In that case, I’d continue supporting the platform with development, SEO, and growth work. This is completely optional. I am just mentioning it in case you prefer a partnership approach.</b></p></br>✅ $1,470 in Annual revenue✅ 3,200 customers✅ Business model: SaaS+Sponsorship✅ Built with AWS, Vercel, Heroku
