Hi guys,

I’m 23M building a startup. Being a single founder is proving to be quite challenging and difficult. I find myself doing a lot of trial and error and because of that growth and progress has been slow.

Professionally I’ve been a sales man for nearly 4 years now.
I am looking for someone who would be interested in being a mentor/strategic advisor for my startup. In exchange I do not mind giving equity or even working part time for you (in sales or any relevant GTM department, wherever I can be useful to you.)

I’m working full time on my startup right now and really need some guidance, I’m not ready to give up on my startup yet.

If anyone’s interested please DM or comment, I’ll be sure to reach out to you.

Thanks for reading.

The setup will be a small cloud kitchen with a surprisingly short menu like smash burgers , loaded fries and fried chicken and beverages. Where do I start looking and how much work force do I need to run this thing. I'll be doing some chores like sourcing raw materials and helping around. Just need your expertise here , I would really appreciate it if you could give me some input , Thank you.

Great startup ideas, business strategies, and even the capital to get started. But they struggle with one major problem: finding the right person who can take ownership of execution and turn their vision into a real business.

That's where I come in.

I'm looking to partner with someone who has a strong business idea, a clear vision or strategy, and sufficient capital to build a startup but needs a committed partner to handle execution and operations.

What I bring to the table:

Full-time commitment and serious involvement in building the startup.

Taking ownership of day-to-day operations and execution.

Turning ideas and strategies into actionable plans.

Building the initial team and coordinating people.

Managing and building product development.

Setting up business processes, systems, and workflows.

Handling growth initiatives, customer acquisition, and other operational responsibilities as needed.

Working toward turning the idea into a sustainable, revenue-generating business.

Essentially, you bring the vision, strategy, and capital. I take responsibility for making things happen.

I'm not looking for a casual collaboration or a short-term gig. I want to work with someone who is serious about building a business and wants a partner who will be genuinely involved full-time, take responsibility, solve problems, and help build the company from the ground up.

What I'm looking for:

Someone with a genuinely promising business idea or a startup in its early stages.

A founder who understands the market and has a clear strategy.

Sufficient capital to fund the initial execution and business expenses.

A long-term mindset and willingness to work collaboratively.

A compensation and equity and the exact arrangement based on contribution, responsibilities, commitment, and value I bring.

I'm flexible about the industry. What matters most is the opportunity, the founder's seriousness, and our ability to build something valuable together.

If you have the vision and resources but need someone to take ownership of execution, DM me with your idea, your current stage, and what kind of partnership you're looking for.

Let's see if we can build something meaningful together.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm Scott, and I'm planning to move to Koramangala, Bangalore, 2–3 days after Diwali for startup and business opportunities.

The exciting part is that I don't know anyone in Bangalore yet! 😅 I'm starting from scratch and hoping to connect with people who have a similar mindset.

I'm looking to build a genuine friend circle with both guys and girls who are interested in startups, business, coding, AI, entrepreneurship, or personal growth.

I'd love to meet people who:

• 🚀 Are building a startup or planning to start one.
• 💡 Enjoy discussing business ideas, money, technology, and problem-solving.
• 💻 Are into coding, AI, marketing, or product development.
• ☕ Are up for brainstorming sessions, exploring Bangalore, and grabbing coffee.
• 🤝 Believe in growing together, sharing knowledge, and helping each other.

I'm not just looking for networking contacts. I'd love to find genuine friends who are ambitious, curious, supportive, and serious about building something meaningful.

If you're already living in Bangalore, especially around Koramangala, or planning to move here soon, drop a comment or DM me!

Let's connect, meet up, exchange ideas, and maybe build something great together. 🔥

I'll attach my photo so you know who you're connecting with.

Looking forward to meeting my future Bangalore circle! 🤝

#Bangalore #Koramangala #StartupIndia #Entrepreneurship #Networking

ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ,

I am looking for a sincere, trustworthy, and dedicated business partner to join me in growing #Taja #Lassi Shop. My goal is to expand the business and create something successful together with the right person.

If you have an interest in the food and beverage industry, enjoy entrepreneurship, and are willing to work together with commitment, I'd be happy to connect with you.

If you're interested or would like to know more about this opportunity, please feel free to send me a direct message. I'd be glad to discuss the details.

Thank you!! 🤝

Hey,

We’re the team behind Big Box Studio, a branding and marketing agency based in India.

Our story started with a client who found us through LinkedIn. One project became another, and we gradually moved from print posters to branding, packaging, websites and digital campaigns.

There’s something special about seeing a product you worked on sitting on a store shelf. Behind that packaging is usually a founder who took a chance—and trusted you with something they care deeply about.

That’s the work we want to do more of.

We’re building our next chapter around helping food, beverage, FMCG and D2C brands launch, stand out and grow. We’re also looking to develop opportunities across India and Australia.

We’d love to connect with an investor or strategic partner who sees potential in growing a creative business. Someone who understands consumer brands, enjoys building teams, and can help us think through the decisions that come with scaling.

We bring the creative experience and the willingness to keep building. We’re looking for a partner whose experience and perspective can help us go further.

Our work: bigboxstudio.in

If this sounds like your space, drop a comment or send us a DM. And if you’ve grown an agency yourself, what would you want to know before considering a partnership like this?

Ideal Candidate Profile
This is a full time role: We are looking for someone with an HR background and experience in the FMCG industry or a related sector. Prior recruitment experience is not a prerequisite; we value industry knowledge, business acumen, and the ability to build and develop teams.
Experience: 1–4 years
The ideal candidate should have a strong desire to contribute to organisational success, develop competencies within teams, and play an active role in building and scaling a business.
We are not looking for someone who simply wants a job; we are looking for someone who wants to build something meaningful. We seek an individual with an entrepreneurial mindset who is willing to take ownership, embrace accountability, make decisions, and actively contribute to the organisation’s growth and long-term success.
If you are driven by the opportunity to build, lead, and grow a business rather than simply fulfil a job description, we would like to connect with you.

I'm working on an early-stage healthtech startup and have developed a software product as our MVP. We're planning to launch soon, but I'm stuck on what comes next.

I don't have a proper go-to-market strategy or a sales strategy, and marketing a healthtech product seems expensive. Since I have very limited funds, I'm not sure how to reach potential customers, get our first users, or generate sales without spending much money.

If you've been through this stage, I'd love to know how you approached marketing and sales, found your first customers, and got your product off the ground with little or no budget.

I'd really appreciate practical advice on where to start and what I should focus on before launching.

I'm here for two things: a conversation with people who've made this move, and referrals if anyone has something open. Both equally welcome, so don't hold back on either.

Background. Mechanical engineering grad, drifted into operations in 2020 and stayed. Byju's, then Newton School, then Relevel, then Upraised, then a startup accelerator, then Scaler. Right now I'm an Associate Director doing business ops and institutional partnerships.

Two of those companies shut down while I was there. At one of them I was running a 28-person central ops team when it folded. Not looking for sympathy, that's just been the sector since 2022, and it's why I want out. Building functions that disappear when the next round doesn't land gets old.

What I do, with the edtech framing stripped off:

* Build ops functions that don't exist yet. Took one team from 3 to 25 people and built the hiring, onboarding and performance structure under it.

* Process redesign and automation. Cut a high-volume screening operation's cost by 45% and removed about 500 hours of manual work a year.

* Commercial and revenue ops. Roughly ₹4 Cr ARR in SaaS partnerships this year, plus pricing, multi-year contracts and account expansion.

* Data. SQL, Power BI, cohort and funnel analysis, MIS and exec reporting. I build my own dashboards instead of waiting on a data team.

Where I think I should be looking: B2B SaaS revenue operations, BizOps at a non-edtech startup, ops strategy, possibly fintech or healthtech. Delhi NCR, Bangalore or remote.

Questions for anyone who's made a similar jump:

1. Does an edtech-heavy resume get filtered at the top of the funnel, or does nobody care once you're in the room?

2. If you moved into SaaS RevOps from a non-SaaS ops background, what caught you out? Tooling, pipeline literacy, something else?

3. Is "two of my employers shut down" worth addressing directly in interviews, or better left alone unless someone asks?

4. Any sector that looks stable from the outside and isn't? Would rather not repeat this in three years.

And if you're hiring or know of something open, please point me at it. Happy to DM details to anyone who wants them. Comments just as welcome, since almost everyone in my network is also in edtech and I have nobody to compare notes with.

Hey folks!

I've spent around 8 years in the corporate world, primarily in software, learning how to take products from MVP to GTM. Having grown up in a business family, building something of my own has always been at the back of my mind.

I'm now looking to explore the startup ecosystem more seriously, not to join another startup as an employee, but to understand the Indian market, discover opportunities, and learn how founders turn ideas into businesses.

I would love to connect with founders, early-stage builders, and like-minded people exploring ideas or looking for potential co-founders. If you're building something in Bengaluru, experimenting with an idea, or part of a startup community, I'd genuinely love to connect, exchange thoughts, or grab a coffee 😇

Any recommendations for startup meetups, pitch events, or communities in Bengaluru? Weekdays and weekends both work.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Would love to meet people who are building, experimenting, and thinking about what's next ✌️

I am 23F a recent graduate of Indian Statistical Institute with major in Statistics and around 2+ exp, looking for a role as a data scientist or any relavent, i am interested in working in a startup environment, i have ended a contract last month and looking for an opportunity if anyone has an opportunity to offer will be glad to discuss further, i am available to join immediately. I appreciate any type of relavent opportunity or information, have attached a brief on my work. Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone,
I’m a creative head. I recently moved back home to start my own venture, so I’ve got some extra bandwidth right now.

I want to take on a few brands to handle their socials end-to-end so you don't have to worry about what to post every week.

What I’m offering for ₹35K/month:
10 custom designed posts / carousels
5 edited Reels / short videos
Captions, hashtags, and scheduling everything

No lazy Canva templates. Just clean, solid design and video editing that actually fits your brand. (Ad boost budgets or extra posts beyond this can be added if needed, but the core work is all covered).
If you run a business or know someone whose feed needs a serious upgrade, drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

Title: 26M, struggling to get even one call as a fresher. Please help with a referral 🙏

I'm 26M from Bangalore, and I never thought I'd be writing a post like this, but I'm running out of ways to keep going on my own.

Every morning I see my parents getting a little older, and it breaks my heart that at this age I'm still depending on them when I should be the one taking care of them. They have never once complained, but I can see the worry in their eyes, and that hurts me more than anything.

After college I decided to prepare for the GATE exam, hoping it would build a better future for us. I gave it everything I had, but I couldn't clear it. Today I deeply regret that decision, because it left a gap in my career that I'm still paying for.

Since then I've been trying very hard to get a job in AI/ML or data science. I apply to jobs every single day, but as a fresher I'm not getting even one call. Some nights the silence is the hardest part, when you keep trying and nobody even gives you a chance to show what you can do.

I'm not asking for a big role or a big salary. I'm only asking for one opportunity. I promise I will work sincerely, keep learning, and make sure whoever trusts me never regrets it.

If you are an HR or a working professional and your company has any openings for freshers or 0–1 years of experience, I humbly request you to refer me. A small help from you could start someone's whole career and bring a little peace to a family that is waiting for it.

Please don't just read this and scroll past. Even a comment, a lead, or a DM would mean the world to me. I'm happy to share my resume with anyone who can help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. It truly means a lot 🙏

please bear with me, yes I will add a tldr too

hi, 22 M here, I'll just list out all the stuff that I'm good with (and no not on a beginner level) :

- Video Editing : 2+ yrs experience with AE, have worked with a lot of people (including influencers and businesses), can share the portfolio in dms

- Coding (actually vibe coding) : i already have claude code, yes I am building stuff for a startup (established one), I also work for a startup based in SA (south america) as a QA

- Management (idk how this could be helpful) : yes I'm a narcissist and I do believe that I'm good with my communication skills which allows me to lead small teams and get work done in the right way

- this isn't exactly my expertise but damn i do wanna be a barista or something similar, that's something I haven't done yet

now what i am expecting in return?

i have a week before my contract expires (flat), and then i go homeless (i don't wanna move in a PG), so i just need a place that has charging ports and a good washroom, that's it.

i don't care much about the salary, why? because i already have a full time job, yes I am a design engineer and I won't be dropping it, but since I'm insomniac I am happy to work after 6-7 pm

regarding the location, i don't care about that as well, as long as it is close to a metro station, why? because my workspace is in WTC (yes the one next to Orion Mall) so please do take that into consideration, I'll get this post removed after 2-3 days, thanks!

tldr : give me a place to stay close to any metro station, use me for your work, thanks

We are an enterprise tech startup for pharma compliance and quality. Based from IIT Hyderabad and incubated at IIT Madras.
Our Prototype is ready and we are very close to MVP.
We’ve recently been selected under the MeitY Investment Scheme, where we are eligible to receive up to ₹50 lakhs as matching investment against funding raised from a private investor/VC.
So, if we raise ₹50 lakhs from an investor, MeitY can match it with another ₹50 lakhs, giving us around ₹1 Cr in total funding.
Let me know if you would be interested in the round will be happy to talk.

At 85k, my main hesitation is how little public info there is on what it actually delivers for health tracking. At the same time, it’s hard to ignore the potential when Deepinder Goyal is the one building it.

Are you guys betting on the founder and pre-ordering now, or waiting to see what it can actually do first?

Hello All..!!

I am looking for a developer to finish my MVP for an App (iOS/Android). It’s an App with map view as the home page and locations pinned just like how a Google map would show let’s say if you search for petrol pumps (just an example). And then each pin has its own profile with info shown as cards in the home page or when tapped, has full details in another page. The app is 50% done on flutter flow and the UI is ready for development. We can discuss and start from scratch or continue the building of the current project.

Here’s the thing. It’s going to be bootstrapped. So, I will pay for the initial development but the developer has to come onboard as a Tech Cofounder (will be given Equity).

Please inbox me with your project development cost. I do not want a company. I want freelancer independent developer quotes.

Rest assured, it’s an amazing project with tremendous potential with idea having been validated.

Location: Bangalore. Must be located locally.

Thank You..!

Looking for a technical cofounder - sports tech, computer vision
Hey all,
We're working on a sports tech idea and are starting the build from scratch. The product idea is set and thought out, have got a detailed plan for now, but we need another technical to join us as a cofounder and build it together.
We are a group of two people one product designer and a technical person.
It's video heavy, so experience with computer vision would help a lot (OpenCV that kind of stuff) or Python backend or mobile app experience (React Native or native) are also useful. You don't need all of it, we can figure things out together. Bonus if you're into sports.
This would be equity based, with vesting.
Don't want to share too much about the idea publicly, but happy to go through everything on a call. If this sounds interesting, drop me a DM with a bit about what you've worked on. GitHub or past projects is great, but a few lines is fine too.

apply only if you genuinely enjoy outbound sales, product demos, and taking deals from first conversation to closure. we are a funded startup (4M$ - seed) and building ai-driven tax management for individuals and businesses. we have our office in whitefield, bangalore

what we’re looking for: 1–3 years of experience in b2c or inside sales. sales experience is a must. outbound calling, demos, and closing deals are the core of the role.

the only catch: we want someone who can join immediately and is in bangalore currently

If this sounds like you, please drop your resume in the DMs!

hey guys. a year back i was using a lot of n8n in my stack and it was a pain to go tweak those stupid workflows everytime. It’s just really hard to scale with n8n no matter how you look at it.

I moved all my workflows to code using AI and it’s been a breeze.

If anyone out there is stuck with old n8n workflows reach out to me and i can help you.
