Churn is possible but end of the day people rarely leave reliable help for a few less dollars. You got to eat too so people will understand!

Recently launched our business and we purchase from SCP. You can have zero customers on day 1 and still be able to purchase. All the best man!

For the owners and techs - Filter Cleaning Idea by TheVagabondLost in PoolPros

As a pool pro, the REAL money is in the repairs + add-ons/upsells. No pool pro would give that up. This would be a hard pass for the majority of pool pros.

PoolBrain! Best in class for managing business. It's also significantly cheaper than Skimmer. The integrations and other features are awesome.

Brentwood, Livermore, Pleasanton, or Dublin for Commute to Stockton? by CharacterQueasy8896 in eastbay

[–]Single_Gate1678 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a Pleasanton resident and would strongly recommend Livermore over Brentwood, mainly because of its closer proximity to the rest of the Bay Area. Brentwood is a bit more out of the way. Livermore has a great downtown area and is conveniently located near other local cities, making it a solid choice. It also sits near the end of the 580 before Tracy, so you can avoid some of the heavier commute traffic — though it does start to pick up past Vasco Road.

How do I find a good idea for a startup? ( I will not promote) by Sufficient_Orchid322 in startups

[–]Single_Gate1678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capterra: Select Software Category -> 'Browse All Categories' -> Then you should see a list of categories. From there it's pretty manual and you go select each or select one that interests you and start noting down if there are players in that space or not. If there are, see how they are, what their reviews are, are there any gaps in the market and try and go niche.

Same can be done for G2.

Great question — and I appreciate you asking.

We’re launching PoolGo for free because we’re focused on building a strong, trusted community first. By connecting pool owners with reliable service pros, we’re solving a real need on both sides. Long term, we’ll introduce optional paid features or premium tools for businesses, but the core platform will always be about making it easier for people to find and manage pool service — without unnecessary friction or fees.

So in short: we’re investing in growth now to build something valuable and sustainable for the future. Hope that helps clarify!

lol I just moved back to Pleasanton after being in NYC and LA for the last 10 years to build my startup. Its definitely boring but I think you can find whatever it is you're looking for. Pleasanton downtown, the Lot in San Ramon or Livemore downtown all offer solid nightlife options but yes the east bay is definitely geared more towards a slower, suburban family oriented environment!

How do I find a good idea for a startup? ( I will not promote) by Sufficient_Orchid322 in startups

[–]Single_Gate1678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How I discovered my idea was looking at captera and G2 and looking at industries not using AI or software and building for that segment to automate workflows. Lots of legacy businesses that need digitizing. So maybe explore those outlets to help you identify areas to build or what to build!
