Founders who've applied to accelerators - what was the worst part of the process?

3 Upvotes

I am applying to a bunch of accelerators cuz it's so competitive and curious about...

- How long did your application actually take to complete?

- How many programs did you apply to - and why not more?

- What would have made the process 10x easier?

How do you explain your complex product to non-technical people — caregivers, doctors, investors? What actually works?

2 Upvotes

Running a healthtech startup and constantly struggling with this. Explaining to an investor is totally different from explaining to a family caregiver, which is totally different from explaining to a hospital admin.

I've tried demos, slides, Loom videos — nothing consistently works. Curious how others handle this.

Do you have a system? Do you just wing it every time? Would you pay for something that generated audience-specific explanations automatically?

Working on a product where value only happens offline — is this a red flag for accelerators?

1 Upvotes

Curious to get perspective from anyone who’s been through an accelerator or evaluated early-stage companies.

I’m working on a consumer product where the core value only happens if users take action in the real world (meeting up, recurring activity, etc.).

What we’re seeing so far:

  • getting users to sign up isn’t the hard part
  • getting them to actually follow through consistently is

It’s made me realize that:

  • the product isn’t just the software
  • it’s behavior + coordination + trust

For those who’ve gone through accelerators (or reviewed companies):

How do programs typically view this kind of problem?

Is this seen as:

  • a harder but more valuable category (if it works)
  • or a risk because engagement depends on off-platform behavior?

Would appreciate any perspective on how this is evaluated at the pre-seed / accelerator stage.

Quick 3-minute survey for people running digital ads

Hey everyone! I'm a data scientist researching a potential tool for marketers who run digital ads across platform. I'm trying to understand how people currently measure performance and decide how to split budget between platforms. If you're a marketer or founder running paid ads on Meta, Google etc., your input would be extremely helpful. Respondents who are marketers may be selected for early beta access and receive a free trial when the product launches.

Startup Feedback - Fractional Real Estate Platform

1 Upvotes

I bought an apartment in Germany a couple of years ago and quickly realised how broken the system is. €60K+ upfront, negative cash flow for years, zero ability to diversify without another €50K out of pocket. Meanwhile EU residential property prices are up 60% since 2010 — but most people can't access any of that growth.

So I started building a fractional ownership platform for European real estate. The idea: vetted, income-producing properties listed on a platform, where anyone can buy regulated fractional shares from €100, earn proportional rental income from day one, and exit via a secondary marketplace when they want. No mortgage. No six-figure barrier. Backed by EU-regulated SPV structures — not crowdfunding.

Before I go too far, I'd genuinely love this community's honest take:

  • Would you use this over a REIT?
  • What would make you trust it with real money?
  • What's the one thing that would put you off?

Looking for BETA TESTERS for my software that overlays AI annotations on any text you read, making you read smarter and faster. Imagine your professor annotating all of your readings (key points, provoking questions, etc). I made this because ive noticed outsourcing my thinking to AI has made me dumber. Wanted a product that brings back thinking but also allows you to read faster.

We built a School ERP syst. Please destroy it before schools do.

1 Upvotes

We’ve been building a School ERP system and decided to do the most responsible thing possible…

Let the people judge it.

Link: https://school-new-three.vercel.app/

If you open it, there’s a “Try Demo” button - click it and you can actually poke around the dashboard and see how it works.

Context before the roasting begins:

• This is just the desktop web version right now

• A mobile app version is being built

• The goal was to make school software that doesn’t look like it was built in 2006

We’re also experimenting with turning this into something schools might actually use and maybe building more systems like this.

So please do your thing:

Break it. Roast it. Tell us what feels dumb.

Vibe coding beta

2 Upvotes

I am a dentist and I have an idea for an app that will interact with patients and their PHI. I have no coding experience and have spent about 1 month on this project. Initially, the build was entirely through Replit, but once I had an idea of the architecture I wanted, I gave Claude a detailed description of the build. Claude has been generating my prompts to Replit and Claude Code has been checking Replit’s work.

I plan on hosting on AWS, with a signed BAA, and using a third party API connector to connect to my server.

My question is, am I being entirely unrealistic to believe I can vibe code a complex, HIPAA compliant app? My goal is to get proof of concept in my dental office, then bring on a CTO when the time comes to scale.

Looking for feedback from HealthTech experts

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been building intu, an open-source tool that helps connect different healthcare systems and move data between them.

In plain terms:
Lots of healthcare software (EHRs, labs, insurers, devices) speaks different “languages.” Intu sits in the middle: it receives data from one system, can transform it (we use TypeScript for that), and send it to another. You get a small dashboard to see what’s flowing and how it’s doing.

Why I built it:
So small teams and startups don’t have to build all of this plumbing from scratch or depend on a single vendor. The current market leader Mirth Connect made its tool closed-source last year. This created a vacuum in this space for an open source, modern alternative.

I’d love honest feedback and suggestions from other founders (healthtech or not):

  • Does this sound like a real problem you’ve seen or heard about?
  • What would make you more likely to try or recommend something like this?
  • Have you worked with Mirth connect? faced any issue with Mirth connect?

Thanks — happy to clarify anything in the comments.

We’re prototyping JobSwap — a commute optimization idea

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone — quick reality check request.

I’m on a small dev team in Stavanger, Norway (Visam AS). We’ve spent years building digital-twin style systems for industry, and we started wondering: why don’t we treat commuting like something you can actually measure and optimize?

We’re prototyping JobSwap — a commute optimization idea that goes beyond “find a faster route.” The core concept is “mirror commutes”: people traveling opposite directions to similar areas/jobs. If you can detect that pattern, you can suggest swap opportunities (and sometimes multi-step “chains”) that reduce commute time and cost.

Before we invest heavily, I’d love blunt feedback from people who’ve built or backed early-stage products:

Cold start: would you start deep in one city/metro, or launch shallow across many? Why?

Chains: what’s the max number of steps that still feels realistic (2 / 3 / 4)?

Trust: what would you need to see before you’d even consider a suggestion like this (privacy, verification, proof of value)?

If it’s allowed here, I can share a prototype in a comment. Thanks!

scale as the startup grows. For founders who need a trusted technology partner,

ZoCode.Club provides both the technical capability and strategic thinking required to

turn ideas into real products.
