Narrow a crowded tool to one buyer and plug into the software they already use

Who it’s for
Someone with some technical or marketing skill who wants to build a small subscription software product for a specific professional audience.
The lesson
Survey tools are a crowded category, yet a small remote team built a business in it by serving one kind of buyer, product and growth teams at software companies, and connecting to the data tools those buyers already run. A newcomer can copy the narrowing, not the scale.

Who pays and why

The buyers are product, customer-success and growth teams at software companies. They need answers from users at the right moment, for example after sign-up or before cancelling, and want results to land in the tools they already use. Pricing by monthly active users means the bill grows with the customer's size, and a free tier lets a team test before paying. Named customers on the site are mid-sized software and fintech companies; no results are quantified beyond customer testimonials.
