12 weeks ago VIDI was basically an experiment.
No funding.
No team.
No legal background.
Just a simple question:
What if businesses could better understand contract risk before signing?
Since then:
90+ contracts analyzed
$10M+ in total contract value reviewed
agreements ranging from ~$40K to $6.7M+
repeat usage starting to appear
Today I finally turned on subscriptions.
Honestly, it already feels psychologically different.
When a product is free, people are much more forgiving.
The moment users start paying, every rough edge suddenly matters more:
UX,
clarity,
speed,
trust,
reliability,
and overall product quality.
What surprised me most is how differently I already look at the product myself.
Things that felt “good enough for now” yesterday suddenly stop feeling good enough once there’s a real price attached to them.
One thing I’m learning very quickly:
building becomes psychologically very different once real expectations enter the system.
Still extremely early.
Still learning every week while building VIDI.
Also added a couple launch promos for the first users:
TRENCHLINE → 30% off Starter
NANOMACHINE → 20% off Growth

Would genuinely love to hear how other founders/devs here experienced the shift from:
“building an interesting product”
to
“building something people actually pay for.”
Feels psychologically very different already.
