The Opportunity

Problem

Independent developers can't get their devtools approved by enterprise procurement and legal teams without a dedicated sales team.

Solution

ToolProxy wraps any indie devtool with enterprise essentials like SSO, audit logs, and uptime SLAs via a simple proxy URL. Indies point their tool to the proxy, configure via dashboard, and share procurement-friendly hosted links. Enterprises access via trusted domain without custom dev.

Target Audience

Independent developers (indies) selling devtools to enterprises

Differentiator

Zero-code proxy deployment for devtools, with auto-generated SLAs—faster than building wrappers.
