Saved online shoppers RS 14M but now I'm stuck

Hi, I'm one of the founders of https://dhundo.store/

In one line, it's a last stop AI product search engine that finds you what you want to buy online, for cheaper, across 200+ stores.

Everyone that uses it likes it. In the beginning we had some significant problems in the search time going upwards of 3 minutes totals and 1 minute to first product display. Got a lot of gaalian from the Pakistani awam on Reddit for how slow it was.

Worked on it and now time to first product is 2 sec and average total is 32sec.

So again, everyone that uses it loves it because it's a bridge to many Pakistani e-commerce stores and if you know what you want it's genuinely helpful to find it cheaper else where.

The problem I'm getting is spreading the word about it. I'm also attaching my Google analytics here too. I had a couple viral videos on insta which are the peaks but my new user rate shows that not many are coming back to the app after first use.

I'm now consistently marketing and it's not reaping much results. I have no idea how to get out of this hole.

Some context. Pakistani going for MSCS to Columbia this fall.

So I've been gathering my money from here and there.

I'm going to get my i20 this week and need to be in NYC by mid August.

I've been making my bank statement since April first with the cash I need. I didn't have the money needed before that since I made arrangements.

How long do I need to show this money in my account? I've heard it's 3 months which means I have to get an interview date for July. Isn't that cutting it too close?

If someone else has gone through this please let me know would be very helpful.

I'll be straightforward and this is me passing the torch on to my juniors.

I made https://www.studybahir.site/ which asks you the right questions to pair you up with the consultancy that could help you the most.

I didn't know anything myself and this is a work of sleepless nights trying to know which consultancy would be best.

It's free forever, and I'll be adding my own resources and help guides to this platform, so if you want that signup and I'll shoot you an email when it's ready.

It has over 200 consultancies I've personally talked to.

I'm going to Columbia University MSCS this fall, I'm a multi gold medalist at FAST Islamabad, and startup co-founder at NIC Islamabad, fyi.
