Full-Stack SaaS Application
Ten integrated business tools consolidated into a single production-grade platform. Built for solo founders and small teams who need a command center — not a collection of browser tabs.
Overview
Founders Helm is a full-stack SaaS application that replaces the patchwork of tools most solo founders and small teams cobble together during their first year of business. Instead of paying separately for a CRM, a landing page builder, an invoicing tool, a project manager, a content engine, a feedback system, an analytics dashboard, a code vault, an AI advisor, and an automation engine — this platform puts all ten under one login, one subscription, and one unified workspace.
Every feature is production-grade. There are no placeholder components, no mock data, no half-built modules waiting to be finished someday. The authentication system supports email/password and OAuth with full session management. The billing integration handles subscriptions, one-time lifetime purchases, and self-service portal access through Stripe. The database layer enforces Row Level Security across every single table. The workspace system supports multi-tenant operations with role-based access control at four levels: owner, admin, editor, and viewer.
This is not a template or a boilerplate. It's a deployed, working application that a buyer could rebrand, reconfigure, and begin selling to their own audience within days — or run as-is under the existing Founders Helm brand.
Integrated Products
Each product within Founders Helm is a fully realized module with its own database schema, API routes, permissions layer, and UI components. They share a common workspace context, so data flows naturally between them — a contact in the CRM can receive an invoice, a landing page lead automatically appears in your contact list, and the activity feed captures everything happening across the platform.
Full contact management with tags, source tracking, status lifecycle, and a deal pipeline with customizable stages. Includes duplicate email detection, contact notes, and export functionality. Every contact is workspace-scoped with role-based edit permissions.

A no-code page builder with section-based layouts, theme customization, custom CSS injection, and publishable slugs. Pages are served at public URLs with built-in analytics tracking and a lead capture system that prevents duplicate submissions within a one-hour window.

Write, generate, and manage content posts and articles with a rich text editor powered by Tiptap. Integrated AI generation through OpenRouter supports multiple modes — generate from scratch, improve existing drafts, or brainstorm ideas — with platform-specific formatting for social and long-form content.

A personal library for storing reusable code snippets, prompt templates, and reference material organized into collections. Supports syntax highlighting, search, and quick-copy workflows. Designed for founders who constantly context-switch between tools and need a reliable place to keep the things that work.

An AI-powered conversational advisor built on DeepSeek via OpenRouter. Maintains full conversation history with persistent storage, extracts follow-up questions and action items from each response, and tracks token usage per workspace. Conversations are scoped to the workspace so team members share context.

Privacy-first analytics that track page views, unique visitors, referral sources, and user behavior without relying on third-party scripts. The collection endpoint is excluded from auth middleware for performance, and the dashboard renders charts via Recharts with filterable date ranges and comparison views.

A workflow automation system supporting scheduled triggers via a daily cron job and external webhook triggers with IP allowlisting and HMAC signature verification using constant-time comparison. Automations create run records with full trigger data, and the webhook endpoint strips sensitive headers before logging.

An embeddable feedback widget system that accepts anonymous submissions from external sites, paired with a SaaS metrics command center that tracks customers, subscriptions, MRR, and churn. The command center syncs from Stripe webhook events so metrics stay current without manual reconciliation.

Architecture
Founders Helm is a Next.js 16 application using the App Router pattern with React 19 and TypeScript 5.7. The database layer runs on Supabase (PostgreSQL) with generated TypeScript types that keep the frontend and database schema in lockstep. Billing is handled entirely through Stripe with webhook-driven state synchronization — the application never polls for payment status.

Security
Founders Helm has undergone a complete security audit covering every API route, every database policy, every authentication flow, and every public-facing endpoint. The result: zero critical vulnerabilities, zero exposed secrets, and zero compilation errors. This is not a prototype that needs hardening — it's a production application that has already been hardened.
✓
Row Level Security on Every Table
All 40+ database tables enforce RLS policies. Users can only access data within their workspace, and write operations are gated by role. Policies use the optimized (select auth.uid()) pattern to avoid PostgreSQL initplan warnings.
✓
Consistent API Authentication
Every API route follows the same pattern: verify the user session, extract the workspace ID, confirm membership, check role permissions. No route skips a step. Public endpoints (lead capture, feedback, analytics) are intentionally scoped and validated.
✓
Stripe Webhook Signature Verification
All Stripe events are verified using constructEvent() with the webhook signing secret. The handler processes subscription lifecycle events and explicitly protects lifetime subscribers from being downgraded by stale events.
✓
HMAC Webhook Authentication
External webhook endpoints verify payloads using HMAC-SHA256 signatures with timingSafeEqual for constant-time comparison, preventing timing attacks. IP allowlisting adds a second layer of validation. Sensitive headers are stripped before logging.
✓
Open Redirect Protection
Both the login form and OAuth callback validate redirect URLs, rejecting any path that doesn't start with a single forward slash. Protocol-relative URLs (beginning with //) are explicitly blocked.
✓
Hashed API Keys
API keys are generated as 32-byte random hex strings, stored as SHA-256 hashes, and the full key is returned to the user exactly once on creation. Only the preview is retained in the database. Only owners and admins can create or revoke keys.
✓
Security Headers
X-Frame-Options DENY, X-Content-Type-Options nosniff, Strict-Transport-Security with 1-year max-age and includeSubDomains, strict-origin-when-cross-origin referrer policy, and a permissions policy that blocks camera, microphone, and geolocation access.
✓
Audit Trail & Data Export
Security-relevant actions are logged to the audit_logs table. Data export is restricted to owners and admins and supports JSON/CSV formats across all modules. Export events are themselves audited with record counts.
What's Included
An acquisition includes the complete source code, all database migration files, the Vercel deployment configuration, and full documentation. The codebase is organized with clear separation between the ten product modules, a shared component library built on Radix UI primitives, and a well-documented type system generated directly from the database schema.
The application's multi-tenant workspace architecture means a buyer could operate it as a single-product SaaS, white-label it for agency clients, or break individual modules out into standalone products. The CRM alone has a complete contact management system with deal pipelines. The landing page builder alone is a viable product. The invoicing system alone competes with entry-level billing tools.
Every migration file is included and versioned. A buyer with a Supabase account and a Vercel deployment can have the application running in production in under an hour. The Stripe integration requires only three price IDs and a webhook secret. The AI features require a single OpenRouter API key. There are no hidden dependencies, no proprietary services, and no vendor lock-in beyond the standard infrastructure providers.
Founders Helm is available for outright acquisition or as a custom build reference. Interested parties are welcome to reach out for a live demo, codebase walkthrough, or to discuss terms.
