I’ve been working on a concept for an app called iTree (working name). I think it’s genuinely unique, but I need some brutal, honest product feedback to see if I'm missing a massive blind spot. The Core Problem: Context Collapse & The PDF Nightmare Right now, our digital identities are completely fragmented and stuck in the past. If you're job hunting, you're constantly updating static resume PDFs. If you're looking for a partner (especially in family-centric or community-bas...

This is what I tried to do and it was hard. I tried to do startup work alongside doing sports and being healthy. For the context I am currently doing an AI accessibility startup. It was hard especially because my health few years ago was melting down. However after some diet research (actually it took me 2 years but it is for another post) I came to a conclusion that I just was not fueling my brain properly. Here are few things that really changed the way I worked: Protein to fat r...

Hey guys, my startup went under and I’m left with $100k in GCP credits that expire in a little over a month. Instead of letting them completely vanish, is there anything worthwhile I could build or do that could bring in some extra money? They are basically just sitting there collecting dust, would hate to see it go to waste. There has to be something i can do with them, just not sure what.

Hi, I started a service business 2 months ago and I have one serious client. I want to get more of course but I don’t understand if my idea is stupid or not, if it’s even a problem that requires a solution. I offer brand strategy that helps convert founders’ existing content into a structured business pipeline through cross-platform systems and correct positioning. Basically setting up revenue generation systems on social media - content strategy, funnel creation, landing pages, email marketi...

We're currently building a platform that allows restaurants to build a website under 10 min with their Menu, Images and branding. You're limited to prebuilt page structures like Home, About, Contact, Menu, FAQ and Gallery for now. I am looking for some perspective in a few areas like pricing and features. Is $29.99 a good starting point for just a website? Are we making a mistake restricting how much of the website they can edit? Our goal was to make it in a way so they can't mess up at ...

Would you pay for Advance Invoice generator?? Hello community, I am building an advanced invoice generator for businesses that works offline, and the data is stored only on your device. There is no server, ensuring full security for your data. You can generate bills with and without GST. You can also track your revenue, bills, overdues, and partial payments. Additionally, you can receive money directly into your bank account. When you generate an invoice, it will display a QR code for the ...

Something that's been bothering me for a while Every tool now does everything for you. write your copy, generate your ideas, plan your roadmap, build your content. and on paper that sounds amazing But i've noticed something. the founders who just let AI do everything start sounding the same. same ideas, same content angles, same positioning. because they're all pulling from the same machine that gives the most statistically average answer The ones actually standing out are using AI differe...

i started a contracting engagement recently that opened my eyes to an unserviced niche that i have some connections in. i had a list of about 50 prospective clients that were companies taking requests via web forms, likely minimal or weak CRM, no ability to buy immediately on the website, etc. it seemed like a golden goose, and somehow I missed someone doing _exactly_ what I was about to start proposing to these clients. i discovered they'd also raised ~$8M since 2021, although they pivoted 2 ...

I want to start a business me and another person. I will only be doing the funding, and they will do all the operational part that is related to the business. I looked online what kind of equity should I give, and it says that I should get 60% and they should get 40%. Another opinion is that I give 80% and only get 20%. I will be funding €56,000 and the partner fund nothing, the “fund” is his work on the business. Opinion welcome. [lin...

A little bit of context, I'm a soloprenuer working on an AI that answer question about you code architecture and proven decision for heavy coder using AI. I have no sales exp but know that it is a problem. So the question is: Should I connect with my customer first and sales before building or vice versa? Looking forward to your comments on this.

It's a well known trope among entrepreneurs and productivity-obsessed folk that 20% of your efforts will bring 80% of your results and I'm still unsure if I'm buying into it. Even if true, I think the 80% energy you used that didn't lead to big results, led to lessons you had to learn in order to narrow down to the 20% that made the greatest impact. That said, it also implies that you don't need to give 100% of your energy all the time. Once you've figured out what the most impactful 20% is...

Wondering if anyone interviewed with PearX for their current batch and got through? I applied a month and a half after the deadline and still managed to get R1. Still waiting to hear back from them. Has anyone made it all the way and what was your experience?

hey :) a few friends and i started building a project around finding friends and activity buddies, basically based on imessage agent. originally i thought the biggest problem was finding people. but after talking to more people i honestly don't think that's true anymore. there are people everywhere. reddit, discord, school, clubs, apps... the weird part is that everyone says they want friends, everyone replies, everyone seems interested, and then somehow the conversation dies a few days ...

I have completed the development of my application, end to end tested, it's a platform for vendors and customers. I'm a tech guy don't have that sales skill. How to convince people to sign up on the platform? And since I'm the only person, how to manage social media at early stage?

Hi there! My husband and I are working on a web/mobile based application launching in beta this year. The app is designed to allow users to track, rate/review, and discover new video games. Think Letterboxd or Goodreads but for video games. So we'll be collecting data like name, email address, video game preferences/ratings + reviews, and allowing certain social media-type activities (posting status updates, commenting, liking posts, etc.). We'll ultimately be a freemium app (and will use a thir...

Hey everyone, Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I thought I would put it out here. If anyone here is building something in healthcare, healthtech, life sciences, or medtech in the US, I’d be happy to connect and help in any way I can. A little about me: I have around 6 years of experience working across healthcare, medical devices, product management, product strategy, operations, and early-stage product development. I also have a Doctor of Pharmacy background and rece...

I am currently working on a project on the side that I think has some broad applicability for FP&A departments, but not sure how to fully validate this outside of some prior industry knowledge I had. I didn’t work in FP&A specifically, but was a consultant and worked with many FP&A managers in the past. And while working with their models I continued feeling a pain point that I’m trying to now solve. This is very much a side project that I had a random burst of inspiration for, s...

I'm currently on Mailchimp but I'm desperate to switch. I started on Mailchimp because it seemed easy to use, but I'm now realizing I need to pay extra if I want to do any actual email marketing. I'm looking for campaigns + transactional email, and my budget is fairly limited right now. I've looked into Sender and it seems like a good option, really generous free plan, but I'd like to get more insights from real users. I've also looked into Brevo, but I'm confused about automation limits. It ...

European Pre-seed founder here with LLC in Daleware, trying to dial in my sourcing process for specialized vendors and would love to hear how apporach it. Spoecific situation: we need a corporate cleanup of our Delaware C-Corp before our next round. About 30-40 pages of docs to review, plus reconciling Carta against the underlying paperwork. Standard work for someone who knows the space, but I've burned a lot of time on the sourcing side and want to fix my process. What I've tried so far: -...

Hey everyone, has anyone participated in the Peachscore + Dealum Accelerator? I just got accepted into Cohort 32 and they are asking for a $320 enrollment fee. I’m only really interested in the $10k OpenAI credits they advertise, but their landing pages are pertty inconsistent about whether that perk is actually guaranteed. Additionally, the rest of the program looks a bit like AI slop from the outside. If you’ve been in a recent cohort, did you actually receive the OpenAI credits? Is paying...

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how to proceed and would love some input. I work for a big academic medical center, and I've had an idea for a start up focused on MedEd for about 5 years. It was only last November that this became feasible to start actualizing via Claude Code (I code, not SQL/React ). I've been tinkering in my off hours on an MVP and I'm getting to a point where I may be able to put it in front of people soon. I spoke to IP folks and they said as long as it doesn't use un...

I began consulting for a few startups in the US and the UK as a de facto Chief of Staff. I now have some additional bandwidth and am looking to take on more consulting projects. I'm interested in learning how early-stage founders typically hire a Chief of Staff. Is versatility a key factor in their decision-making, or do they prioritize domain expertise? Additionally, do they tend to prefer candidates who can be in-person? [link] &#32...

Hi all As the title suggests I’m looking for interesting case studies or insights on marketplace growth tactics. For context, I’ve setup a marketplace product, currently just a web app with native launching ideally next week. Early traction feels solid, approx 400 users from manual outreach in the appropriate local geographic Facebook groups. The 400 users are split across the buyer and seller side of the marketplace. In our case there are 3 user types, two of them being sellers. I’m being...

I run a small B2B SaaS startup with a team of 10 people and lately I’ve realised competitor analysis sounds way easier in theory than it is in reality. People always say “track your competitors closely” like it’s some simple task, but when you’re an early stage startup founder you’re already handling product decisions, hiring, onboarding, customer calls, operations, investor updates and a hundred other things every day. Most nights I end up checking competitor websites, LinkedIn pages, pric...
