That makes total sense, thanks for the feedback. Is there anything besides wide adoption that you think might help bridge the trust gap?


It's a hard problem - and depends on your target market. That being said, in my experience most companies with the maturity to go hunting for a tool like this will also have established vendor security requirements. On a baseline "trust" level - having an identity associated with the project beyond a new "brand" can help bridge that gap, especially if there are folks with strong personal reputations attached.

On the product side, https://www.enterpriseready.io/ does a good job breaking down expectations for SaaS (https://www.enterpriseready.io/features/product-security/).

In the long term, you'll find many of the largest possible customers will demand an on-prem option, and/or some level of external attestation (e.g. a pentest, SOC2, etc.)

I acknowledge this is a lot to throw at someone getting a product going, and don't want to be discouraging, but security products have an even larger expectation - especially because I expect your buyer and user personas to be security-centric


This is the MVP of a startup I've been working on. The core idea is to create a real-time information/collaboration hub for incident response. One place for info, designated teams/roles/plans, and integrations with commonly used systems.

There's still lots of work to be done, but I'd really love some feedback and direction from anyone interested. Thanks for checking it out!


I highly recommend ArangoDB as an alternative to Mongo - similar noSQL setup backed by RocksDB (as of 3.2) and includes graph database abilities.
