ISO Technical Co-Founder i will not promote ISO Technical Co-founder for PropTech Startup Looking for a technical co-founder to join my early-stage PropTech SaaS idea. I am creating a platform with tools for organization and smart management, property manager support. The idea has multiple potential verticals both for B2C and B2B. Just a brief summary.

I will not promote. I am still building our MVP. But a potential user wants to use it right now. If you were me, what would you do? I have been developing an MVP for a certain app, and when I start promoting it for alpha testing, one of the customer on my other business noticed it and told me how she can use it right now. She even wants to pay for it. Now, I was transparent to her that it is still in infancy, and I am happy for her interest, plus some extra feedback on how she want it to be like. But I don't feel like taking money from her yet because I... 2 0 replies
I just raised $1.5M - I will not promote The purpose of this post is not meant to brag, but to seriously get some feedback, insight and advice. I’ve been working on a startup for a few years, have a co-founder, now a small team (8 employees). We bootstrapped to $250k in ARR and closed a round in 4Q24 that included a few VC funds and angels. We will likely grow to $1M or $2M in ARR over the next 12mo. So very early, still figuring things out, but for the most part I’m very grateful for things.... 4 0 replies
Find suggestions about my startup app. I will not promote this app. Hi everyone, I’m a full-stack engineer with 20 years of development experience, and I recently began developing products independently. I chose to build an iOS app for the App Store because: 1. The App Store’s user base is global, which means I can avoid dealing with payment issues across multiple countries. 2. Users on the App Store generally have a higher willingness to pay for quality content. Consequently, I developed an app primarily aimed at helping users improve their language expression skills. My target audience is: 1. Users in... 5 0 replies

I fucking suck at MVP development (I will not promote) Hello all! Sales professional here - not technical. I’m a big believer in sticking to your wheelhouse, and outsourcing when needed to increase efficiency. I’m in the early days of my startup, having a goal to stay as lean as possible creating the MVP; but I’m at the point where I’m wasting my time. Long story short, I’ve tried all the no code MVP developer apps; and I fucking suck at it. I have a very specific vision, with a bunch of automations, specific workflows, etc. What is the... 3 0 replies

Building a SaaS to Automate Telegram Group Monetization - I will not promote I’ve noticed a growing trend of people charging for access to private Telegram groups—some for premium content, trading signals, coaching, etc. But there’s no easy way to manage payments & access automatically. So, I’m building a SaaS that does just that: - Group owners list their private Telegram groups. - Users pay through a secure checkout. - The system automatically sends them an invite link after payment. I’m still validating the idea and would love to hear thoughts from anyone who runs a Telegram community (or has thought about... 2 0 replies
Recruiting (I will not promote) Job hunting sucks. Recruiting sucks. The whole process is just bad. I wanna get a group together—engineers, designers, recruiters, whoever—to actually do something about it. No corporate nonsense, just ideating and building something better.

Lmk if there’s any interest from folks for this. 1 0 replies
Networking and meet new people : IS IT WORTH IT please ? I will not promote I WILL NOT PROMOTE **How much have the people you've met helped you to succeed?** I'm thinking about whether I shouldn't try to force myself to meet as many people as possible in order to get a trigger, a business idea, partners, or whatever. Because when you are a stranger, people don't take you seriously or don't want to work with you, try ideas etc. **I'd like honest opinions please.** I know there are solo founders but didn't they have friends etc. to help them test the MVP, invest... 3 0 replies
My Husband Wants to Start a Startup in a Few Months –I'm pretty worried. What should I expect? I will not promote My husband and I recently got our green cards. He’s passionate about AI, infrastructure, & automation stuff and wants to start a startup in that space. When I ask him how he plans to do it, he doesn’t give me a concrete answer. His plan is to quit his job in July, speak to investors, and figure things out from there. He says he’s currently restricted from pursuing it due to work policies, which I believe is true—but I also feel like having a solid plan ahead of time... 1 0 replies
Just got my first SaaS customer and needed to share this small victory with someone! 🎉 (I will not promote) Hey everyone! I just needed to share this small win with people who might understand. After 6 months of working nights and weekends, I just got my first paying customer for my SaaS, and I'm literally shaking with excitement! Some context: I'm an AI Engineer at a tech company in Europe. During lunch with some colleagues from South America, I noticed they all shared the same struggle - landing tech jobs in Europe was a nightmare for them. LinkedIn was too noisy, and the language barrier made everything harder.... 4 0 replies
Not being valued and have unreal expectations. I will not promote I’ve been a Front-End Developer at this startup for two years, total YOE 3 and a half year. When I joined, there was nothing — no product. I built the entire web and mobile app from scratch, and I’ve busted my ass doing it. But over time, my growth has hit a wall. There's no senior leadership to learn from, and my manager/co-founder constantly comes up with ideas that are impossible to back. I’m putting in the work to make things clean, structured, and functional, yet none of that... 5 0 replies

How hard it is to get funding from investors if i didn't graduate from Ivy League, and didn't work for FAANG. (I WILL NOT PROMOTE) Like the title says I neither went to Ivy League nor worked at one of the FAANG's. My understanding is that investors would have a tough time looking past this. So, is there any chance that if i founded my own startup, I would be able to raise funds? Do you think I have a choice in other ways? 2 0 replies
Paying Engineers with Rev-Share (I will not promote) I’m about to start a new business as a design founder. Previously, I worked with an engineer on Upwork, and he’s now proposing a revenue-sharing arrangement for my upcoming venture. This looks attractive to me because paying his hourly rate would put a significant strain on my finances. However, a friend warned me that revenue sharing could become problematic once the business grows, since the engineer would always receive a portion of the revenue. Offering equity isn’t currently feasible because I plan to move to another country this year... 5 0 replies
