1. PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY

The Managed Services Distribution Gap Brilliant developers create amazing code projects, but most never become sustainable businesses due to barriers:

• Monetization Complexity: Building billing, multi-tenancy, and automation from scratch takes 6-12 months
• Infrastructure Expertise: Operating managed services requires extensive DevOps knowledge most developers lack
• Vendor Lock-in Dilemma: Choose between simple (but locked-in) platforms or complex (but flexible) infrastructure
• Cost Unpredictability: Vendor markups and hidden fees make pricing optimization impossible

Market Opportunity:

• $100B+ cloud services market fragmenting from centralized to distributed
• Growing demand for dedicated deployments with data protection
• Enterprise buyers increasingly value vendor freedom and cost control

​

2. VALUE PROPOSITION

Making data center-scale deployment as easy as the App Store CNAP enables developers to turn any code project into a profitable managed service in hours, not months. For Developers:

• 10x faster time-to-market - From code to revenue in hours
• Zero infrastructure expertise - Focus on features, not DevOps
• Built-in monetization - Multiple payment providers, automated billing
• No vendor lock-in - Choose your infrastructure, optimize costs

For Customers:

• Dedicated deployments - Enterprise-grade isolation and performance
• Cost optimization - No vendor markup, transparent pricing
• Vendor freedom - Switch providers or bring in-house anytime
• Data protection - Complete control over data and deployment

Category Creation: We’re not just building a platform—we’re establishing sovereign, automated managed services distribution as the new standard for cloud software.
