What Roll Digital builds for you.

Custom scope to take Agent Email Inbox from MVP shell to operating business.

• ▸Production FastAPI backend with Postgres, deployed on AWS infrastructure
• ▸Multi-tenant email routing engine with shared IP pool management and monitoring
• ▸Stripe billing integration across free, pro, and enterprise tiers
• ▸Multi-tenant auth system with email and Google OAuth sign-in
• ▸Custom domain provisioning, DKIM/SPF validation, and SSL certificate management
• ▸Agent inbox API with rate limiting and usage tracking per tenant
• ▸Admin dashboard for monitoring deliverability health and customer metrics
• ▸Initial 30-day post-launch customer success and support framework

Why this could work.

Developer-led PLG motion directly targets the rapid expansion of AI agent deployments. Free tier removes friction for builders experimenting with email workflows in production agents. Conversion mechanics are straightforward: usage limits push developers toward pro tier adoption. The 95k company TAM offers genuine room for sustainable unit economics. Experienced agent tooling founders understand distribution, execution, and the specific infrastructure pain points teams actually face.

What you'd risk.

IP pool reputation collapse poses existential risk: one abusive tenant's agent sends spam, the entire shared sending pool gets blacklisted. Recovery takes months. AWS SES plus a Lambda already handles 80% of functionality for $3 monthly, making the DIY path seductive for cost-conscious developers. Developer churn accelerates if UX doesn't dramatically exceed alternatives. Commoditization is real: LangChain or OpenAI could add native email tooling overnight and zero out switching costs for existing users.

Who this fits.

This fits an operator with existing distribution in AI tooling or developer communities. Ideally someone who has sold SaaS infrastructure to builders before and understands the developer personas using tools like LangChain or Anthropic's SDK. A former agency founder or platform engineer with a technical co-founder or hiring budget would be well-positioned. Requires consistent execution on GTM velocity and product-market fit validation.
