Hey PH 👋
I built Backrail because I kept seeing the same gap: indie hackers with real, profitable SaaS ($1-15K MRR) who need $15-30K to go full-time — too small for VCs, and they don't want to give up equity anyway. Meanwhile, thousands of people watching build-in-public threads think "I'd put $200 into that founder."
Backrail connects them: founders show Stripe-verified revenue (read-only key, they control it), open a revenue-share round (e.g., 7% of revenue until backers earn 2.5x), and anyone can pledge from $100.
Being fully transparent: we're early. Pledges today are commitments, not charges — real money movement comes via licensed partners as we grow. Right now I want to prove both sides of this market exist.
I'd love brutal feedback, especially from founders: would you ever take revenue-share money from your own audience? Why or why not?
Ask me anything — I'll be here all day.
