What Each One Does Best
Buildside
Who is it for
SaaS founders and early-stage builders who want to build in public and collaborate with peers
Problem it solves
Founders struggle to gather feedback, recruit testers, and run public progress updates in one place. General social networks lack founder-focused tools to showcase living products, manage waitlists, and foster authentic collaboration over time.
How it solves it
Buildside is a SaaS-focused social network that combines founder profiles, living product pages, progress updates, beta opportunities, and collaboration features in one place. It helps founders build in public, attract testers, and connect with potential collaborators and advisors.
What makes it unique
Unlike generic networks, Buildside is tailored for SaaS founders with built-in feedback loops, testing groups, and waitlists. It preserves the founder's journey with authentic, time-stamped product progress and living product pages that evolve with the company.

- Create founder profile
- Publish living product page
- Post progress updates
- Launch beta opportunities

- Gather feedback publicly
FollowGone
Who is it for
Creators, influencers, and everyday Instagram users who want to understand their follower dynamics
Problem it solves
Many users struggle to know who has unfollowed them or who is not returning follow for their account. They rely on manual checks or external tools that may require credentials and pose privacy risks. This leads to uncertainty and potential security concerns about data access.
How it solves it
FollowGone analyzes your official Instagram data export to reveal who unfollowed you and who does not follow you back. It provides a privacy first approach that does not require passwords or direct Instagram login, keeping your data secure while offering clear insights.
What makes it unique
What sets FollowGone apart is its privacy first design that uses only the official data export and never asks for your password. It emphasizes zero risk to your account and full transparency and control over data analysis. This contrasts with typical follower tools that require login or access to your credentials.
Use cases
- Identify unfollowers over time
- Track followers who do not follow back
- Audit follower quality before collaborations
- Monitor changes after posting campaigns
- Review follower retention after updates
- Export and analyze follower data securely
