Building a complex SaaS was the easy part. Now I need proof.

I've spent the last several months building PrivacyKit, a GDPR consent management platform SaaS.

I built it because I became frustrated with how most CMPs stop at collecting consent and leave enforcement and validation to the customer.

Most compliance scans I've tested tell you which cookies they found. The more important question is which trackers are running, when they're running, and whether they're respecting user consent. That's the problem I built PrivacyKit to solve.

PrivacyKit combines consent collection, consent enforcement, and runtime compliance validation in one platform.

The challenge now isn't visibility, it's proof.

I genuinely believe I have something better than most of the alternatives I've looked at. The problem is that being right about the product doesn't make people buy it.

What I need most right now is proof that real websites are using PrivacyKit, proof that it works in production, and proof that founders trust me enough to put it on their own sites.

If you're a founder running your own website using Google Analytics, Google Advertising, Meta Pixel, HubSpot, or similar tracking technologies, preferably with a real brand and real traffic, I'd love to work with you.

In return, you'll get 6 months free, direct access to me as the developer, and my full attention when it comes to onboarding, support, and feedback.

My goal is simple: help a handful of founders improve their GDPR compliance, learn from real-world usage, and build the references and case studies needed to earn trust in the market.

If that sounds interesting, I'd love to hear from you.

    "Being right about the product doesn't make people buy it."
    That line hit hard.

    I'm Minchul, 57, former construction manager from Korea.
    Built Slash it — an Email Decision OS.
    Product is live. Proof is what I'm chasing too.

    Good luck finding your first real users.

      Thanks, Minchul. Sounds like we're both at the proof stage. I tried looking up Slash It but couldn't find it online. If you have a website up, I'd be happy to take a look and give you some feedback, if that's something you'd find useful.

    This is a strong problem, but I think the risky part is the offer shape.

    “6 months free” is generous, but for this kind of product the founder’s real hesitation is not price. It is trust, implementation risk, and whether putting a compliance layer on their live site creates more anxiety than confidence.

    So the proof problem is not just getting users. It is getting the right first websites where the trust story becomes believable.

    I would not solve that loosely in the thread because the wrong first users can give you activity without creating usable proof.

    Send me your email and I’ll put the tighter first-proof path together properly.

      Good point. That's also why I'm looking for a handful of founders rather than trying to maximize adoption. The goal isn't activity for activity's sake - it's building proof that future customers can trust. I'm confident in the product, but confidence isn't proof. Real-world usage, references, and feedback are.

        Exactly. That’s the right distinction.

        Confidence helps you keep building, but proof has to be designed more carefully. Otherwise you can get usage and feedback that feels useful but does not actually make the next customer trust the product faster.

        I’d turn this into a clean first-proof path rather than more general founder outreach.

        If useful, share your email and I’ll write the tighter version properly.
