DigitalGrowthHacksClubQ: To the founder.
How can you guys sustain this type of usage from so many LLM from a life time deal. I have seen a few ai companies come and go in less than 12 months. I want to know:
1. How large is your team?
2. How many monthly paying customers do you have right now?
3. What do you plan to do with the few dollars you get from this LTD?
4. Where do you see Straico in 3 years? (Normally I say 5 years but ai change as much as I go to the bathroom)

May 15, 2024A: Hello DigitalGrowthHacksClub,
Thank you for your interest in our LTD and for raising important questions about Straico's sustainability. I'll do my best to address your concerns:
1. Our team is relatively small but highly skilled and dedicated. We are two co-founders (Juan as CTO and me as CEO), four developers, a product manager, and Alejandra as the head of marketing.
2. While we're still in the early stages, we've recently surpassed a hundred monthly paying customers, which is a significant milestone for us.
3. We have forecasted that the funds raised from the AppSumo will provide us with an 18-month runway (so far so good), allowing us to focus on product development and growth - we are following the lean startup methodology to reach product-market fit. Don't worry, we understand that sustainable, recurring revenue is crucial for long-term success. We see the LTD as a way to showcase our platform within AppSumo and gather valuable feedback from sumolings that are composed by early AI adopters and avid AI enthusiasts (just what we need).
4. Looking ahead, our vision for Straico is ambitious. In the next year, we plan to enhance our LLMs with capabilities that allow seamless interactions with external platforms and APIs. This means users could summarize their emails and reply them, post WordPress articles, and more, directly through our platform. We're also working on a public template library to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration within our community - You can see more about this in our Discord Community (we love to build in public and we even share the UIs before starting to code)
In three years, our grand vision is to establish Straico as the premier destination for generative AI tools. We aim to eliminate the need for multiple subscriptions, providing a comprehensive solution for all your AI needs.

On a final note, our coin-based system plays a fundamental role in ensuring sustainability, allowing users to flexibly manage their usage across all LLMs.
I hope this addresses your concerns. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
