Building KlirProspect: From Product Development to Real Customers

Hi Lounge community!
I'm Philippe, Founder & CEO of Klirline Inc.
Over the past few weeks, we've been working on KlirProspect, an AI-powered prospecting platform designed to help small businesses discover potential customers, organize leads, and manage their sales pipeline.

Today, we're moving from building features to validating real customer demand.
Here's where we stand:

• Product launched and accessible online.
• 4 active accounts outside our internal QA environment.
• Goal: 5 verified business owners testing the platform.
• Next step: Gather honest feedback and validate willingness to pay.

Our biggest lesson so far?
Building software is one challenge. Getting customers to trust it, use it, and pay for it is another.
We're focusing on three things:

1. Finding real users who experience the problem we're solving.
2. Understanding whether KlirProspect delivers enough value to become part of their workflow.
3. Converting successful trials into our first paying customers.

I'd love your advice, founders:
When you launched your first SaaS product, what helped you convert early testers into paying customers?
And if you're a business owner or agency founder interested in testing KlirProspect, I'd love to connect.
