Show HN: Veeto – Find California bills that will impact your startup

Hey HN! We built Veeto to help small teams find California bills that could impact their startup. Describe what you're building (or link to your site) and we’ll flag relevant legislation with plain-English summaries.

The goal is to help small teams discover policy risks and opportunities earlier and, if they want, do something to influence outcomes.

We’re curious if something like this is useful, what’s missing, and whether you'd take action on a bill if the tools/agents were there. Any feedback is appreciated.

You can try it for free here: https://veeto.ai

I get why you want to collect emails, but at the same time, I'm out when I see this. If there was something on the front page setting an expectation that you will only see a sample of results to let you test thing out, that would make it better. But as-is it feels like a bait and switch to wait a minute for results and then see you want my email.

Hey, thanks. That makes sense - we'll change the copy.
