We built the first and only fully automated checkout gas station in the country.
It wasn’t Amazon Go, it wasn’t Choice Markets, it was us.
We raised $100MM, kept a low profile, and were set to surprise the Denver market.

Your idea is great.
But it doesn't make any money.
You should hire a dev partner for your startup with the experience and integrity to both tell you this and help you pivot.
