I spent years working on data infra. I got tired of the manual grunt work, so I built [CreatiVault](https://app.creativault.ai/growth/home) to automate my benchmarking and influencer tracking.

It does the job perfectly for me, but I’m struggling to get anyone else to try it.I’m a dev, not a marketer. So I have to ask:

Is my product actually useful, or am I just solving a problem only I have?

How do you get the first 100 people to actually sign up and test it?

I’m looking for a gut check—do I need to fix the product, or am I just looking in the wrong places?🙏
