In construction, you usually need to call several suppliers to get material supply estimates. This is very time-consuming so I wanted to automate that by developing a platform that connects each contractor's request with suppliers in 24 hours.

For every contractor that made a material request, I had to manually call 10 suppliers and ask them to sign up. Then, when I reached 30 active users, I was on the phone the entire day. No time to develop new features, no time to rest. That wasn't sustainable, added to the fact that it was unprofitable.
