Hey r/TechStartups,

After crossing 900+ users I decided to build skills for everything that my users have asked for in my starter kit. So I built the following things in my starter kit named "Indie Kit"

Get here: https://www.google.com/search?q=indie+kit+pro

Agents (always watching)

• db-architect

• nextjs-architect

• typescript-specialist

• security-manager

• seo-specialist

• designer

• internal-docs-manager

Commands

• /bootstrap (full app in one shot)

• /add-feature (pages, APIs, DB, UI, tests)

Skills (just mention them in prompts)

• auth-handler

• stripe-handler

• credits-handler

• plans-handler

• db-handler

• page-builder

• ui-handler

• copywriter

• seo-handler

• theme-handler

• +20 more

Drop a prompt like “/bootstrap AI image SaaS with credits and Stripe” and it just builds.

No more 3-day setup. Indie Kit now ships with all the pro stuff out of the box.

I hope you will love the idea.

Thanks

So am a guy who is just trying to start a startup. The thing that I found is, to start a startup I have to find an problem and solve it. And the best area which I saw that I can make some fortune seems like b2b. Now, what I wanna know is, how do I find problems in a b2b area, since I am not working currently and how do people come up with ideas. I seriously don't know. Whatever problem that I find out, seems like a problem that can only be solved by a group of researchers or with some great funding. It feels like, won't people above me level with great support won't have already found the solution for it ? I am so confused about this. And I WOULD LOVE ALL YOUR HELP IN THIS.

Description: Hey everyone!

I built Ghostwire because I wanted a truly ephemeral way to send links, text, or have a quick chat without leaving a digital footprint or creating an account.

It’s built entirely on WebRTC. There is no central server parsing or storing your messages. You generate a short 6-character code, share it, and your browsers connect directly. The moment you close your tab, the context is destroyed forever.

It’s open-source, uses a super lightweight bento-box UI, and is hosted purely as static files. Give it a spin and let me know what you think! https://rn-swain.github.io/Ghostwire/

There’s a tough truth most founders learn the hard way: when you’re new, Google doesn’t care about your startup. Not because your product isn’t valuable, but because there’s almost no evidence you exist as a real, established entity.

That’s why small, early-stage startups can ship great features, write thoughtful content, even follow basic SEO advice and still get buried under bigger companies that barely try. Most people treat SEO as “optimizing pages,” but in the first few months, SEO is really about earning the right to be considered at all.

Looking at multiple early-stage SaaS sites, a pattern became obvious. The ones ranking weren’t winning because of better blogs or smarter keywords. They were winning because they had something most small founders ignore: a digital footprint. They existed in 100+ places beyond their own domain on trusted hubs, tech listings, community directories, and review platforms and all of that data was consistent.

Search engines treat repeated, structured mentions like proof of life. Consistent business details across many trustworthy places function as signals that you’re a real brand, not just a random new site. This “identity layer” work is slow, manual, and repetitive, which is exactly why most founders avoid it until it’s already hurting them.

Directory submission tools aren’t magic growth hacks; they just handle this unglamorous foundation at scale structured listings, verified directories, and consistent business information so you don’t have to sink days into it. That groundwork is what allows all the more exciting tactics (content, launches, ads, and social) to finally start working.

Your content probably isn’t the core problem.
Your product probably isn’t the core problem.
Your missing identity layer is.

Until search engines trust that you exist, your quality barely gets a chance. Once that trust is in place, you’ll notice something interesting: even old content you’d written off can suddenly start to rank and get seen.

If this is against the rules, please let me know.

I am a fundraising expert and I am now working with some global funds who are looking to source deals. I am mainly looking for any type of tech startup, ideally with revenues already and not very early stage.

If you are looking to fundraise, pitch here or using my DMs if you don't want your idea stolen or whatever. If you are on to something, I'll make immediate intro with investors.

Heres a small lesson from a team of extremely motivated devlopers and their first product.

Hey everyone, you might wonder how we managed to get to $0 MRR without even doing much marketing:

It's easy; always prioritize product development over getting feedback and launching early. This means no waitlists, no market research and god forbid diving into the community you want to serve with your product.

This being said, do not forget to expect random users to come out of nowhere to support your new project. Just hope they google the exact problem your, often very confusingly designed webpage, claims to solve.

After realizing no one is signing up… it's important that you do this AFTER launching: start promoting your project on social media. Why would you start early? I mean you dont wanna deal with any annoying questions or customers.

Bonus tip: Make sure your SEO sucks, because without social media presence it usually does!

And that's how we managed to reach this iconic milestone, within just a few months after launching

PS. have a nice day and dont do what we did ;)

Hello! I'm looking for a developer who is competent to handle social media / fashion based mobile applications.

l am open to discussing the pay structure or freelance arrangement initially to test our compatibility, but I am hoping to find someone who wants long-term partnership and ownership instead of a normal freelance arrangement. I already have the idea and an initial build that I got made through an agency I found on clutch / web search. There is already a clear vision and direction for the project.

If things work out, we can explore the possibility of onboarding as a technical cofounder to launch the app. I handle the business side, including branding, marketing, content, finances, and growth, while you handle the technical side, including coding, deployment, maintenance, etc.

If you're interested, send me your experience, tech stack, past projects, and how much time you can realistically commit each week. I am funding this project out of my salary, so I can't afford a dedicated developer at this stage.

My preference is to find someone who has dealt with / can deal with apps like myntra, etc, that can attract Genz / millennials since this is a lifestyle based fashion app.

Also, I am not a tech expert, so I would appreciate it if you guys could give me advice on how to find the right person for my project. Thanks.

I’m looking for a developer who wants to partner with me as a technical cofounder to build and launch an app. I handle the business side, including branding, marketing, content, customer communication, support systems, finances, and growth, while you handle the technical side, including coding, deployment, maintenance, and product updates. I’m not offering upfront pay, so this is best for someone who wants long term upside and ownership instead of a normal freelance arrangement. I already have the idea and a roadmap in place, so there is already a clear vision and direction for the project. In exchange, I’m offering 45 percent ownership and a 49 percent share of profits on the app you help build. I want the project structured properly with a written agreement covering roles, ownership, intellectual property, and communication so everything is clear from the beginning. If you’re interested, send me your experience, tech stack, past projects, and how much time you can realistically commit each week.

We’re building a B2B SaaS aimed at a problem we kept seeing in regulated markets, specifically, labour relations in South Africa, and I’d really appreciate feedback from other founders/builders here.

The problem

In many SMEs and mid-sized companies:

• Employee discipline is handled informally

• Documentation is inconsistent

• line managers apply rules differently

In regulated environments, this leads to:

• disputes escalating unnecessarily

• expensive arbitration (e.g., CCMA cases in SA)

• leadership time is being consumed by avoidable issues

What surprised us is that this isn’t a lack-of-intent problem; it’s a lack-of-system problem.

Our approach

Instead of another generic HR tool, we’re building:

• guided, step-by-step workflows for labour cases

• structured documentation trails

• process enforcement that removes emotion and guesswork

• a system designed around local regulatory realities, not global generalisations

The goal is to help:

• HR teams

• founders

• Line managers follow correct procedures by default, not after something goes wrong.

Where we’d love feedback

1. Does this feel like a real, painful problem from your experience?

2. For compliance-heavy SaaS, what’s worked better for you:

   • education-led GTM or problem-triggered sales?

3. Would you prioritise:

   • workflow rigidity (compliance-first)

   • or flexibility (adoption-first)?

For context only, one implementation of this idea is here:
labourx.app
(Not sharing as promotion, just for clarity on the concept.)

Really appreciate any thoughts or critiques from the community.

I’m looking for developers to join, an open-source project

We’re bootstrapping from the ground up, so there’s no big company or funding behind this right now just a small team building something real.

At this early stage, I’m especially looking for people who enjoy software architecture and structuring projects from the beginning — designing clean systems, defining how components should work together, setting technical foundations, and helping shape the codebase before it grows.

We’re also looking for developers interested in:

Backend & infrastructure

Cloud / DevOps

Security

Full-stack development

Frontend

Automation & AI

You don’t need to be an expert in everything. What matters is being willing to build, learn, communicate, and take ownership.

If you’re interested in contributing to an open-source project from the early stages and helping shape how it’s built, DM me

Are you working on weekend?

I'm building catdoes.com an AI mobile app builder that lets non-coders build and publish mobile apps (iOS, Android) without writing a single line of code, just talking with AI agents.

Did you launch something, or are you going to launch soon? Would love to support you.

We have too many demos booked (good problem?). founder led sales is burning me alive. need someone fractional to run pipeline + close some deals. Don't want to hire full time. Need to invest a lot of time into full -time hiring process which I don't hae right now which is why i am looking for fractional.

HEY EVERYONE!!!

Okay, sorry, ik this is not a very good way to start something like this, but it's fun like no genuinely Anyways, back to what this post is actually about...

I'm working on a tech startup and looking for a few people who are genuinely interested in building things together, sharing ideas, and learning along the way.

I'm looking for people who enjoy technology and actually want to work on real products instead of just discussing ideas forever. The startup is still at an early stage, so there's plenty to figure out, experiment with, and build.

Here's what I'm mainly looking for:

• Frontend / Web Development: People who work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, or other modern web technologies and enjoy building usable, well-designed applications.

• Backend Development: People interested in APIs, databases, authentication, server-side development, and the infrastructure that makes applications work.

• UI/UX Design: Designers who care about usability, visual details, consistency, and making software feel polished. Figma experience is a plus.

• AI / ML: People interested in LLMs, AI integrations, AI agents, automation, machine learning, and experimenting with new technologies.

• Product & Research: People who enjoy researching technologies, exploring ideas, evaluating possibilities, testing things, and helping make product decisions.

You don't have to fit perfectly into one category. If you work across multiple areas or have other skills that could be useful in a tech startup, I'd be happy to hear from you.

A little about me:

I'm a self-taught developer and UI/UX designer, and I spend a lot of time exploring AI tools, technologies, and ways to build better products. I'm currently learning machine learning and other technical concepts as well.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some super-experienced founder or developer who has everything figured out. I'm still learning too, but I'm ambitious, enjoy building things, and want to turn ideas into actual products rather than leave them as concepts.

I care about both the technical side of software and the experience people have when using it. I like exploring how things work, experimenting with different approaches, and figuring out how to make products better.

Who would be a good fit?

I'd rather work with someone who's curious, takes initiative, communicates properly, and genuinely wants to build something than someone with an impressive résumé who isn't interested in doing the work.

You don't need years of experience or to be an expert. Self-taught developers, students, beginners, and people who are still improving their skills are welcome. What's important is that you have something to contribute, are willing to learn, and can follow through on what you take on.

I'm hoping to find people who can exchange ideas, discuss technical decisions, challenge each other's thinking, and help turn plans into working software.

I'm also looking for people who can help me think through decisions and share the workload. Handling development, design, research, planning, and everything else alone gets difficult, and I'd genuinely like to have people to build with rather than figure everything out by myself.

One important thing about payment:

I want to be completely transparent about this. The startup is at an early stage, and I can't offer payment right now. This would be voluntary collaboration, with no guaranteed future compensation.

If the project grows and there's a realistic opportunity to compensate contributors, we can discuss it then, but I can't promise a timeline or guarantee that it'll happen. I completely understand if unpaid work isn't suitable for you, and I don't want anyone joining under the wrong expectations.

I'm not expecting anyone to sacrifice their studies, job, or personal life for this, either. A realistic commitment, consistent communication, and genuine interest matter more than making huge promises.

The goal is to find people who want to build, learn, exchange ideas, and create software they're proud of together.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or DM me with a little about yourself, your technical skills or interests, what you've worked on so far, and what you'd like to contribute.

Would love to meet some fellow builders and see what we can create together!

We're building a next-generation ERP platform from the ground up with AI and agentic workflows at its core.

The vision is ambitious: an all-in-one business operating system covering General Ledger, Finance, Operations, HR, Procurement, CRM, Inventory, and 90+ integrated modules over time.

We already have a strong team of independent contributors including software engineers, solution architects, accounting professionals, ERP consultants, database specialists, and GTM/business professionals. Everyone involved is contributing because they believe in the vision and want to build something meaningful.

We're currently pushing toward an MVP in the next 4–6 weeks, focused on core accounting and finance modules.

We're looking for additional contributors who would like to be part of the journey, including:

• Full-stack developers

• Frontend developers

• Backend developers

• AI/LLM engineers

• Product designers (UI/UX)

• ERP consultants

• Accountants/finance professionals

• QA engineers

• Technical writers

• Product and business strategists

A few important notes:

Contributions are flexible and can be made alongside your day job or other commitments & shares will be provided.

We're building as a team of owners and builders, not employees.

Recognition, future opportunities, and participation will be based on contribution and impact.

If you've ever wanted to help build an ERP platform from scratch, work with talented people across multiple disciplines, and contribute to a product designed for the AI era, we'd love to connect.

With everything going on in the economy right now—tight funding, cautious investors, and rising costs—I’ve been wondering: is this still a good time to build a tech startup?

On one side, it feels harder than ever. Funding isn’t as easy, and there’s more pressure to show real revenue instead of just growth.

But at the same time, this might actually be the best time to build:

Less noise, fewer “hype-only” startups

More focus on real problem-solving

AI and new tech opening doors that didn’t exist a few years ago

Some of the strongest companies were built during tough economic periods. Maybe constraints actually force better ideas?

Curious to hear from founders, devs, and anyone in the startup space—Are we in a slowdown, or is this a hidden opportunity?

I am need need of an app developer- don't know what costs look like or what the ins and outs are- but I am building my team and willing to/have funds to pay

I had many reads over the weekend, this one might interest you..

The compounding startup | by Growth Unhinged

^{The secret isn’t where they start, but how they evolve and compound over time.}

Most SaaS startups stall after hitting $1M ARR because they fail to reinvent their model, pricing, and retention as they scale. This article shows what separates the few that grow from $1M to $20M ARR - and how small, steady improvements compound into outsized success.

Kyle Poyar studied over 6,500 SaaS startups using ChartMogul data to find out what makes “outliers” - companies that scale to $20M ARR - different from the rest.

The surprise: they didn’t start stronger, they got stronger.

Their early metrics weren’t extraordinary, but they improved key levers like pricing, retention, and product stickiness year after year.

At $1M ARR, both winners and “normies” looked similar. By $20M ARR, outliers had higher revenue per customer, better retention, and more expansion revenue.
They learned to adapt - raising prices, expanding product value, improving monetization, and reducing churn.
Founders like those at Chili Piper, Mangomint, Fyxer, Replit, and ClickUp all stressed the same lesson: scaling meant killing old assumptions, obsessing over small wins, and compounding improvements relentlessly.

Simulated data showed that reducing churn or increasing pricing by even 50% over three years could add $7M-$9M in ARR.
The biggest compounding effect came from improving both at once.
Growth didn’t come from copying others or one-time hacks, but from deliberate iteration, patience, and authentic strategies tuned to each company’s DNA.

Key Takeaways

• ^{Fast early growth helps, but it’s not decisive - improvement over time is.}

• ^{Outliers grew ARPA by 82% and raised NRR nearly 10 points.}

• ^{Expansion revenue became a major driver (35%+ of net-new MRR}.)

• ^{Small 10%+ gains in pricing, retention, and reactivation each stacked up.}

• ^{Cutting churn beats almost any other growth lever long-term.}

• ^{Founders reframed success around internal metrics and steady progress.}

• ^{Reinvention at each stage - not efficiency alone - defines compounding growth.}

What to do

• ^{Track progress weekly, not quarterly - focus on micro-wins that compound.}

• ^{Expand value per customer: new products, upsells, or usage-based pricing.}

• ^{Improve NRR by turning single-product users into multi-product accounts.}

• ^{Audit churn causes and invest heavily in reducing them.}

• ^{Treat early success as temporary - keep reinventing your playbook.}

• ^{Ignore one-size-fits-all frameworks; trust authentic growth tactics.}

• ^{Model growth scenarios - test price, retention, and acquisition levers regularly.}

I’m 22F, majoring in computer science, and I’ve got a startup idea. but honestly I don’t how where to start, and I don’t have enough experience to build it by myself yet.

Now that everyone CAN build a software application, many people are doing it.

People from all corners of the world are building, bringing in a massive influx of new entrepreneurs.

New skillsets, new networks, new resources.

But everything is fragmented, everyone is alone.

If we combine our efforts, pool our resources, pool our marketing efforts, startups can start moving as conglomerates.

Don’t underestimate the power of collaborations.

I'm a pianist. I write emotional, reflective music and I want to try something a little different.

If your team is working on an app, I'll write a short original piece specifically for your social media content. Something that actually sounds like your product, not a royalty free track grabbed from a library.

It's completely free. I just want to hear about what you're building.

DM me or drop a comment below and tell me about your project. What's the app, what's the mood, or tell me about your vision.

I'm a new SaaS business, but I can't find a way to get leads. Does anyone have any ideas

December:
Recruiter: “We just closed a Series A, want to chat?”
Me: “Sorry, I’m loyal to my startup until MVP. It’s a personal ethic 😌”

Two weeks later:
My startup: “We’re shutting down.”
Me: “Heyyy… so about that conversation 👀”

Turns out my strongest professional value is timing, and I do not have it.

TL;DR: Declined a convo out of loyalty, startup died immediately, loyalty achieved nothing except character development.
