Trevor here. Woohoo! Spring has arrived. So has this week’s cohort of awesome startups. Enjoy!

🇺🇸 The Spaghetti Detective: 3D printing monitoring and failure detection software. $28k/mo. (Founded 2018, Total Funding Amount: bootstrapped)

3D printers take a long time (hours to days, and sometimes even weeks) to print a part, and they fail quite often (5% failure rate or higher). The possibility of failure creates stress for millions of makers who own and operate their 3D printers.

”I started TSD as a side project and grew it to tens of thousands of monthly active users. As of 2021, users have printed over 5 million hours on the TSD platform” — Founder, Kenneth Jiang

🇧🇪 LowFruits: Finds keywords for you to score higher on SEO. By targeting keywords where weak websites (Domain Authority below 20) are already at the top, you have a higher chance of ranking fast and give a positive signal to Google or other search engines. Currently in beta. (Founded 2020, prev funding: bootstrapped)

“Find untapped keywords today to rank faster and stronger tomorrow.” — Founder, Paul Pilavachi
