I think there's a trap that hits founders: "What do you have to do before you build your unique idea?" Well you need to setup boilerplate, buy a CRM, buy an email marketing tool, etc. and like 30% of companies think "oh this kind of sucks" and make one of those steps their company. Nothing against the project but certainly one of those. In particular I think it overestimates then pain they solve and underestimates both modern frameworks eg. T3 stack, and in particular how difficult getting something through enterprise procurement. I can't imagine it being easier to get this bought than to do that stuff yourself, particularly when it makes you look bad as a dev to need help with the basics.
