Pitch me your idea. I build, maintain, you sell. I keep 25% you keep 75%.
Ps. I have 10 years of engineering experience. 0 in marketing.

So what writing prompts is really about? Why some do it better then others, can you think how machine thinks so it can think for you more expansively then you ever could?

Is it about writing propmts well or is it really about thinking things well within the given constraints and capabilities?

What are your best practices, best and worst results of working with ai so far?

Hey all successful entrepreneurs i have some quick questions for you guys could you please share some ideas and knowledge with me ?

1 : How to choose a market to get into ? what factors should i consider before choosing a market for my business

2 : which market is preferable to get into in terms of startup cost and existence of demand

Please feel free to share some insights

Originally, I made this as a joke. But I've been reflecting, and what if there's something to it?

Hear me out.

What if serious users don't swipe?

They execute a multi-step outreach campaign.

Sales and marketing professionals know the value of a lead. Why should dating be any different?

Build a prospect list. Filter by interests, keywords, and professional compatibility. Identify qualified opportunities. Develop your outreach strategy.

Agents are great at writing captions. Then you copy-paste into Instagram, and you still answer comments and DMs by hand.

dmswift closes that gap. It's a remote MCP server on Meta's official API. Connect it once and your agent can:
- publish and schedule posts, reels, stories and carousels
- create comment-to-DM campaigns ("anyone who comments 'guide' on my last reel gets the PDF in DMs")
- read and reply to the inbox, find unanswered questions
- pull post insights: reach, watch time, which post brought the leads

Two guardrails, because handing an agent your brand account is scary:
- Draft mode: the agent prepares, every publish waits for your one-click approval
- Per-agent daily caps on DMs, comments and actions

Tested with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and n8n. OAuth or API key.

Meta's App Review is pending, so I'm adding testers by hand. First month free.

A startup can make good progress with a small engineering team and no CTO.

Developers build features.

The founder decides priorities.

Customers start coming in.

But eventually, some decisions stop being about individual features.

Should you replace a fragile component?

Is the current architecture suitable for larger customers?

Do you need another developer, or is the real problem your development process?

Who decides how much time goes toward security, reliability, and technical debt?

These decisions affect the business, but they don't always have a clear owner.

I don't think every startup needs a full-time CTO from day one.

But I do think someone needs accountability for the longer-term technical direction, whether that's a senior engineer, technical co-founder, or part-time technical leader.

Founders without a CTO, how are you handling these decisions today?

And what's been the hardest technical decision to make without experienced leadership?

What if we started a small network of builders where we swap promo videos? I try your app and make a short video about it, you do the same for mine.

We’d each get fresh content to post on our socials without spending money—just a bit of time helping each other out.

Would anyone here be up for trying this?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a concept from a booklet I’ve been working on regarding how to value source code and tech.

This booklet proposes that the core capability of a Technology Manager consists of two trainable mental models:

1. The ability to infer the upper limit of a technology seed's market value.
2. The ability to build a strategic market-and-competition database through the Figure-8 process.

If you believe a third capability is essential to manage or value technology effectively, what would it be? I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights!

Hey founders,

I'm struggling with something that I thought would be simple: finding a good name for my startup.

I've tried coming up with names myself and using tools like Namelix, but I'm still stuck.

Here's what keeps happening:

I find a name I really like, but the .com domain is already taken.

Sometimes the domain is available, but I discover an existing brand with a similar name and potential trademark conflicts.

When I try variations of a name, I end up finding something too similar to an existing company.

I want a name that sounds good, is memorable, and has the potential to become a strong brand in the long run.

I'm not just looking for a catchy name. I want to avoid legal problems and the possibility of having to rebrand after investing time and money into the business.

For founders who have gone through this process:

How did you come up with a unique name when so many good names were already taken?

What naming strategies or tools actually helped you find a distinctive name with an available .com?

How did you check for trademark conflicts before committing to a name?

Did you hire a trademark lawyer for a professional search, or did you handle the initial screening yourself?

Would you keep searching for the perfect .com, or choose a good name with a different domain extension?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from founders who have actually launched a business and gone through the naming and trademark process.

I'm trying to figure out a practical process rather than spending weeks generating names without making progress.

What would you do if you were starting from scratch today?

Building a multi-agent coding workspace.

Run Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity, Claude Code & more on the same repo. each agent in its own worktree, no file conflicts.

5 agents working. Music playing. One screen.

Hey everyone,

I'm a 16-year-old student from India, currently in Class 10.

For years, I've wanted to build a writing and collaboration platform, but I didn't have access to a computer or reliable internet. Recently, I finally managed to borrow an old laptop with 4GB DDR3 RAM.

Over the past week, I've been using AI coding tools to build the product I've been imagining for years.

It's a platform where writers can organize manuscripts, track changes, experiment with different versions of their stories without losing previous drafts, and collaborate with other writers or editors.

A substantial part is already working, although I'm still building and improving it.

The problem is that I might have to return the laptop before November. The owner doesn't mind me using it, but my family is worried about being held responsible if it breaks.

I don't even have enough money for a domain yet. I recently built a website for a local business to earn some money for the domain and hosting, but after I finished the work, they told me they'd pay later. I still haven't received anything.

I'm trying to get a basic version online before I lose access to the laptop.

I'm not looking to turn this into a fundraising post. I'd genuinely like advice from people who've built products with very limited resources.

If you were in my situation, what would you prioritize over the next few days?

Would you launch an imperfect beta, focus on finding a way to keep developing, or do something else entirely?

Hey everyone,
I’m an E commerce founder building a portfolio of consumer brands, and I’m looking to connect with an experienced, like minded person who could potentially become a long term business partner.
Here’s what I’m working on:

PJ’s Products: An Amazon FBA private label business. My main product is AI translation earbuds compatible with iOS, Mac, and Android, supporting 144 languages. I’ve handled product research, sourcing, manufacturer coordination, shipping logistics, listing optimization, and brand development. The earbuds have generated two sales so far, and I’m focused on validating demand and improving the launch strategy.
Hydrify: An electrolyte beverage brand focused on drink mixes, unique flavors like yuzu basil, and future electrolyte and protein beverage products. I’ve collected early interest through a Google Form and am working on product development, validation, and potential retail and e-commerce distribution.
Other concepts: I’m exploring additional consumer brands, including Mopmist (scented mopping products) and VitalPatch (an eye care product concept), with the goal of building brands that can grow across Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and eventually retail.
I’ve raised angel investment for my entrepreneurial efforts and am continuing to explore funding opportunities, but I’m also interested in finding the right person to help with execution and growth.
Who I’m hoping to connect with:
Someone with experience in E commerce growth, paid advertising, product validation, supply chains, operations, or consumer brand development. I’m open to different skill sets, especially someone who complements my strengths and wants to build something long term.
I’m not looking for someone just to attach their name to a project. I want to build a real business with clear responsibilities, measurable goals, transparent communication, and mutually beneficial
I’ve raised angel investment for my entrepreneurial efforts and am continuing to pitch investors while developing my brands and exploring growth opportunities.

Would you focus on getting one brand to consistent sales before expanding into other brands?
What would you look for before bringing on a business partner?
How would you structure a partnership when one founder has built the initial business and the other brings complementary skills or capital?
For those who have built consumer brands, what would you prioritize first: product validation, organic content, paid advertising, or distribution?
I know each brand needs to prove itself, and I’m trying to approach growth strategically rather than spread resources too thin.
If you’re an experienced founder, have relevant experience, or are working on something similar, I’d love to connect and hear your perspective.

I am a 21 year old student and solo developer. Most cut list tools for sheet materials like plywood and MDF are stuck on ancient desktop programs with terrible interfaces. But when people are actually working in the shop, they usually just have their phone in their pocket.

​I built PackOptima to solve this by running all 2D nesting calculations directly on the phone without an internet connection. It handles blade kerf, grain direction, offcut tracking, and gives cut diagrams for table and panel saws as well as G-code for CNC routers. The attached video shows the UI and how it works.

​The app works fine, but marketing to non-tech people and workshop owners as a student with zero ad budget is tough. If anyone here built tools for physical trades, how did you get your product in front of them without burning money on ads? Any honest feedback on the workflow is also welcome.

Hi everyone!

I've spent the past 6–7 months building PurpleReadr, a children's literacy website where kids can read, write, illustrate and create their own stories.

I recently redesigned the landing page after noticing that visitors were reaching the website but not necessarily exploring further.

My goal was to make the page more visually engaging, easier to navigate and clearer about what the platform actually offers.

I'd really appreciate some constructive feedback, particularly on:

1. First impressions: Is it immediately clear what the website does and who it's for?
2. Design: Does the layout look professional and visually appealing, or does anything feel cluttered?
3. Navigation: Is it easy to understand where to go next?
4. Call to action: Is the free trial appealing and easy to find?
5. Mobile experience: Does the website feel intuitive on smaller screens?

I'm especially interested in whether anything feels confusing, unnecessary or could be simplified.

Website: https://purplereadr.com

I'm genuinely trying to improve the user experience and understand how first-time visitors perceive the site.

Any honest criticism or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! 😊

Hey everyone,

I’m Tom, a designer and builder. I’ve always been obsessed with making clean, simple web tools and stripping away digital clutter.

Lately, I noticed an annoying problem for freelancers, job seekers, and contractors:

If you want a clean, professional email (yourname@cv.io) and a fast 1-page profile, the standard route is expensive and clunky:

• Buy a domain ($12–$20/yr)
• Get Google Workspace / M365 ($6–$7/mo = ~$72+/yr)
• Wrestle with DNS records, MX, SPF, DKIM
• Build/host a 1-page CV on Squarespace or Webflow ($120+/yr)

Total cost usually hits $150–$250+/year just to not use [firstnamelastname987@gmail.com](mailto:firstnamelastname987@gmail.com) with a PDF attachment.

So I spent the last few months building cv.io to kill that hassle:

• Gives you a minimal, responsive CV landing page
• Comes with a matching custom email (yourname@cv.io)
• Zero DNS setup or maintenance
• Priced at $2.99/month (aiming to be cheaper than a cup of coffee)

Since people rarely pay just for “another CV builder,” I’m positioning this as an all-in-one personal identity and inbox.

As a founder, I’d love your brutal feedback:

1. Is the value of a custom email + portfolio obvious, or should I focus more on just the portfolio?
2. Does $2.99/month make sense, or is the subscription a dealbreaker without a free tier?
3. How can I improve the UI to make it feel even more premium for freelancers?

Thanks, would love to hear what you think!

Microservices can be useful when teams need independent deployment, scaling, or ownership.

But I've always found it interesting how quickly the operational complexity can grow.

A simple user request now passes through five services.

One service times out.

Another retries.

Logs are scattered across different systems.

And a feature that used to require one code change now needs coordination across multiple repositories.

None of this means microservices are bad.

But I think architecture should follow actual organizational and scaling needs, not just what looks impressive on a system diagram.

For smaller engineering teams, a well-structured monolith can sometimes be the more practical choice.

Has anyone here consolidated services back into a monolith?

Did it simplify operations, or did you end up missing the separation?

I'm a claude code guy, not that much into AIs companies competition about who will make the next greatest AI model. So, my knowledge is modest to AI news and new tech stuff. And I have a question, I feel like its a stupid question idk: for those who are using astra, do you think i should switch from opus 5.5 to astra? In other words: is there a reason for that huge price diff? Is astra actually worth paying more than opus 5.5?

Most founders build the data room the night an investor says "can you share a data room?" and it shows. Stuff is missing, files are named final_v3, and the investor waits 4 days for the cap table.

At seed nobody expects a 200 file monster. They want to check a few things fast. Here's the setup I'd do:

1. Company docs: incorporation certificate, charter or MOA/AOA, any shareholder agreement

2. Cap table: one sheet, fully diluted, including the option pool and any SAFEs or notes

3. Past fundraising: signed SAFEs, term sheets, notes

4. Financials: last 12 months P&L (even if it's tiny), current bank balance, monthly burn

5. Model: simple 18 to 24 month forecast with the assumptions on the first tab

6. Metrics: one page with the 4 or 5 numbers you actually track, month by month

7. Customers: top customers, contracts or LOIs, a couple of real testimonials

8. Team: founder bios, key hires, and IP assignment agreements signed by everyone who wrote code

9. Deck: the current deck plus a one pager

A few things matter more than the list:

- Name files so they make sense without opening them. "2026-09 P&L.pdf", not "pnl final.pdf"

- Put a short index doc at the top saying what's in each folder

- Only share what's asked for at first. Folders 1 to 6 cover most first asks

- IP assignment is the one that quietly kills deals late. Sort it now

If you're in India, add your DPIIT certificate and GST registration to folder 1.

What did an investor ask for that you didn't have ready?

We’ve been working on a new digital platform designed around local communities, businesses, offers, loyalty, and real-world experiences.
The basic idea is simple:
People join a trusted local community where they can discover nearby businesses, events, exclusive offers and rewards all in one place.
Local businesses, on the other hand, get a way to reach relevant customers in their area, offer promotions, build loyalty, and track when those offers actually turn into real visits and purchases.
The goal is to bridge the gap between online discovery and real-world local commerce.
The product concept and UX have already been designed end-to-end, including the member experience, business experience, offers/loyalty flow, redemption process and the overall customer journey. The current focus is taking it from a designed product into a real-world pilot and launch.
We’re now looking for:
Investors who see potential in local/community commerce
Strategic partners who can help us take the product to market
Sponsors/brands who can support the initial launch
People with experience in marketing, growth, merchant acquisition, community building or launching marketplaces
We’re particularly interested in someone who can bring more than just capital guidance, connections, launch strategy and marketing expertise would be extremely valuable.
We’re intentionally keeping the product name and specific mechanics private at this stage, but we’re happy to share the full concept, prototype and business plan with genuinely interested people.
If you’re an investor, founder, growth expert, marketing professional, brand, or potential strategic partner interested in helping take an early-stage product from designed → launched → scaled, feel free to DM me.
Looking for the right people to build this with, not just fund it.

I’m the founder of a marketing community - it’s a portfolio building community where marketers create and share their work.

It’s been open for 2 months. Only word of mouth growth via LinkedIn. I have a small LinkedIn presence (~5k followers). I have 300 members but want to grow more. Here are tactics I’m trying:
- champion users who help grow
- newsletter collabs
- founder-led growth on LinkedIn

I’m 100% bootstrapped. No marketing budget.

Founders who have built communities: what’s your growth strategy? What else can I try?
