The Opportunity

Problem

SaaS bootstrappers targeting student group projects can't collect payments because universities block them, forcing students to stick with free tools like Discord.

Solution

Generate policy-compliant invoices that uni treasurers approve from club budgets, avoiding card blocks. Track invoice status and auto-followups. Integrate with your SaaS for access upon payment confirmation.
