OriginRound

If you are an indie hacker, a SaaS founder, or a developer, you already know the hardest part of building a product isn't writing the code-it's keeping the money you actually earn. Right now, the system is stacked against builders. You launch, and app stores take 30%. You try to get early users, and launch platforms take up to 70% while trapping you in toxic "Lifetime Deals" (LTDs) that slowly kill your business with infinite support tickets and zero MRR. That's exactly why I built OriginRound. This community is for founders who believe you should keep 100% of your revenue. We are building the ultimate zero-fee checkout infrastructure and discovery launchpad. What makes OriginRound different: You keep 100%: You connect your own Stripe restricted keys and process payments directly. We take zero platform fees. Cross-Platform Freedom: Sell your licenses directly on the web, and let users simply log in to your Web, Desktop, iOS, or Android apps to unlock their premium features. Liquid SaaS & The Reseller Network: You have complete control over your assets. Set your deals as strictly "Soulbound" or make them "Transferable." If transferable, buyers can resell unused passes, or even transfer active subscriptions to a new owner who then takes over the recurring payments and you get money. We also built a "Sponsor" feature, allowing users to pass along subsidized access and you get money. This unlocks a massive secondary network of influencers and resellers who are financially incentivized to promote your deals, bringing you net-new users while you keep the ongoing revenue. Programmable Deals: Say goodbye to the LTD graveyard. Set up automated intro deals (e.g., 50% off the first 3 months) and stack discounts to build healthy, sustainable MRR. Developer First: Inject custom JSON metadata directly into your deals to automate everything from SaaS tier unlocks to Discord roles. example: Gaming / Virtual Items: { "grant_item": "mythic_sword", "gems_awarded": 500 } Community / Access: { "discord_role_id": "987654321", "welcome_msg": true } SaaS / Software Tiers: { "license_tier": "pro", "max_workspaces": 3 } Advanced Infrastructure / API Tiers: { "api_tier": "enterprise_v2", "rate_limits": { "req_per_min": 1000, "burst_allowed": true }, "feature_flags": ["sso", "audit_logs"] } What's next for the platform: Right now, we are focused heavily on the launchpad, but we have a lot more tools dropping in the next few months. We are currently onboarding our first few founders and preparing to give away some free deals to break the cold start, so you'll see the feed start populating very soon!
