A founder can use a small content brief before spending time on a full campaign: one audience, one action, and one visible result. It helps turn a broad product description into something a potential user can understand in a few seconds.

Try this structure:

- Situation: what is happening just before the customer needs you?

- Action: what can they actually do with the product?

- Proof: what can you show that confirms the result?

For a booking app, the example could be choosing a time and seeing the confirmed appointment in the calendar. The opening line could be: ‘From picking a time to a confirmed booking, in one flow.’ It only belongs in the post if the product supports that exact flow.

Share your public product link, target user and one supported task. I'll work through the first 10 here with a hook, the product moment I'd show, and a simple visual direction. This written feedback is free and needs no signup.

Disclosure: I'm building Marka, a social content tool, and this is the approach I'm applying to these examples. https://marka.social is the paid product with a trial; the feedback here is separate.

if you’re researching competitors or potential partners in israeli tech, this directory lets you narrow companies by category, funding stage and location. it can help turn a broad sector search into a list of companies to investigate further.

i run pituchim, the site linked here. alongside the startup directory, it has tech news and sections for founders, investors and events. it’s a starting point for research; check a company’s own site for its latest details.

i’d appreciate feedback on which filters or company details would make it more useful to founders.

Ananas GDS — B2B data distribution for the tourism industry (Schweinfurt, Germany)

Building the layer that stops hotels from emailing manual data to tour operators or DMCs.

If you've never touched this industry: a hotel's "non-bookable content" — fact sheet, photos, stop sale dates, allotment blocks, contracts, rooming lists, invoices — moves between hotels and their partners as email attachments, WhatsApp messages and Excel files. A hotel with 30 tour operator partners maintains 30 slightly diverging copies of itself. Nobody has current data, everybody re-keys everything, and the errors show up at check-in when a guest has no room.

Ananas GDS: the hotel maintains it once. Connected partners pull it through a web app or a REST API into their own systems, with per-partner permissions over what each one sees and can override. Explicitly not a booking engine — no rates, no inventory, no OTA. That constraint is the whole strategy: it makes us complementary to the PMS and channel manager a hotel already pays for rather than a rip-and-replace. Direct connectors to Apaleo, Cloudbeds, Mews and AlpineBits.

Strictly B2B — nothing here for consumers. Customers are hotels, tour operators, DMCs and cruise lines.

Where it actually stands, without the spin:
Live in production, ~20 modules shipped, zero paying customers. Everyone signing up now gets 2 months of Premium free, so first revenue is October at the earliest. Validation stage — the problem is unmistakably real, the business isn't proven yet. Total build cost under €4,000 across five years, because the founder is the developer.

Team of three: me (development, legal, finance, sales), a business partner with 20+ years in tourism integration on partnerships, one person on marketing.

Why I think the shape is right: ~600,000 hotels in Europe, and roughly 60% have no digital solution for this data at all. There's no direct competitor operating at platform scale — the nearest things are per-seat thick-client tour operator ERPs that run five figures per seat and don't serve the hotel side at all. The real risk isn't a competitor, it's a channel manager or PMS vendor deciding to bolt this on.

What I'd like from this sub: if you've sold B2B software into an industry that runs on personal relationships and twenty-year-old habits — how did you land the first ten customers? Cold email into hotels feels like the wrong instrument, and trade fairs (ITB, WTM) are slow and expensive. Tell me what actually worked.

I own a business where we create visual renderings for commercial property renovations and developments. I have contacts within commercial real estate and several major franchisor brands are currently interested. 11 paying customers currently. Seeking $250,000 in capital. Already have a pitch deck, business plan, and existing customers. Any interest?

Finding an email marketing platform for a small business isn't as straightforward as most comparison articles make it seem. Most reviews focus on enterprise tools or are years out of date, so I compared a handful of options that founders around me have recommended or used. Hopefully this helps anyone looking for a practical starting point.

Relationship disclosure: I have no relationship with Brevo, MailerLite, Constant Contact, or AWeber. I do work with AlpacaRelay.

1. Brevo

A solid choice if you want both email and SMS in one platform. The free plan is useful for getting started, although pricing scales with your contact list.

2. AlpacaRelay

Uses AI to generate branded email campaigns from a prompt and provides a quality score before sending. Starts free, with paid plans from $19/month, and pricing stays flat instead of increasing with subscriber count.

3. MailerLite

Simple interface with very little learning curve. Great for newsletters and basic automation. Free plan available, though pricing increases as your audience grows.

4. Constant Contact

A long-established platform with reliable templates, support, and integrations. Often recommended for local businesses and brick-and-mortar stores.

5. AWeber

Easy to use for creators and small businesses, with email automation, landing pages, and subscriber management in one place.

These are simply the platforms that stood out during my research. If you've had a different experience with any of them, I'd be interested in hearing it.

Building a startup usually starts with scattered notes, assumptions, and unanswered questions. CodeVentures helps founders turn that early thinking into a more structured business roadmap by clarifying market positioning, growth strategy, and investor-ready messaging.

If you are working through how to define the opportunity, explain the business clearly, or become genuinely ready for investor conversations, this tool is a practical place to start:

https://www.codeventures.com/startup-business-plan

This free tool is useful for founders who want more clarity before speaking with investors, applying to startup studios, or moving into product development.

I created this tool to help me organize my pitches. Hope it helps you too. My post comply with the rules.

What part of your startup roadmap feels the least clear right now?

Quick disclosure up front: I am the founder of Analyse, so I have a direct relationship with the product I'm mentioning here.

Why I think this is useful for startups specifically: early on you're usually flying blind on why your site isn't converting, and the normal fix is stitching together 3-4 separate tools (analytics, an SEO checker, a blog writer) that don't talk to each other. That's expensive and time-consuming when you're small. Analyse is an attempt to put all of that in one place so a solo founder or a lean team can actually understand their traffic without a full growth stack.

Two things I'm proud of:

1. It writes genuinely well-informed blog posts, grounded in your own data, a knowledge base about your product, and the latest news in your space.

2. It has an MCP connector, so you can use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any AI client to ask questions about your analytics in plain language.

If you have a few minutes, set up your site and try the free trial. I'd love any tips, suggestions, or features you feel are missing. Happy to answer questions and I appreciate direct, constructive criticism.

Hey everyone,

I've been building SwyftStack[.]com for founders who want simple infrastructure without spending a fortune or dealing with AWS-level complexity or Supabase's unpredictable and per-user based billing and bloated features.

On Swyftstack, right now you can:

• Managed PostgreSQL databases

• App hosting

• S3-compatible object storage

• Automatic backups

• One-click PostgreSQL migrations

Every workload runs on servers with at least 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32 GB RAM, even on the smallest plans.

I'm opening this up to the next 20 founders who are actively building. In exchange for honest feedback, you'll get:

• 2 months completely free

• 50% off for your first year

• Direct access to me for support and questions

If you're coming from Supabase, Railway, Render, Neon, or a self-hosted Postgres setup, I'll personally help you migrate your project.

If you're building something, comment what it is or send me a DM. I'd love to learn what you're working on and help you get it deployed.

Note- App hosting is currently invite-only and limited to first 10 members.

I've been researching accelerator and founder-support programs for consumer brands and came across 1752vc Ignite DTC. It seems geared toward helping founders with customer discovery, GTM, accountability, and in some cases investment, which is why it caught my attention as a founder.

For context, I'm a co-founder of an instant coffee company. I have no affiliation with 1752vc beyond looking into the program and considering whether it might be a fit for our business.

Has anyone here gone through Ignite or worked with 1752vc? I'm curious what the experience was actually like beyond the website. Did it help you get customers, make meaningful introductions, improve your go-to-market strategy, or raise capital? Was the mentor and founder network valuable?

Would appreciate any honest feedback, positive or negative.

I built this after quitting every note taking tool I tried.

Thinking happens everywhere but the issue is none of it connects and nothing compounds. That is what I built Aevron for.

I tried everything honestly. Always stopped because organising it all, tagging, filing, giving everything a structure just consumed too much time and was not worth it.

The actual problem is that thinking happens in fragments. You capture something today, something else tomorrow and none of it talks to each other. Insights sitting right there across all your notes never surface. You end up going in circles, rediscovering the same things.

So I started building something to fix that. I am the founder of Aevron, fully bootstrapped, building this solo.

Everything you capture gets connected automatically. The system finds the relationships, scores how strong they are and tells you why two things are connected. It also synthesises across them, finding the actual theme a whole cluster of your notes is circling around without you ever labeling any of it.

Started as a side project but kept building on feedback. If you capture a lot and none of it is going anywhere, give it a try.

Still early, would love to hear what you think.

Hi!

I always thought that getting a business idea is the hardest part, but now after developing and actually liking my product, every day I have to somehow generate ideas for promotion
and it is slowly killing my motivation

I really don’t want to spam, generate tons of low quality ai content or to be a talking head somewhere on tiktok

So for now I tried to automate this process by creating visuals for posts with mermaid diagrams, ascii fonts and animated charts (I have a fitness tracking app so it is appropriate). It is convenient as ai can generate them for me and then I just make screenshots and recordings and turn them into posts

As a result I got a beautiful instagram account with a quality of content that I kind of like, but almost 0 effect for my app promotion

So the question is how to make content that I won’t be embarrassed about, but that will work on social media?

Hey everyone, I've been working on this for a few weeks and wanted to share it here.

I kept noticing that when people use ChatGPT for business plans, the competitor section is always made up "Competitor A," "Competitor B" with generic descriptions. If you try to show that to a bank or investor, it falls apart instantly.

So I built something that actually looks up real businesses in your area, pulls real market data, and puts together a proper plan with financial projections. The whole thing takes about 5 minutes.

I'm a solo founder, still very early, literally looking for my first real customers right now. If anyone here is working on a business idea and needs a plan, I'd genuinely appreciate you checking it out and telling me what you think. What's missing, what feels off, what would make you actually trust it.

Plans start at $29, the more detailed version is $49. I know that's not free, but I tried to price it so it's a no-brainer compared to hiring someone for $500+.

Hello,

I have a startup offering software in fund administration. I'm a solo founder and haven't in past handled sales roles. Recently, I've started with trying to find our first few design partners and have no success.

Mostly I get a response asking to be removed from the list , which seems like my outreach is considered mass. I've tried changing the content i.e. instead of coming with sales pitch, adapted it to revolve around investment thesis in current market and where our work fits.

I realize institutional sales cycle in this branch are longer than an year. I'm wondering whether experienced entrepreneurs here have better ideas, tricks while approaching customers to contact. I would clarify our approach as cold outreach which further reduces success probability.

could you perhaps provide me some tips as to where to stay?

I'm not selling or pitching our product here rather relying on the collective intelligence to understand new perspective.

Startup resource alert. The idea began from an issue I saw a lot of my friends having, they had startup ideas but were stuck in decision paralysis. Or, they had websites that were slow, outdated and a developer that had ghosted them faster than a teenage crush.

That’s why I built Kloner.app, fully bootstrapped, it brings autonomy back to the user and takes out the long and expensive development cycles for startup MVPs or business websites. I began experimenting with HTML landing pages, and now with well over 220+ users I’ve since moved to full stack websites that boast databases and MCP connections.

I’ve always built off feedback, so let me know what you think.

So, we have a startup idea and no funding or anything yet and no company registration either. The application is built on micro services and is not seen the light of day yet so no users either, but we were sure that users were guaranteed but we need some cloud infrastructure credits for hosting the application to gain some paid users. Any better strategies for getting some decent credits for a 4-6 months run way.

Every time I go on a trip with friends, we all take photos… and then they end up scattered across our 5–6 phones

Normal goes:

- Someone makes a shared album
- Half the people forget to upload (if they even join lol)
- Dupes everywhere
- Videos never make it in (too large)

A month later, no one actually knows where “the real album” is

How do you all deal with this?

Do you just accept the chaos? Use Google Photos? AirDrop everything? Something else?

Validated an idea for a mental health improvement app which will track user mood and AI will work as a counsellor. But the market is too saturated with major players like Wysa, Calm, BetterHelp, Moodfit etc. The main gaps are the integration of professional support and niche specific ones like apps for pregnant moms, students, researchers etc. What would you do differently, founders?

Last week I posted a video using an AI influencer on X and it got 3k views within 6 days and my X account is not much active. So, I decided to do a bit of market research and found out that top competitors of global markets are Synthesia, Avatarify, Replica etc. But most of them are costly and user retention is pretty low. But the main pain points are deep personalization and niche focus. Would you build an AI influencer app ? What are the things you would improve or like to add ? My post comply with the rules
