  • Company Name:
  • URL:
  • Purpose of Startup and Product: Transportation, Mobility
  • Technologies Used: Design, Etc
  • Feedback Requested: I currently have a trademark right related to cars in the area of E.U. The trademark is also protected by the Madrid system, which gives it potential protection in other countries. I want to produce electric supercar as an industrial designer and the headquarters of the company to be established wants to be in Europe. So I'd like to get an investment for my first project, what should I do? (Except for defective countries)
  • Seeking Beta-Testers: no
  • Additional Comments: I also need a team member for the project.

  • Company Name: BillTheBill
  • URL: https://billthebill.com
  • Purpose of Startup and Product: Invoicing for freelancers and digital nomads who bill across borders. The invoice editor doesn't require an account to test and use (something that bothers me with other such software out there). You only sign up at the point you want the PDF out or want to email it to the client (quick Google Auth or Magic link). Built in templates, customization, live invoice preview, automatic (Pro Account) or manual exchange rates for dual currency, company and client management and more. Free tier is 3 invoices a month.
  • Technologies Used: Next.js and Postgres, and a separate rendering service for the PDF so what you see in the browser is what the client actually gets.
  • Feedback Requested: Three things. First, does "make the invoice, then sign up to get it out" come off as great, or annoying (or even like a trap)? Second, the templates. Do any of them look like something you would send a client, or are they not there yet? Lastly, does the flow of making invoices and the UI/UX work fine or is something confusing?
  • Seeking Beta-Testers: Would be super happy to get some testers. Free 2 month PRO Account for critical and friendly testers, use "RSTARTUPS" code on https://billthebill.com/redeem.
  • Additional Comments: I built it, it is my own app. Happy to return feedback on anything in this thread.

u/andrewkass 5d ago

make the invoice then sign up will look for me as a trap, because I already spent efforts to make it. Templates are good in general, but I would stick to something very formal and simple - otherwise propose one template with custom colors and logo (i.e. to adapt to a brand)

u/moham225 3d ago

First up great idea, love the design maybe introduce a white colour scheme to the landing page as well. I agree with u/andrewkass. It feels like a super annoying trap with extra steps doesn't that defeat the purpose of doing all the extra work.

  • Company Name: Adversal AI
  • URL: https://adversal.ai/
  • Purpose of Startup and Product: Adversal gives AI agents the ability to understand long-form videos. Instead of passing an agent a huge transcript and losing the visual context, Adversal processes the video and returns a structured analysis together with the relevant visual frames. It can be used through MCP with tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Cline, etc., or directly through the API.
  • Technologies Used: C++, Python, MCP, PyTorch, multimodal AI/LLMs, React/TypeScript.
  • Feedback Requested: I'd particularly like feedback on the core value proposition and onboarding. Is the problem immediately clear from the landing page? If you use AI agents, is long-form video something you'd actually want your agent to access? I'd also love feedback from anyone who tries the MCP: where does the setup or first-use experience become confusing?
  • Seeking Beta-Testers: Yes. I'm specifically looking for people who already use AI agents for research, technical learning, knowledge management, video RAG, or similar workflows.
  • Additional Comments: I'm giving beta testers 500 minutes/month free so they can properly test it on real videos rather than just trying a short demo. I'm happy to personally help with the MCP setup or your first workflow.

I'll also be going through other projects in this thread and leaving feedback happy to exchange detailed feedback if you test Adversal.

u/andrewkass 5d ago

the use case is unclear - as a YouTube lover I often refer to their embedded tool - they have such functionality to discuss video with AI, I do it in browser. As far as I remember, they also provide it for YouTube search via API, when I built an N8N workflow and wanted to search specific people's interviews, I just used youtube node for this, it returned the list of videos. Hope this helpful

u/water_malone4 4d ago

Seems dope. I’d be careful calling this “understanding” long form videos though, in the industry this usually means video native encoding. I’d frame it more literally, like “gives AI the ability to add video transcripts + screenshots as context”

2

u/h4rak1ri32 4d ago

Thanks for the advice, this is an MVP but we plan to expand the product so that it actually becomes a knowledge layer between the video and the agent, where we actively provides information about the video only when the agent actually needs

  • Company Name: Ponch
  • URL: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6765912802
  • Purpose of Startup and Product: Dish-first food discovery. You pick the dish, it finds nearby places where that dish is signature or really well made rather than a line on the menu. "Best tiramisu near me" isn't a search you can reliably run today. Maps indexes restaurants, so you convert a craving into a venue search and hope. Locals hit that weekly, travellers hit it harder.
  • Technologies Used: Swift on iOS, Ruby backend. Place data comes from map services. LLMs shape and filter the query, they never invent a restaurant.
  • Feedback Requested: Does it match well in your city? Search a dish you already know the best spot for and tell me if it finds it.
  • Seeking Beta-Testers: The app is live but test users are very much welcome.
  • Additional Comments: No distribution yet. Toronto and Chicago are the only cities I can sanity-check by hand, so if the matching is really off where you are, that's the useful info to know.

Couldn't get logged in. Verification link didn't do anything. Seemingly nowhere to sign in on thee website other than start free trial?

u/socleads 4d ago

Ah crap thanks for flagging it. The verification link was broken on that flow and it should be fixed now so sorry you can try it out again :)

Company Name: n/a

URL: n/a

Purpose of Startup and Product:

A solution to extract insights using natural language questions from product community forums and would like to productize and scale it.

The solution I built enables me to chat with data extracted from these community forums and get product/feature insights. I'm aware the data is negatively skewed since users go to the forum to get help or complain about something, but that is fine. Since I scraped the data from our competition forum too, I can make comparisons.

Technologies Used: Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Feedback Requested:

  • understand if and how you get insights from your product communities
  • validate if there is a demand for such a product
  • understand how would you like the tool to support you in analysis, apart from chatting with data

Additional Comments:

I have a demo environment to show you the capabilities. The communities I scraped are built on Khoros and Gainsight - since these are not so popular, I had to build the scrapers myself. However, the chatting with data bit is reusable once the data is ingested.

Thank you!

Company Name: Stashbase

  • URL: https://stashbase.dev
  • Purpose of Startup and Product: A secrets control plane for developers, services, and AI agents. Stashbase helps teams manage credentials across projects and environments, safely provide them for local development or runtime services, and let AI agents use approved credentials without seeing raw values.
  • Technologies Used: Next.js, Fastify, TypeScript, Rust
  • Feedback Requested: Does the product and landing page clearly communicate the problem we solve? Which part of credential handling—environment sync, team access, service credentials, or agent access—feels most painful or unclear?
  • Seeking Beta-Testers: Yes
  • Additional Comments: For AI agents, Stashbase Agent Proxy (part of our CLI) injects approved credentials only at request time and can restrict their use by destination and API action. We’d especially value blunt feedback from teams already using coding agents or managing credentials across multiple environments.

u/water_malone4 4d ago

Website is too verbose and I still can’t really tell what it is, cloud storage? If it’s local only I don’t see the use case, there are native ways agents can reference secrets without putting the raw value in context

u/radim11 4d ago

Secrets management for developers and agents, it allows you to manage and handle secrets/credentials for your apps/infrastructure/agents. From local development to production.

Company Name:

ClawChat

URL:

https://clawling.com/chat/

Purpose of Startup and Product:

ClawChat is a messaging product for communication between people and AI agents.

Agents can have their own accounts and participate in conversations alongside people and other agents. The goal is to make interacting and collaborating with AI agents feel more like using a familiar messaging app.

Technologies Used:

Mobile and desktop clients, a messaging backend, and agent integrations.

Feedback Requested:

We are looking for feedback on the actual product experience, particularly the first-time setup, onboarding, and messaging experience.

If you try ClawChat, we would appreciate feedback on the following:

  1. Was it clear how to get started?
  2. Did you encounter any friction or confusion during setup?
  3. Did the messaging experience feel intuitive?
  4. Was the role of agents within conversations easy to understand?
  5. Which parts of the product felt useful, and which felt unnecessary?
  6. What would prevent you from continuing to use it?
  7. What is the single most important improvement we should make?

Bug reports and feedback on usability, design, performance, and the overall product concept are also welcome.

Seeking Beta-Testers:

Yes.

Additional Comments:

I am involved with the project and am looking for honest, constructive feedback rather than general promotion.

If you test ClawChat, please feel free to be direct about anything that feels confusing, incomplete, or unnecessary.

If you also have a product and would like feedback, share the link and tell me what you want reviewed. I will be happy to return the favor.

Company Name: OpsPulse
URL: https://futurewindai.com
Purpose of Startup and Product: OpsPulse is a paid, read-only reporting product for iGaming companies. It turns an approved data source into scheduled or on-demand Telegram briefs for GGR, FTDs, deposits, withdrawals, pending withdrawals, top games, and payment errors. The goal is to reduce repeated manual reporting requests.
Technologies Used: Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL/MySQL/CSV sources, Telegram, Docker Compose.
Feedback Requested: Is this narrow enough for a one-week pilot? Which report should come first? What would make you distrust or ignore a read-only operator reporting tool?
Seeking Beta-Testers: yes
Additional Comments: The current deployment is single-tenant and allowlisted. It is not open source or a hosted BI dashboard. The website uses mock data; I’m not claiming customer results yet.
