A venture capitalist recently asked me to grab coffee.
I asked a simple question: how did you find Receipt AI?
I expected an answer like Google, LinkedIn, a customer, a friend.
Instead, they told me how plugged into Chicago’s startup scene they were.
I’ve noticed some people can turn almost any question into an opportunity to show off.
Ask how they found you, you hear how connected they are.
Ask what they’re working on, you hear who they’re working with.
Ask who they are, they’re offended you had to ask.
If you constantly have to remind people how important you are, who are you really trying to convince, others or yourself?
Receipt AI is bootstrapped. We don’t have investors. Most of our customers will never know who we know in Chicago.
They just want their receipts organized, without giving up their time.
Maybe that means dinner with friends.
Maybe it just means closing the laptop a little earlier.
If we can help people get a little of their time back, that matters to us.
Receipt AI is built by real people for real customers.
