The Opportunity

Problem

Solo retailtech founders can't acquire initial customers for their POS integration tools because retailers refuse to adopt unproven tech without demonstrated ROI.

Solution

ROISnapshot provides embeddable widgets where retailers input their data into a live POS sim, seeing real-time ROI from the founder's tool. Founders customize sim logic without code and embed on their site or share via link. Captures leads when ROI impresses.
