Why I spent two years building this

This product exists because I had the problem it solves — and nothing on the market actually fixed it.

Open with the moment the problem became unbearable. A specific scene, not a summary: where you were, what went wrong, what it cost you.

Then the failed attempts. Everything you tried that the reader has probably tried too — the workarounds, the competitor products, the giving up. This paragraph earns trust because it proves you understand the problem from the inside.

The turn: what you realized that everyone else had missed, and the decision to build it yourself. Keep the engineering story short — one or two sentences about how long it took and what was hard.

What it's like now. Describe a single ordinary day with the product, in plain words. This is the quiet payoff paragraph — no superlatives.

The ask. We're making a first production run, it's fully refundable until it ships, and preorder pricing is the best it will ever be. If the problem I described is your problem, I'd love for you to try it.
