more soon.
