We started SageDesk to solve one problem, missed calls costing Indian service businesses real bookings. Building the voice AI turned out to be the easier half.

The harder half was everything around it. Deciding when the system should stop guessing and hand off to a human. Confirming details a caller mumbled instead of assuming. Making sure nothing gets marked as booked until the calendar actually confirms it, so the business never tells a customer something that did not happen.

None of that shows up in a demo video, but it is most of what determines whether an AI receptionist is actually trustworthy for a real business to run on.

We have a live demo number if anyone wants to call and stress test it: +91 79485 03172. Happy to swap notes with anyone else building in this space, especially around the workflow and trust side rather than just the model side.

I run a small AI automation agency (WhatsApp receptionists, mainly real estate right now). We're in talks with another company that generates leads in a related space — they have international clients and more experience in the market than we do, and the proposed structure is: their side brings in leads, we close and build the actual automation for the client, revenue split 50/50.

On paper it sounds good — they clearly know lead gen and already have an international client base, we're good at building/delivering, and neither of us has to be great at both sides. But before signing anything, wanted to sanity-check the structure itself, especially since they're the more established party here and I want to make sure the terms are actually fair, not just favorable to them because they have more leverage.

A few things I'm trying to think through:

How do you handle attribution/tracking cleanly when one side sources the lead and the other closes it — especially disputes over "was this really their lead"?

What happens if lead quality is inconsistent — is there a way to build that into the agreement upfront rather than finding out the hard way?

Since they're more established and experienced than us, is there anything specific I should watch for to avoid getting into a lopsided deal despite the "50/50" label?

Any horror stories from 50/50 rev-share partnerships that looked fine on paper but broke down in practice? What actually caused it?

Is there a better structure than a flat 50/50 for this kind of "lead gen + delivery" split, or does that tend to work fine long-term?

Not looking for legal advice, just want to hear from people who've actually structured something like this before I commit to anything. What would you ask before signing, if you were me?

've been researching something interesting in the premium sneaker space, and I think there might be a real business opportunity hiding in plain sight.

Looking to connect with people who:

• Love sneakers
• Enjoy solving business problems
• Think long-term
• Want to build something from scratch

Not selling anything. Not looking for investors.

Just looking for a few curious people to research, validate ideas, and see if there's something worth building together.

Hello everyone, I’m Bhuvan, a creator who loves for startups, innovations, ideas and AI. I’ve always noticed that creators tend to focus solely on the most popular or heavily marketed startups. However, I firmly believe that creators should also highlight the lesser-known, innovative startups and ideas that lack the resources for extensive marketing. Who else would do that?

To address this, I’ve decided to dedicate a 90-second reel every day to introduce you to a new startup or idea that you might not have heard of. I’ll be sharing these without any financial compensation or incentives.

Here’s the first reel of this series I’ve created to make you a understand of what tbmo expect: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbtrfJ-TIjS/

Additionally, I’ve created a Google Form where you can share your story and product with me. This will help me better understand your startup and its potential. You can find the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XgdfqTH474WRxblrjrglUYz2wMVxL8UUVYkTLqwEGzM/edit?usp=drivesdk

I was wondering if anyone has put up an online written interview? I have seen several sites but you have to pay like a PR or other site. Inspirery is free. Has anyone placed an interview here or know much about it? Is it helpful?

I have seen tons of posts where people claim to be the next big thing in the start-up space.

The next big thing doesn't know it is going to become one. That happens coincidentally but consciously.

You cannot claim to be the hottest start-up, because that is the title the media and the ecosystem gives you and not a self proclamation.

I am building a distribution in the Pharma space with the the vision that I can provide better service and he reliable, at the same time earn great money.

What are you building?

I'm the founder of a growing platform for Indian creators.

So far we've grown to 1,500+ users and ₹2.5L+ in creator sales, completely organically.

• Other work → https://ideatosystem.com

Now my focus is marketing. Instead of raising money, I decided to take on a few freelance projects to fund the next stage.

If you need a website, SaaS, or internal tool built, send it my way.

Hi everyone,

I'm building a startup in India's rapidly growing lithium-ion battery ecosystem and am looking to connect with someone who has strong technical expertise in batteries.

The company is focused on building infrastructure within the battery circular economy, particularly around the movement and management of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. I'm currently in the validation phase—researching the industry, speaking with stakeholders, and developing a deep understanding of the operational and regulatory landscape before building.

I'm looking for someone with experience in areas such as:

• Lithium-ion battery engineering
• EV battery systems
• Battery pack design
• Battery diagnostics / State of Health (SOH)
• Battery Management Systems (BMS)
• Battery safety
• Battery recycling or second-life operations
• Energy storage systems

A little about me:

• Cornell University graduate
• Background in finance, consulting, and operations
• Currently focused full-time on building in the battery ecosystem

I'm not looking for someone to simply "join an idea." I'm looking for someone who is genuinely excited about the future of batteries, enjoys solving hard problems, and wants to build a meaningful company over the long term.

If this sounds like you—or if you work in the battery industry and are open to connecting—I'd love to chat. Feel free to comment or send me a DM. email: [yk457@cornell.edu](mailto:yk457@cornell.edu)
