looking for 2 people actually trying to start their first business

i’m finishing up a SaaS called FirstTrail that helps first-time founders figure out what to start and what to do next based on actual evidence instead of just giving them a generic roadmap.

i’m getting close to opening a small tester group and i’m looking for maybe 2 more people who are genuinely trying to start something right now.

not looking for people who just want to click around for 5 minutes and say it looks cool. i need people who will actually use it for their real situation and tell me where it helps, where it’s confusing, and where it sucks.

if that sounds like you, tell me what you’re trying to start and what you’re currently stuck on.

I finally put the public page up for my first SaaS and would love some honest feedback before I let users in

I’m 16 and I’ve been building my first SaaS for the past few weeks called FirstTrail.

The basic problem I’m trying to solve is something I struggled with myself: wanting to start a business, but not knowing what to start, whether an idea actually makes sense, or what the next step is once you choose something.

FirstTrail is supposed to help a first-time entrepreneur go from:

“I want to start something but I have no idea what to do”

to

choosing/focusing on a business → validating it → building it → actually knowing what to do next.

I finally got the public page live at firsttrail.co.

The actual app is not publicly open yet. Right now the site has:

  • the landing page
  • a guided demo showing how the product works
  • an early-access signup

I’m doing a full beginner QA pass on the actual product right now before I let real people go through it. I want the first users to be able to use it without me sitting next to them explaining everything.

One thing I’ve learned building this is that getting the code working is only part of it. Figuring out whether people immediately understand the problem, trust the product, and know what to do next has honestly been harder than I expected.

If anyone here has a minute to look at the public page/demo, I’d really appreciate honest feedback on:

  • Can you tell what FirstTrail does quickly?
  • Does it feel like something made for a first-time founder?
  • Is anything confusing or vague?
  • What would you need to see before you’d trust something like this enough to actually try it?

I’d rather hear what sucks now than find out after I start letting people in lol.

I’m also happy to look at what other people here are building and give feedback back.
