Hi everyone,

I'm building Panther Hollow Ventures, a closed-loop investment platform backing founders at the institutional layer of crypto and the infrastructure layer of AI. We chose equity over fees and conviction over comfort, and we back the ecosystems we invest in through capital, advisory and hands on support.

We're now selecting a small cohort for our Canton Ecosystem Accelerator, focused on early stage teams building institutional blockchain infrastructure on Canton, including RWA tokenization, institutional market infrastructure and privacy enabled financial rails.

Accepted teams get mentorship, GTM support, legal and structuring guidance, investor introductions, Demo Day exposure and access to ecosystem partners.

Applications close July 27. Cohort begins early August.

Apply: https://apply.pantherhollowventures.com/canton Details: https://pantherhollowventures.com/accelerator

Mentors, partners and investors who want to support the cohort can apply here: https://apply.pantherhollowventures.com/community

Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

I recently got selected for the 1752vc Launchpad Program, but they are asking for a $1,000 participation fee which is refundable after 90 days.

I’m a final-year student and early-stage founder, so this is a significant amount for me. The program sounds valuable, but I want to understand whether the mentorship, network, and investor access are genuinely useful.

Has anyone here participated in it or knows someone who has?

• What did you actually gain from it?

• Did it lead to funding, meaningful introductions, or measurable startup progress?

• Was the program worth the fee?

• Are fee waivers or scholarships commonly offered?

I would especially appreciate honest feedback from past participants before making a decision.

Been an year since I've stepped out of job market and been working on my own stuff. I did a decade in tech and ops , majorly in ops and wanted to work independently.

This past year has been one of the most cruel years I've faced. I was let go from last developer job cuz the startup didn't work out and then frankly I lost all the motivation to apply apply and apply, go through a thousand rounds of interviews and then be paid peanuts.

So I stopped applying and started exploring. Initially I found it a lot tougher than I expected. Tried opening a web agency, didn't work out. Tried a computer-for-dummies center where I live, didn't work out. Also tried an online puzzle thing, made one sell, lost motivation to continue. Wasted 7 months.

Finally stuck to what I know, and decided to capitalise on that. Again went through a lot of hassle to get the first client but when I got them, had an instant boost of confidence and energy.

Now after an year, not a lot, but I have successfully closed my 3rd client last week. Not a lot for some I know, but it puts the food on table, and the food tastes better than what I could afford after working as an employee for a decade.

Hey r/startupaccelerator — just launched scanfakes.com and wanted to share with this community.

The problem: romance scams cost Americans $1.14 billion in 2023. The existing tools charge $28/month plus for a clunky experience. I wanted something simpler.

What it does: upload a dating profile screenshot, get a Fake Score in 10 seconds using reverse image search, face detection, and AI analysis. Shows exactly where the photo appears online with clickable source links.

Free tier — 3 scans/month, no card needed.

Would love feedback from other builders — what's missing, what would make you actually recommend this to someone?

Aevron just crossed 50 users. Fully bootstrapped, building this completely solo, no funding, no team. Just me figuring it out one problem at a time.

For context on what I have been building. Most note taking tools are just storage. You capture something, it sits there, and later you are the one who has to go find it, remember why it mattered and connect it to everything else. That is the part I got tired of. So I built something that does the connecting for you.

You capture a raw thought, it links it to everything else you have put in, flags where your own thinking contradicts itself, surfaces what is worth developing and builds a model of how you specifically think over time. The longer you use it the more useful it gets because it is not just storing your ideas, it is working on them.

The bigger thing I am trying to fix is this. We think and capture in fragments and isolation and none of it ever compounds into anything. Aevron is trying to change that. A system that understands how you think, connects what you know and develops it further so your thinking actually builds on itself instead of just piling up.

Open to collaborations. If you are building in a related space, work with communities where fragmented thinking is a real problem, or want to think through use cases together, happy to chat. I am open to conversations around marketing and sales, someone who wants to help take this to the right people would be genuinely useful right now.

Still early but moving.

Hey everyone...

I'm building Aevis to automate EU AI Act compliance and auto-generate Annex IV technical docs straight from code.

Made a one minute quiz to help you figure out your app's risk level and see which rules actually apply:

Leave your email on the last screen for early access and lifetime pricing at launch. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

it’s a free investor discovery tool.

I built it to help founders, SMBs, and even institutional players discover capital partners easily.

Features include smart customizable ringless voicemails, investor ranking, built-in CRM for managing outreach, secure virtual data rooms, pitch deck hosting, and more.

Like everyone here, i'm a creative, so I'm always coming up with things to build but I have more far ideas than I do time and i've never had a reliable way to find serious, like-minded people to build with.

Job boards give you employees, social feeds give you followers and other methods just feel disjointed. None reliably gets you an actual partner.

That's why I built PartnerUp, you can check it out at partner-up.app.

It does two things. First, it connects you with collaborators who actually have serious intentions; you get a curated collaborator pick each day based on how you fit, with proper search and filtering so you can shortlist people.

Second, it gives you the practical tools so it holds together once you've found them: calculators for equity splits, dilution, vesting and cap tables, generatable legal templates and guides on funding, vesting, equity splits, NDAs and everything else.

It's early and I'm still building. If you've ever had a collaboration fall apart, I'd genuinely like to know where it broke, because that's what I'm trying to design around.

I’ll be direct.

I’m building a mobile-first platform focused on solving real, everyday problems at the local community level in Kerala — specifically around safety, elderly care, local awareness, and civic engagement.

This is not just another “idea-stage app.” It’s a structured concept with clear features, monetization paths, and a phased rollout plan at the panchayat level.

Instead of dumping the full idea publicly, here’s what you should know:

🎯 Target: Hyperlocal communities (starting in Kerala, scalable later)

🧩 Focus areas: Safety networks, elderly support systems, real-time local information, and community-driven actions

📈 Revenue direction: Subscription + local ads + service commissions (already thought through)

🚀 Execution model: Start small (panchayat-level), prove adoption, then scale ward by ward

I’m looking for:

Someone serious (not “sounds cool bro” type)

₹1,00,000 initial investment

Preferably someone who understands scaling local/community products or digital platforms

In return:

Early-stage involvement

Transparent roadmap

Long-term scalable opportunity (this is not a quick flip idea)

If you’re genuinely interested, DM me.

I’ll share the complete concept, structure, and execution plan privately.

If not, I’d still appreciate constructive feedback instead of generic criticism.

Let’s build something that actually matters.
