Why should I pay for criticism?

Because free advice is worth what you pay for it. We use real market data to give you actionable insights, not generic motivational nonsense.

What if my idea is actually good?

We'll tell you that too! About 15% of ideas score above 70%. If yours is one of them, we'll explain exactly why it works.

Is this really worth $1?

It's worth way more than the $100K you'd waste on a bad idea. Think of it as the cheapest market research you'll ever buy.

Terms of Service ⚖️

The legal stuff. More binding than your commitment to your last startup.

What You're Buying

• Brutal honesty about your startup idea
• Real market data to back up our roasting
• Competitor analysis to show you who's already winning
• Pivot suggestions if your idea needs life support
• One digital report - No refunds for hurt feelings

What You're NOT Buying

• Business advice - We roast, we don't consult
• Validation - This isn't your mom's opinion
• Implementation help - Figure that out yourself
• Guaranteed success - That's not how reality works
• A therapist - For emotional damage, see a professional

Your Obligations

By using this service, you agree to:

• Pay the $1 - Yes, even for bad ideas
• Provide real information - Joke ideas get joke responses
• Not blame us for your existing poor life choices
• Handle the truth - We warned you it would be brutal
• Not sue us for doing exactly what we promised

Refund Policy

💸

No Refunds

You paid $1 for our honest opinion. You got it. Transaction complete. This isn't Amazon - you can't return digital brutality because it made you cry.

Exception: If our system literally doesn't work and you get nothing, we'll refund you. But "I didn't like what you said" isn't a valid reason.

Intellectual Property

Here's how this works:

• Your idea stays yours - Even if it's terrible
• Our roast is ours - Don't copy our witty insults
• We won't steal your idea - We have our own bad ideas to pursue
• You can share your roast - Misery loves company

Disclaimer

This is entertainment, not professional advice. We use algorithms and market data to generate our roasts, but we're not:

• Financial advisors
• Business consultants
• Licensed therapists
• Fortune tellers
• Your mother (thankfully)

Make your own decisions. If you launch a business based solely on our $1 roast, that's on you, not us.

Limitation of Liability

Our liability is limited to the $1 you paid. If our roast somehow causes your startup to fail, costs you millions, or ruins your reputation, our maximum liability is still just $1.

Translation: Don't bet the farm on our opinion.

Prohibited Uses

Don't use our service for:

• Illegal activities (obviously)
• Harassment or abuse
• Testing our patience with obviously fake ideas
• Trying to hack or break our system
• Getting validation for pyramid schemes

Changes to Terms

We can update these terms anytime. If we make major changes, we'll update this page. Continued use means you accept the new terms. This is standard stuff - like how every other app you ignore the terms for works.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by US law. If you want to sue us over a $1 roast, good luck explaining that to a judge.
