We track products from a supplier first mindset, right?

Why would you try, for example, let's take Jungle Scout, right?

Jungle Scout tracks different niches within Amazon, right?

The thing is, you're missing is those products are already being sold, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
20 Year Old Sells $15k Lanyards, Now Ecomm Research Tool

That means that market is already fairly saturated.

If you want to find a good product to sell in e-commerce, you need to find a supplier first, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

One that's not yet being sold on Amazon, one that's yet not being dropshipped, which is where we come in, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We track products on AliExpress, on CJ Dropshipping, on these different platforms, abstract that all for you and provide you basically, you know, assorted...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

you know, sorted products in terms of demand or in terms of how many stars they have, or in terms of how many sales they're getting each week.

So, yeah, that's one thing I was expecting.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

When I originally joined, I used the manual hand-picked products, which was useful.

But one thing I noticed is the automated tracking is so much better.

I feel like there was a competitor, I believe, Niche Scraper, which also aimed to basically track products on AliExpress.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

The main thing you're missing with AliExpress, though, is these are Chinese products.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
20 Year Old Sells $15k Lanyards, Now Ecomm Research Tool

These are quite low quality.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's important to include other selections, such as CJ Dropshipping.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
20 Year Old Sells $15k Lanyards, Now Ecomm Research Tool

Yeah, we're definitely aiming for around 8,000 customers.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
20 Year Old Sells $15k Lanyards, Now Ecomm Research Tool

And the main reason for that is- By when?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
20 Year Old Sells $15k Lanyards, Now Ecomm Research Tool

By December.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Not 8,000, 1,000 paying customers.
