Reason for selling
I'm a builder, not an operator. Built this as a portfolio piece demonstrating clean AI SaaS architecture — provider-abstracted AI layer, production-ready PDF engine, case study matching algorithm. The codebase is complete and deployed. I'm moving on to my next venture and won't have bandwidth to do the GTM work this product deserves (content marketing, sales outreach, SEO). Looking to hand it off to someone who wants to take it to market — the hard part (AI pipeline, PDF engine, case study matching, auth, deployment) is done. Buyer can wire up Stripe, add multi-tenant auth, and start charging in a weekend. I'd rather see this ship with someone who'll push it than let it sit unused. 30 days of email Q&A included. Full GitHub repo transfer. 1-hour onboarding call to walk through the codebase.
