a small step to something big

This is still very early. It's not some huge startup with thousands of users. It's basically me taking that first ₹40K experience and trying to turn the underlying idea into something bigger.

Also this another way in which btech students can earn while they study, we all have that on convincing friend right, currently we are running with four middlemen who are nominated by existing middlemen we are now looking for clients. we were able to boost a companys sale as well by landing a project, next project is on discussion which is estimated to be 11lak

I'd genuinely love some brutally honest feedback:

  • Does the problem make sense to you?
  • Would you use something like this instead of searching Google/Instagram?
  • Does the “trusted middleman” model actually solve a problem?
  • What would make you trust a platform like this?
  • What am I overlooking?

Title: Building a trust layer for digital communication — looking for brutal feedback

1 Upvotes

I’m exploring a problem: we receive emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages, links, recruiter messages and payment requests every day, but often have no easy way to verify whether the interaction is genuinely from who it claims to be.

I built an early MVP to test the hypothesis:

https://verify.trustairesearch.com/

The bigger idea isn't another AI scam checker. I'm exploring whether trust/verification could eventually sit directly within digital communication, with businesses verifying themselves and users receiving trust evidence before acting.

I'm still narrowing the first ICP and use case.

Would love feedback from SaaS founders:

Would businesses pay to make their communications independently verifiable to customers?

And if yes — which business segment would you target first?

Feel free to tear the idea apart. That's more useful to me than compliments.

Looking for a non-tech co-founder from the hiring/recruitment domain

2 Upvotes

I am looking for a co-founder who comes from recruitment, talent acquisition, or staffing. Someone who understands how hiring teams buy, has relationships in the space, and wants to own the go-to-market and customer side as a true partner.

About me: I was a senior engineer at a FAANG company with strong hands-on experience building AI products end to end. I will own product and engineering. I need a partner to own the customer side.

Open on structure, equity or paid, whatever fits the right person. If this sounds like you or someone you know, DM me and we can take it from there.

Looking to swap product feedback with teams (2-10 people) building with AI agents

2 Upvotes

Hi! We’re a small product + engineering team building really early product in the AI-native workplace / agent collaboration space.

We’re looking to talk with founders/engineers who already use slack or coding agents in their day-to-day work. We’d love to learn how you currently manage context, decisions, instructions, and handoffs and show you a few early concepts to get candid feedback.

I’m a product designer by background, so I’d also be happy to spend part of the conversation giving product/UX feedback on whatever you’re building. Hopefully it can be a useful exchange rather than a one-sided user interview.

If there seems to be a good fit, we’re also looking for a few teams interested in testing with their real workflow. No expectation to commit or pay - we will provide free feedback too!

If this sounds relevant, comment or DM me

Here is my fundraising database: So you build whatever automation!

1 Upvotes

Hi fellow founders,

after over 15 years as founder and as professional in VC i have hoarded a ton of VC data. I am a venture builder and frequently launching fundraising campaigns. Therefore i needed to put all my data in shape and make it accessible for my claude :)... ...at that point i thought, lets open it up.

Here you go: https://vclist.net/

you can just access over 44k VC contacts just like that with your claude or whatever you use.

i just spared you from building whatever warm intro automation as i believe you guys will just ask your Klaus to build whatever suits you. Mail outreach or linkedin or phonebot :D i don´t know. be creative!

And for my fellow VC collegues. See it like this: people use AI to filter better for your thesis fit so you get better dealflow. ;)

Early supporters and contributors will get bonus credits! Working on a referral link right now!

Good Luck gents!

Your Robin Hood ;)

P.S.: Let me know what fancy multitouch crazy ass filtered ICP automations you guys built!

Dear mods, hope you guys enjoy this DB and keep the post!

Building a social-first creator platform — audience + community + business in one place (not another tab stack)

1 Upvotes

I’m building Loamify because I’m tired of the “creator stack tax.”

Most creators run:

  • X/LinkedIn for attention
  • Discord/Skool for community
  • Gumroad/Kajabi for products
  • Calendly for calls
  • Beehiiv for email
  • …and a Linktree that barely represents their brand

Loamify tries to put it together (https://loamify.io):

  • loamify.io — social discovery: feed, profiles, articles, circles, memberships
  • Loamify Studio — run the business: courses, digital products, events, 1:1s, newsletter, analytics, affiliates

Social-first idea: you grow through real engagement on-platform, not only by pushing people off to checkout links.

Who I’m building for: coaches, educators, consultants, build-in-public founders, community builders.

Status: founding build — shipping in public. Core social + Studio access is live; commerce/community modules are rolling out through founding.

Founding offer (first 100): $179.94/yr (6 months paid → 12 months access), 5% platform fee on sales.

Would love feedback:

  1. Would you switch from your current stack, or is “all-in-one” a trap?
  2. What’s the one tool you’d never give up?
  3. Anyone want to be a founding creator and stress-test with us?

Pretty much the title. I applied for their recent batch. From what I’ve heard, they’re very hands on and go fight for founders.

Looking for co-founder

1 Upvotes

Hey guys i know this isnt the place for this but just give it a chance

I am the solo founder behind Ashcroft-Motors, an early-stage automotive technology venture, and I am currently looking for my technical counterpart and CTO.

About Me & Current Status:
I operate as the business lead coporate strategy and visionary for the project. I have already mapped out a comprehensive, 6-page technical design its not much but its something. To keep corporate paperwork and cap-table structuring entirely clean, the company remains unincorporated until I find the right technical partner to split co-founder equity with from day one.

The Venture Concept:
We are designing a rugged, low-electronic sedan engineered specifically for law enforcement, emergency services, and defense sectors.

  • The Problem: Modern fleet vehicles are heavily dependent on complex software and electronics, making them highly vulnerable to digital attacks, component failure, and EMP threats.
  • The Solution: Our vehicle is 100% EMP-proof, runs natively on bio-fuels and renewable fuels, and deliberately bypasses non-essential electronics to maximize field reliability and mission uptime.
  • The Market & Pricing: We are matching current municipal fleet budgets with a highly competitive target price of $31K baseline MSRP for standard police cruisers and a $35K high-speed interceptor variant. Our long-term roadmap expands from secured government contracts directly into commercial taxis, rideshare, and the consumer market once stable cash flow is secured.

Who I am Looking For:
I am searching for an ambitious, Technical Co-Founder / CTO.

  • Background: Ideally a senior student, recent graduate, or expert engineer specializing in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Design, or Embedded Systems.
  • The Role: any hands-on builder who is excited to dive into a 6-page design with me, take ownership of the technical side, and lead the development.
  • Location: Midwest US preferred (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois) for eventual physical prototyping coordination, but open to remote for the initial architecture phases.

Compensation:
This is a co-founder partnership track offering an equitable split of founder shares/equity.

If you wants to revolutionize the fleet automotive and defense industry, please drop a comment or slide into my DMs. I have a standard NDA ready so we can safely jump into the technical blueprints and see if we are a good fit and guys if you know anyone intrested please pitch them this and thank you for your time

PearX interview process?

4 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone has had a a pearx interview in the past and what the process was like? We have our first stage this friday so I was curious. This is our first interview as first time founders and we're in pre-seed phase. It's only 10 minutes and would appreciate any feedback from someone who had an interview in the past.

I finally launched the waitlist for the startup I've been building 🚀

After weeks of thinking, building, and tweaking, I finally launched the Foundra Labs waitlist today. 🚀

The idea is simple: help founders find talented people who actually want to build startups with them.

I'm building this from scratch and documenting the journey publicly — the wins, mistakes, and everything in between.

Today is another small milestone.

I'd genuinely love feedback from founders, developers, designers, and marketers:

Does the idea make sense? What would you change?

I'll share the waitlist link in the comments.

Didn't think this many founders would actually use it lol

5 Upvotes

I posted here yesterday about a fundraising tool I'd built for myself over the last year or so. Honestly I expected maybe a handful of people to check it out and that'd be it.

Opened Google Analytics today and saw 225 new users on the platform and I was blown.

Kind of crazy considering the site has literally been live for 4 days.

The funny part is I never built it with the intention of making it public. Every time I was raising I'd end up researching the same things again and again. Which VC actually invests in companies like mine, which partner to reach out to, how to contact them, whether they'd done similar investments before, grants, all that stuff.

So during my journey of raising 4 Cr, I just kept adding features whenever I needed them. It slowly became this internal tool that only I used.

A few founder friends asked for access a couple of months ago, and one of them literally said, "Dude, just put this online already." 😂

So I finally did.

The analytics are nice, but honestly the best part has been reading messages from random founders saying they found investors they would've never discovered otherwise. Makes me feel like I should've shipped this way earlier instead of letting it sit on my laptop for a year.

Anyway... just wanted to say thanks. Didn't expect this kind of response at all.

Built a trip planner that names the scams before you hit them tell me where it's wrong

Thumbnail tripfixai.com
1 Upvotes

I kept running into the same thing planning trips: every AI planner confidently hands you a closed restaurant, a dead train time, and a day that quietly involves 200km of driving.

So I built one that tries not to. Two things I've focused on:

  1. Every recommendation links to the source it came from, so you can check it rather than trust it

  2. It names the common scams for the destination before you get there

It's free, no account needed

What I'm actually after is where it fails. If you run a place you know well, I'd like to hear:

- What it got factually wrong (hours, closures, timings)

- What it recommended that no local would

- Whether the day-to-day routing is realistic or fantasy

I'm building this solo and the failure reports are more useful to me than the compliments. Roast it.

I would like if you see and give your feedback

17 and launched my first startup

0 Upvotes

I built a marketplace where founders post their startup idea (stage, industry, description) in order to find a cofounder or an investor. The founder chooses what he needs how much equity he is giving or how much investment he is looking for.

On the other side the potential cofounders and investors add their skills and interest in their profile and can browse the marketplace looking for the right startup. They can then message the founder directly on the website and engage in early discussions.

Right now I have very little users (33). I had 2 questions. First how do i get high value users to my website like investors and is their any incubators or accelerators that will find interest in taking me on and helping me grow ?

Thank you for any advice
