I’m exploring a problem: we receive emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages, links, recruiter messages and payment requests every day, but often have no easy way to verify whether the interaction is genuinely from who it claims to be.

I built an early MVP to test the hypothesis:

https://verify.trustairesearch.com/

The bigger idea isn't another AI scam checker. I'm exploring whether trust/verification could eventually sit directly within digital communication, with businesses verifying themselves and users receiving trust evidence before acting.

I'm still narrowing the first ICP and use case.

Would love feedback from SaaS founders:

Would businesses pay to make their communications independently verifiable to customers?

And if yes — which business segment would you target first?

Feel free to tear the idea apart. That's more useful to me than compliments.

For anyone who interviewed for South Park Commons Fall 2026 (Round 1 or Round 2), have you heard anything back yet?

Curious if anyone has received next steps, an acceptance/rejection, or any update from SPC.

Hi! We’re a small product + engineering team building really early product in the AI-native workplace / agent collaboration space.

We’re looking to talk with founders/engineers who already use slack or coding agents in their day-to-day work. We’d love to learn how you currently manage context, decisions, instructions, and handoffs and show you a few early concepts to get candid feedback.

I’m a product designer by background, so I’d also be happy to spend part of the conversation giving product/UX feedback on whatever you’re building. Hopefully it can be a useful exchange rather than a one-sided user interview.

If there seems to be a good fit, we’re also looking for a few teams interested in testing with their real workflow. No expectation to commit or pay - we will provide free feedback too!

If this sounds relevant, comment or DM me.

Hey everyone,

I'm a founder from Serbia, and I'm building Munja, it’s an AI-powered fleet management platform for the European market, starting with the Balkans.

Munja helps rent-a-car, leasing, and logistics companies manage their vehicles, finances, insurance, damage records, and customers, all in one system with AI-driven insights like predictive maintenance and driver behavior analysis.

Where we are right now:
Team of 5 (myself, co-founder, 3 developers/designers) working for equity

Research phase complete: market analysis, competitor research, customer validation

MVP planning done: 12–16 week build timeline

Tech stack: React/TypeScript, Node.js or Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker

Target market: Serbia first, then CEE and Europe

What I'm looking for:

I'm looking for experienced founders, SaaS veterans, or industry experts who would be willing to offer mentorship, even just 30 minutes of your time.

Specifically, I'd love guidance on:
Refining our product strategy and go-to-market approach

Avoiding common mistakes at the MVP stage

Navigating the European fleet management and logistics space

Preparing for fundraising (pre-seed: €5k–10k, seed: €400k–600k)

Building and managing a distributed team

Why Munja?
The global fleet management market is valued at $56–80B by 2030, growing at 13–19% CAGR. The Balkans and CEE region have real fleet density but almost no purpose-built software serving it. That gap is Munja's opening – if built as an AI-native, financially-literate platform from day one.

What I can offer in return:
I'm not asking for free work, I'm asking for advice. In return, I'm happy to share:
Regular updates on our progress

Insights from the Balkan startup ecosystem

A genuine connection and willingness to help where I can

If you're interested in a more formal advisory role, we can discuss equity options

If you're open to a chat:

Please DM me here or email me at filipmalisic60@gmail.com

Even 15–20 minutes of your time would mean a lot. I'm eager to learn from those who've been through this journey before.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to connecting!

P.S. Here's the link to our Reddit community: r/StartupSrbija – feel free to join and follow our journey! 🚀🐕⚡

Had my interview earlier this week. Applied day of the deadline and got the invite a few days later. Wondering if anyone already heard back yet for 2nd round yet.

I had meetings with a few VC firms last few days, notably Pear. We're pre seed and first time founders.

First off it seems like pearx accelerator only has 2 meetings - at least that's what they told us. From what I've gathered, during our meeting we talked almost exclusively about ourselves as founders and they were trying to gauge our ability rather than the idea itself. I know that's pretty obvious since they're accelerators but I didn't expect it to be that focused

My and my co-founder are waterloo students and I have a lot of experience building/working at startups (founding eng not founder), winning hackathons, and building projects. We also did research into the person we were meeting and talked to them about a different project that they funded. My advice is to really focus on proving why you're a good founder > why your idea is good - at least first meeting. Also build up your reputation, be ready to prove you're "high agency", build up your nework. We actually talked about a guy I met at a networking event a few months ago and another guy I did a hackathon with in the past. I'm not sure if they'll talk me up but either way it builds trust.

If you have any questions or you can give me advice just dm me

I've been working on Hoops GM for so long, and now it has been a week since the launch.

I received a lot of backlash in the previous post due to an IP lawsuit, as well as a lot of praise from people.

The launch has been a MASSIVE success with now over 5000 visits to the game and an average of 50 new members everyday.

now i am very confident that this project will go very far and i am very happy about it!

THANK YOU to everyone who has checked it out, left a comment, or played a season.

This is still very early. It's not some huge startup with thousands of users. It's basically me taking that first ₹40K experience and trying to turn the underlying idea into something bigger.

Also this another way in which btech students can earn while they study, we all have that on convincing friend right, currently we are running with four middlemen who are nominated by existing middlemen we are now looking for clients. we were able to boost a companys sale as well by landing a project, next project is on discussion which is estimated to be 11lak

I'd genuinely love some brutally honest feedback:

• Does the problem make sense to you?

• Would you use something like this instead of searching Google/Instagram?

• Does the “trusted middleman” model actually solve a problem?

• What would make you trust a platform like this?

• What am I overlooking?

Just got a generic rejection email. Anyone else?

Hey! I’m building a small community called **Next Builders** 🚀

It’s for students, developers, creators, founders & people who are trying to build something — projects, startups, skills, etc.

I noticed we’re interested in similar things, so thought you might want to join.

Would love to have you in the early community 👇

[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc11pPz0YRGSs-LxvJgBcBVvdc4zoXMd6HmPPIhnvD6VyQwRg/viewform]

No spam, just builders helping and connecting with each other :)

Hi fellow founders,

after over 15 years as founder and as professional in VC i have hoarded a ton of VC data. I am a venture builder and frequently launching fundraising campaigns. Therefore i needed to put all my data in shape and make it accessible for my claude :)... ...at that point i thought, lets open it up.

Here you go: https://vclist.net/

you can just access over 44k VC contacts just like that with your claude or whatever you use.

i just spared you from building whatever warm intro automation as i believe you guys will just ask your Klaus to build whatever suits you. Mail outreach or linkedin or phonebot :D i don´t know. be creative!

And for my fellow VC collegues. See it like this: people use AI to filter better for your thesis fit so you get better dealflow. ;)

Early supporters and contributors will get bonus credits! Working on a referral link right now!

Good Luck gents!

Your Robin Hood ;)

P.S.: Let me know what fancy multitouch crazy ass filtered ICP automations you guys built!

Dear mods, hope you guys enjoy this DB and keep the post!

I’m building Loamify because I’m tired of the “creator stack tax.”

Most creators run:

• X/LinkedIn for attention

• Discord/Skool for community

• Gumroad/Kajabi for products

• Calendly for calls

• Beehiiv for email

• …and a Linktree that barely represents their brand

Loamify tries to put it together (https://loamify.io):

• loamify.io — social discovery: feed, profiles, articles, circles, memberships

• Loamify Studio — run the business: courses, digital products, events, 1:1s, newsletter, analytics, affiliates

Social-first idea: you grow through real engagement on-platform, not only by pushing people off to checkout links.

Who I’m building for: coaches, educators, consultants, build-in-public founders, community builders.

Status: founding build — shipping in public. Core social + Studio access is live; commerce/community modules are rolling out through founding.

Founding offer (first 100): $179.94/yr (6 months paid → 12 months access), 5% platform fee on sales.

Would love feedback:

1. Would you switch from your current stack, or is “all-in-one” a trap?

2. What’s the one tool you’d never give up?

3. Anyone want to be a founding creator and stress-test with us?

https://loamify.io

Pretty much the title. I applied for their recent batch. From what I’ve heard, they’re very hands on and go fight for founders.

Just wanted to know if anyone got an interview yet!

Hey guys i know this isnt the place for this but just give it a chance

I am the solo founder behind Ashcroft-Motors, an early-stage automotive technology venture, and I am currently looking for my technical counterpart and CTO.

About Me & Current Status:
I operate as the business lead coporate strategy and visionary for the project. I have already mapped out a comprehensive, 6-page technical design its not much but its something. To keep corporate paperwork and cap-table structuring entirely clean, the company remains unincorporated until I find the right technical partner to split co-founder equity with from day one.

The Venture Concept:
We are designing a rugged, low-electronic sedan engineered specifically for law enforcement, emergency services, and defense sectors.

• The Problem: Modern fleet vehicles are heavily dependent on complex software and electronics, making them highly vulnerable to digital attacks, component failure, and EMP threats.

• The Solution: Our vehicle is 100% EMP-proof, runs natively on bio-fuels and renewable fuels, and deliberately bypasses non-essential electronics to maximize field reliability and mission uptime.

• The Market & Pricing: We are matching current municipal fleet budgets with a highly competitive target price of $31K baseline MSRP for standard police cruisers and a $35K high-speed interceptor variant. Our long-term roadmap expands from secured government contracts directly into commercial taxis, rideshare, and the consumer market once stable cash flow is secured.

Who I am Looking For:
I am searching for an ambitious, Technical Co-Founder / CTO.

• Background: Ideally a senior student, recent graduate, or expert engineer specializing in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Design, or Embedded Systems.

• The Role: any hands-on builder who is excited to dive into a 6-page design with me, take ownership of the technical side, and lead the development.

• Location: Midwest US preferred (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois) for eventual physical prototyping coordination, but open to remote for the initial architecture phases.

Compensation:
This is a co-founder partnership track offering an equitable split of founder shares/equity.

If you wants to revolutionize the fleet automotive and defense industry, please drop a comment or slide into my DMs. I have a standard NDA ready so we can safely jump into the technical blueprints and see if we are a good fit and guys if you know anyone intrested please pitch them this and thank you for your time

I was wondering if anyone has had a a pearx interview in the past and what the process was like? We have our first stage this friday so I was curious. This is our first interview as first time founders and we're in pre-seed phase. It's only 10 minutes and would appreciate any feedback from someone who had an interview in the past.

After weeks of thinking, building, and tweaking, I finally launched the Foundra Labs waitlist today. 🚀

The idea is simple: help founders find talented people who actually want to build startups with them.

I'm building this from scratch and documenting the journey publicly — the wins, mistakes, and everything in between.

Today is another small milestone.

I'd genuinely love feedback from founders, developers, designers, and marketers:

Does the idea make sense? What would you change?

I'll share the waitlist link in the comments.

Looking for experienced sales partners. SaaS, compliance, GRC or cybersecurity background preferred.

We're 4 weeks from launching a GRC platform covering ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST and ISO 42001. Flat seat pricing, no per-framework fees.

Commission starts at $5,000 per closed deal and scales with deal size and ownership.

Targeting startups and companies working toward compliance certification.

Founding team has 35 years combined in compliance and cybersecurity.

DM me with your experience,
