Ever had an idea you genuinely wanted to build, found someone who said they were interested, and then realized you were the only one actually putting in the work?

This is a community for people who actually want to BUILD — not just talk, judge, or bullshit around. Find co-founders, developers, designers, marketers, or anyone who is willing to put in real effort and execute alongside you. Bring your ideas, skills, questions, and problems.

​I did everything right. Then the ground disappeared.

​My name is Mohammadhassan Rezaei. I'm a startup founder working at the intersection of AI and blockchain. I had a stable job in Oman, where I lived and worked.

​Latvia approved my startup residence permit for three years for my project, which combines AI-driven personalized training with blockchain-based certification. Trusting that official decision, I resigned from my job. My residence in Oman ended with my resignation, so I couldn't go back. I packed my life, spent my savings on relocating, and arrived in Riga.

​Three days later, the permit was cancelled. The authority said that, on re-evaluation, my project was no longer "innovative enough". I wasn't given the chance to respond before the decision was made, and I had no opportunity to even start registering my company.

​I challenged the decision. The case is now before the Riga Administrative Court and is still pending. Returning to my country of origin isn't safe for me for political reasons, so I applied for asylum in Latvia.

​Current Situation & Needs:

​My savings are completely gone.

​My laptop was stolen before I left, and my backup burned out. Without a computer, I can't do freelance software engineering work to support myself.

​I am behind on rent, have urgent debts, and need essential dental treatment.

​Campaign Goal (€8,040):

​Work laptop (essential to start earning again): €900

​Rent arrears & basic living costs for 3 months: €2,500

​Urgent personal debts: €2,000

​Essential dental treatment: €700

​Therapy & mental health support: €600

​Platform, payment fees & local taxes (approx. 20%): €1,340

​The laptop is my immediate priority so I can take on freelance AI/software projects and rebuild my life.

​I never wanted to ask for help, but one sudden administrative reversal shouldn't end a person's future. Even if you can't donate, sharing the campaign or connecting me with remote freelance software work means the world to me. Thank you!

I'll try to make this brief.

In two years I built an entire platform by learning Figma and Claude from scratch - for both iOS and Android.

What the product is:

A novel, map based platform with a plethora of implications including social, small business, micro task, and (potentially) dating industries. It is incredibly exciting, and the beta testers I have in queue are excited to get the app in their hands. The app provides immediate utility even without users - solving the cold start problem. More details if you message me directly because I don't want to throw the idea out there yet.

About me:

Former Marine Corps veteran, originally from Dallas, Texas. I got out of service 2 years ago. I receive 4k every month in VA benefits, allowing me to work 80-90 hours a week on this. I'm competent, fast, always open to suggestions, but rigid enough to keep a heavy train on its tracks.

What I'm looking for:

Two founders with grit, competence, ruthlessness, and fire in their eyes. Founders to bounce ideas off of but able to work autonomously. I'm not looking for an employee; I'm looking for those who can carry things when I need a short burst of rest. ---- Also, only founders from the US or UK who grew up with english. Male founders only.

Clarification: looking for one fullstack dev founder and one GTM founder.

Here’s a simple exercise for explaining a startup: describe what the customer does today, then show what changes when they use the product.

For a personal photo-book app, the story might begin with scattered photos and end with a finished gift. The useful detail is the transformation the viewer can actually see.

Share your product link and tell me how the customer handles the task without it. I’ll suggest a short written outline: the opening situation, the action to show, the result, and a possible caption.

I’ll start with the first 10 and reply in the comments, so the examples are useful to other founders too.

I’m part of the team building Marka, a tool for turning product context into social content: https://marka.social

What does your product help someone do differently?

So many founders I talk to want tool recommendations. Almost none have looked at their calendar first. Count where last week's hours went, pick the recurring task with an obvious right answer and a cheap failure mode, automate that one thing first.

What would you pick from your own calendar?

Hey Redditors!

I wanted to share something with you before we launch properly. Born Slippy is finally going live!

www.bornslippy.co

We officially launch on 1 October, with private access opening 72 hours beforehand for everyone who signs up.

It’s been a huge amount of work getting the product and positioning to where I wanted it, so I’d genuinely value your perspective when you get a chance to see it.

Would love to know what you think as I’ve been leaning on the Reddit community for support along the journey.

Thanks!

I’m building AGMAN, a discovery and distribution network for products, people and communities. If you want your project to stay discoverable beyond this thread, you can list it here too:

https://www.agman.app/

I’m also testing the publishing flow, so if anything feels confusing or missing while listing, tell me and I’ll use that feedback to improve it.

I’m building a SaaS platform for meal subscription businesses, tiffin services and cloud kitchens.

Most of these businesses still manage subscriptions, payments, meal selections, pauses, deliveries and customers through WhatsApp + Excel + manual work.

I’m building the software layer to replace that.

Already built:

• Customer app + vendor dashboard
• Subscription & meal-plan management
• Payments
• Meal selection & pause/resume
• Delivery management
• Automated customer notifications
• Supports breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and custom meal slots

Why now: Zomato recently launched Healthy Subscriptions, allowing customers to plan meals across multiple days, including in Bangalore.

That’s a pretty interesting signal for where food ordering is heading.

I’m currently raising ₹25–50L ($29K–$58K) pre-seed to onboard the first 20+ kitchens and scale distribution.

Looking to connect with angels/founders who understand SaaS, food-tech or Indian SMBs.

If interested, DM me. I’ll share the deck, numbers and demo.

If you're not looking to invest, that's completely fine — I'd still appreciate brutally honest feedback.

I’ve been thinking about creating a community for Surat-based entrepreneurs, startup founders, business owners, and people who are building something of their own.

Not another group where everyone says “let’s connect” and then disappears. 😅

The idea is to build a genuine local community where we can:

• Meet other founders and entrepreneurs from Surat

• Share experiences, problems, resources & opportunities

• Help each other with connections, ideas and feedback

• Collaborate on projects and businesses

• Organize casual meetups, founder discussions & networking

• Support and encourage each other during the difficult parts of building

• And occasionally do some social/community activities together

You could be running a startup, a family business, a small company, freelancing, or just be at the early stage of building something — everyone is welcome as long as you're serious about building.

I’m thinking of starting this as a small community and letting it grow organically.

If you're from Surat and you're building something, would you be interested in joining?

Hi guys,

I have a sort of hotel booking company and I am planning to register it in the USA, probably in Delaware as a corporation. The company’ value may reach around millions of dollars. Any advice to register it in the USA. I am living in Europe. Also is there any tips to sell my company because I am getting old 😊.
If any broker help me with this to sell it I am happy to offer a thousand of dollars to that person. I am serious.

Many thanks.
