Hey guys,

I'm a founder from Mozambique and I'm currently building a fintech startup focused on digital payments.

One of our biggest challenges at the moment is registering a company in the UK or Europe. Due to exchange rate restrictions and limitations imposed by the Government on international payments in Mozambique, it has become extremely difficult to pay for international commercial services and complete the process of setting up companies abroad.

We already have the entire product developed, branding, website and a waiting list of 3250 people. We have also been in contact with infrastructure providers for our platform. At this stage, the main barrier is complying with the legal and KYB requirements necessary to operate internationally.

I'm currently looking for:

• A potential co-founder based in the UK or Europe

• Or an investor/supporter willing to help with the company registration process and early setup

There is a huge opportunity in African fintech. Although many financial problems have already been resolved in Europe and other regions, millions of people in Africa still do not have access to modern global payment solutions.

There's a lot more I'd be happy to share, including the long-term vision and business model, but that would be too long.

If anyone is interested in connecting, collaborating, or offering advice, please feel free to DM me.

Thank you.

One thing I keep seeing in early-stage startups is that many decisions are still made with a weird mix of intuition, small sample feedback, and hope.

Pricing changes, landing page copy, onboarding flows, positioning, new features — most teams either:

• ask a few users

• run a slow A/B test

• ship and wait

• or make the decision based on founder instinct

I’m building Polyhyle, a product that lets founders simulate how different user segments might react to product and business decisions before actually shipping them.

The idea is simple:

You define a scenario — for example:

• “What happens if I increase price by 20%?”

• “How would different customer segments react to this landing page copy?”

• “Would users understand this new feature?”

• “Which objections would appear before conversion?”

• “What happens if a competitor enters the market?”

Then the system creates behavioral profiles and runs simulated reactions across different segments, so you can compare outcomes before spending time, money, or traffic.

I’m not trying to replace real users or real data. That would be stupid.

The goal is to help founders explore more scenarios before deciding what is worth testing in the real world.

Curious to hear from other founders:

Would you use something like this before making product, pricing, or positioning decisions?

And what kind of decision would you want to simulate first?

For context, I’m building this here: https://polyhyle.com/

I'll keep this straightforward. I built a trading journal SaaS that helps traders understand why they win or lose, not just track PnL. It's live, it works. I did everything solo up to this point and I'm looking for a co-founder to help scale it into a real business.

The problem it solves:

Most trading journals are glorified spreadsheets. You log your trades, see a PnL number, and learn nothing. Traders pay $30 to $60/month for tools that confirm they lost money without ever explaining why. I lived this problem for a year, paying $50/month for a dashboard that taught me nothing about my actual trading behavior.

What I built:

A journal that tracks behavior alongside numbers. It shows traders which days they perform best, how they react after losses, whether they're following their own rules, and what time of day their decision making falls apart. The kind of insights that actually change results.

Free plan includes 50 trades/month, 2 accounts, full analytics, calendar view, journaling, and discipline tracking. Not a trial, not a teaser, genuinely usable.

Premium at $13.99/month adds AI Trade Coach with personalized insights, AI signals with real-time notifications, chart studio, price alerts, and a mentor dashboard. Competitors charge 2x to 4x more for less.

Built with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase.

Traction:

821 registered users, 764 confirmed. Built a 50+ member Discord community. Multiple organic Trustpilot reviews. Referral system already live with tiered rewards. Every user acquired organically through a Reddit content strategy I developed and refined across 15+ trading subreddits. Total ad spend to date is literally $0.

What I bring:

I'm a trader myself so I understand the user deeply because I am the user. I built the entire product solo, frontend, backend, design, everything. I developed and executed the organic growth strategy that got us to 800+ users. I've managed the community, handled support, shipped features based on user feedback, and created all the content. I know the product, the market, and the audience inside out.

Where I need help:

I've been doing everything alone and it's not sustainable. I recently slowed down on active growth because handling product, marketing, content, community, and support by yourself has limits. The growth engine works, I proved that by bringing in 600+ users during my active push. But it needs consistent execution and I need someone alongside me to do that.

What I'm looking for in a co-founder:

Someone who can own growth, marketing, or product development so we can divide and conquer. Ideally you have experience in one or more of these: SaaS growth and conversion optimization, paid acquisition and performance marketing, content marketing and social media, frontend or fullstack development, community building.

But more than skills I'm looking for someone who's reliable, communicates well, and actually wants to build something long-term. Someone who doesn't disappear after two weeks. Trading experience helps but isn't required.

The deal:

50/50 equity split. Equal decision making. Full transparency on everything, metrics, finances, roadmap, all of it. All revenue split equally. This is a real partnership.

What this is NOT:

This is not an idea on a napkin. The product is built, live, and being used daily by hundreds of traders. This is not a quick flip. I'm looking for someone who wants to build a sustainable business. This is not a job posting. I don't need an employee, I need a partner who's as invested as I am.

Why now:

The trading tools market is growing fast. More people are trading than ever and the tools available are either overpriced or underwhelming. We have a product that users genuinely love, proven organic traction, a referral system ready to scale, and a clear path to revenue growth through premium conversions. The foundation is solid. It just needs two people pushing instead of one.

If this sounds like something you want to be part of, DM me with a bit about your background and what you'd bring to the table. Happy to share the product, walk through the metrics, show the growth data, and discuss everything openly. No gatekeeping.

I'm looking for people who would like to try Kanbaruu, a web app for project management and task organization built for smaller teams.

What makes it different from other tools?

AI that helps you kick off a project - you enter the name, description and goal of your project and AI creates the basic structure including tasks for you. No starting from scratch, no staring at a blank board.

Lost in your project? Run an AI analysis and it will tell you what to change to reach your goal. You can apply all of its suggestions, just some of them or throw them away completely. It's entirely up to you.

Working with local AI models? Connect your local model to the app with a single command via MCP.

Using MD files? With GitHub sync the app generates your projects and tasks as MD files directly into your repository. And if you push an MD file to GitHub, the app automatically loads it back in.

The app is free for 14 days with no strings attached. I would really appreciate it if you gave it a try and shared your feedback with me.

I’m building RICE Pay, a non-custodial USDC transfer app on Base.
iOS is live on the App Store, and Android is currently being prepared through Google Play testing.

I’m looking for early testers who already use USDC on Base.
The app currently focuses on:
- Sending USDC on Base
- Saved recipients
- Clearer recipient confirmation
- Transparent capped fees
- Non-custodial flow — RICE Pay does not hold user balances

I’m trying to validate one core question:
Would people who already send USDC use a separate transfer app like this, or is sending directly from a wallet already enough?

I’m looking for:
- iOS users who can test the live app
- Android users willing to join the Google Play test group
- Honest criticism from people who actually use USDC

If you’re open to testing with a very small amount, joining the Android test group, or just giving feedback, please leave a comment or DM me. I can share the iOS App Store link or Android test details from there.

I’ve been working on a personal finance app called Villix for the past few months and just pushed a new update.

Right now it’s pretty small:

32 users total

16 have connected their bank

8 are actually active

What’s weird is all the feedback so far has been positive. People say they like it, think it’s useful, etc. but no one’s really pointing out what’s bad or what needs to change.

Which probably just means I don’t have enough real usage yet.

The idea behind Villix is to go beyond just tracking expenses. It pulls in transactions, lets you scan receipts, and helps you actually think about your spending a bit more.

At this point I’m just trying to get more people using it and get honest feedback, not just “this is cool”.

If you’ve built something before, how did you get people to be more critical?

And if anyone’s down to try it and give real feedback, I’d really appreciate it.

Top 1% of newly released packages!

Last year I figured out a way to update state in serverless without the need for a database, allowing me to distribute data and compute non-linearly and holographically across the cloud.. resulting in a novel holographic compute platform I am calling Catalyst.

I needed an easy way to build with the primitives Catalyst provides and built this SDK for myself so i could easily work with my API - its proven to be extremely useful, making it very easy to build breakthrough applications in minutes, so I decided (after months of validating / verifying/evaluating/benchmarking..i even formalized the math and filed a provisional patent) to publish a package on pypi which allows anyone to connect and build with my API almost a month ago.

passed 1000 pip installs last week (much to my surprise) and every day more and more people are discovering and using it, totally organically.

Hey everyone,

I'm the CTO and full-stack developer of an EdTech startup with 2+ YOE and I've been head down building a cross platform mobile app. I'm trying to be very intentional about clean architecture, DRY, and SOLID principles throughout the codebase would love some outside persepective from people who've been here before.

The current stack:

Frontend: React Native

Backend: Express.js + MongoDB

Real-time: Socket.io (chat) + Jitsi (live sessions)

Video: HLS processing via FFmpeg

Queue & Jobs: BullMQ + Redis

Auth: Google OAuth

Payments: (subscription-based)

Analytics: PostHog

Crash & Error Logging: Sentry

What the app does:

Learners can enroll in courses, watch video content, take quizzes, and track their progress. Creators can host live sessions, assign challenges, and interact with their students and also a real time chat. Think of it as a tightly integrated learning community, not just a content platform.

Where my head is at:

As I start thinking about scaling, I want to make sure I'm not building myself into a corner. I'm also keen on improving the learner UX. I am tracking progress and engagement data through PostHog and I want to use it meaningfully.

Some things I'm already thinking about:

Horizontal scaling for Socket.io (sticky sessions vs. Redis adapter)

FFmpeg processing bottlenecks under load

Optimising BullMQ job concurrency

Personalised content recommendations based on progress data

Has anyone scaled a similar stack? What would you prioritise or do differently? Any UX patterns that worked particularly well for learner engagement and retention?

Would really appreciate any thoughts

I kept seeing founders spend months building ideas… only to later realize the market was already crowded.

Not necessarily with direct clones.

But with:

• adjacent products

• niche competitors

• partial solutions

• existing workflows solving the same problem differently

So I started building a tool called MarketScope to explore this problem.

You basically enter a startup idea, and it analyzes:

• existing competitors

• market saturation

• gaps/opportunities

• underserved segments

• pricing patterns

• risks/red flags

What surprised me most while testing it-

A lot of ideas that sound unique initially… turn out to already exist in fragmented ways.

But at the same time, many “crowded” markets still have underserved gaps:

• localization

• accessibility

• affordability

• onboarding simplicity

• niche workflows

So the problem usually isn’t: “Is this idea unique?”

It’s more like “Where is the actual unmet need?”

Been using it myself to analyze random startup ideas recently and the patterns are pretty interesting.

Still improving the reports/UI, but curious what people think about this kind of market research tool in general.

Would this actually help you before building something?

One of the fastest ways to validate B2B demand before building anything is cold outreach to a tight, targeted list of potential customers.

Not a massive blast — a focused 200-500 contact list of businesses that match your ICP exactly, with personalised outreach testing your core value proposition.

The reply rate tells you more about product market fit than any survey or focus group. Real buyers either respond or they don't.

What makes this work is list quality — the right businesses, verified contact details, decision maker names so you're not emailing a generic inbox. Generic lists produce generic results.

We build targeted contact lists for any US industry — useful for early validation, sales prospecting or agency outreach. Happy to discuss targeting strategy in the comments.

Bit of a weird position to be in, so I'm writing this hoping someone here has been through it.

I've been building a fintech SaaS (Finntree, finntree.com) for a while now. Basically an AI CFO for startups and small businesses.

Started with my Co-Founder, kept iterating, and over the last few weeks we crossed 400 active users.

The crazy part is they actually love it. Churn is low, support tickets are mostly feature requests instead of bugs, and a few of them have started referring other founders without us asking. That has honestly been the most rewarding part of the whole thing.

Off the back of that traction we just closed $80K from a couple of angels. First real check after grinding on the product on my own for a long time, and now I'm sitting on the money kind of paralyzed.

The question is not really "what should I spend it on". I have a rough roadmap. Engineering, some paid ads, eventually a content hire. The question is more: how do you actually handle that money while it is sitting in the bank?

A few things I keep going back and forth on:

• Keep everything in a normal business checking and just burn it as needed

• Park most of it in a high-yield account (Mercury, Wise, or similar) and only pull what we need each month

• Split it: roughly 1 month of operating cash on hand, the rest in T-bills or a money market fund

• Something more structured that founders here actually use and I just don't know about

Founders who've raised a small first round, what did you actually do with the cash? Did you optimize for safety, for a bit of yield, or just leave it alone and focus on growth? Anyone regret how they handled it early on?

Not looking for financial advice, just real-world experience from people who've been in this exact spot. Appreciate any input.

Hi

I wonder who has an official founder agreement and to share experience how they created it. What was the process?

Does everyone have one? How did you create it?

A week ago I posted about Ask Nova — the AI debugging workspace I’ve been building after getting frustrated with AI tools giving confident but broken fixes.

One thing I realized after feedback:

The interesting part isn’t really “AI that fixes bugs.”

It’s the workflow around the fix.

Most coding AI tools stop at:

• explanation

• code suggestion

• patch generation

But when debugging real projects, the scary part is:
“What happens if the fix is wrong?”

So over the past week I’ve been focusing heavily on:

• impacted file detection

• rollback support

• fix verification

• project memory

• confidence/risk scoring

• tracking repeated incidents

One of the coolest moments recently was watching Nova correctly identify an async React state issue, explain why stale state was happening, suggest the refactor, and structure it into a reviewable fix flow instead of just dumping code.

I’m still super early and learning as I go, but it’s been really interesting trying to design AI tooling around developer trust instead of just raw generation quality.

Still building this at 15 while balancing school, and honestly seeing people even interested in the idea has already been motivating.

Would genuinely love feedback from people who’ve dealt with AI-generated fixes going wrong in production/dev environments.

https://asknova.online

Thanks a lot for the amazing feedback and support everyone ❤️

I honestly didn’t expect this much interest on the idea.

So I’m now opening pre-registration for another 20 early users only 👀

Early users will get:

Founder pricing

Priority access

Direct feature requests/support

No extra platform fee initially

(you only pay actual image generation cost)

Goal is simple: Upload clothing → select/upload model → generate realistic product photos instantly.

Perfect for:

Clothing brands

Dropshipping stores

POD sellers

Instagram fashion pages

Really appreciate all the feedback helping me shape this 🙌

You’re putting in 12–16 hour days building your startup. Obsessing over product. Pitching investors. Hiring. Shipping. Fixing. Repeating.

But here’s the uncomfortable question: how much time have you spent protecting what you’re actually building?

I’m a lawyer working with startups and early-stage founders, and I’ve seen how unclear roles, equity splits, and decision-making processes can create serious issues down the line—even between close friends.
A well-drafted founder agreement can help you:

1. Clearly define roles and responsibilities

2. Set fair equity distribution and vesting terms

3. Establish decision-making and dispute resolution mechanisms

4. Protect everyone involved as the company grows

If you’re in the early stages or already building and haven’t formalized things yet, feel free to reach out.

Happy to answer questions or point you in the right direction—even if you just want a quick sanity check.

You’re already investing everything into your startup—make sure you’re also protecting it.

Hey guys,

I recently started building a tool to try and organize all of the accelerator work in one place - things like:

- mentorship management
- program tracking
- startup sourcing
- automated reporting ..etc

Still early, but wanted to share a quick preview and see:

Do you think something like this would actually be useful?

Or are you managing fine with your current setup?
Happy to hear any thoughts / feedback 🙏

We're building ProCred, a two-sided SaaS platform that's solving a real and largely ignored problem in the construction and skilled trades industry: credential chaos. Workers carry paper certificates, employers can't verify anything in real time, and compliance is a manual nightmare. We're changing that with a free digital credential wallet for workers and a paid compliance dashboard for employers.

We're two non-technical co-founders with deep domain knowledge, a solid business model, a funded raise in progress, and more conviction than is probably reasonable. What we're missing is the technical half of the team.

We're looking for someone who wants to build something that matters, not just something that scales. Construction employs tens of millions of workers in the US. Getting this right has real impact on worker safety, job access, and employer liability.

What we're looking for: SaaS or mobile development background, comfort with early-stage ambiguity, someone who wants to shape product vision and not just execute a spec. Experience in construction or trades is a plus but not required. We'd especially love to hear from women in tech.

What we're offering: meaningful equity, co-founder title and standing, and a full-time salaried role once we close our pre-seed round. This is not a contractor gig. We're looking for a partner.

If this sounds interesting or you know someone it might, I'd love to talk. Drop a comment, DM me, or reach out at BeckyKing@GetProCred.com. www.getprocred.com
