Congratulations on your launch.<p>Would love to see screenshots and a more to the point technical description of the methodology used.<p>What&#x27;s your edge? If you have some database of notable domains, aliases used by investors and celebrities when testing, etc - highlight that competitive advantage.<p>My traditional approach for recognizing new customers is a live websocket dashboard of signups that everyone sees in the office: email, free or paid, minutes on site.<p>Goal: finding first 100 people who love the product, celebrity or not.

Congrats on launching.<p>The front page feels pretty cluttered with stuff like the code snippet acting as a link to the payment page(?).<p>I think a monthly billing strategy is not beneficial. If I&#x27;m an early startup, I&#x27;m probably struggling to get signups in the first place, let alone VIPs.<p>What about one-shot mass uploads? I only need you to check the data once and (unless your VIP db updates) the data I get back is settled once and for all. Could easily lead companies to pay you $19 to upload 10&#x27;000 emails and then cancel their account.<p>Your market seems to be businesses who do many low-touch sales.<p>Other than that, it&#x27;s an interesting idea and I&#x27;m curious about seeing it in action.

If I&#x27;m a true journalist, would I use my true primary email when signing up for a product I&#x27;m reviewing?<p><pre><code> Ready to get started? Upload your existing email list </code></pre> Well, it&#x27;s a good way to harvest emails, anyway.
