Hi , I’m a founder currently building a business that turns private vehicles into mobile digital advertising platforms here in Metro Manila.

Why I’m building this:

•Many drivers spend long hours on the road with limited options for additional income beyond fares.

•A lot of local SMEs and brands find traditional billboards expensive and inflexible, while vehicle wraps are static and hard to change.

•There feels like a gap for something more dynamic and accessible in the Philippine market.

Simpler version:

•Brands gets flexible, remotely updatable digital outdoor ads. Drivers earn extra and can possibly remove the monthly pressure.

•I'm currently pre-revenue - finalizing hardware dealerships, building the software and preparing a small pilot.

About me: •Registered nurse with experience running and selling small businesses (laundry shop, van rental, online ventures). Treating this seriously.

Looking for: •Honest feedback (especially from anyone in local ads, rideshare, or marketplace businesses) •Early brand pilot conversations •Warm intros to angels or founders who’ve built similar things in PH •I’m keeping details limited in public.

Happy to share more via DM with serious interested people.

Critical feedback welcome. Thanks.

As a solo developer, I’ve built an educational alternative to TikTok and Instagram Reels, where people can discover educational videos and creators can publish their own courses.

Here’s where we stand today:

📈 2,091 registered users
👥 1,658 new users in the last 30 days — a 313% increase compared with the previous 30 days
✅ 2,002 email-verified users
🎓 21 signed creators

Spirkz is live on iOS and Android, built with React Native and powered by AWS infrastructure using S3, EC2, and CloudFront. The platform includes course publishing, messaging, groups, sharing, and an administration and moderation system.

We’re now delivering around 60 GB of content daily through CloudFront. As usage grows, our AWS bills are increasing too — making efficient infrastructure and sustainable growth a priority.

I’m looking for investment and strategic support to expand our creator community, improve retention, grow distribution, and scale video delivery efficiently.

If you’re an angel investor or early-stage fund interested in EdTech and creator platforms, I’d love to show you the product and discuss the next stage of Spirkz.

I’m a researcher (adversarial ML and model security, research intern at CMU) building infrastructure that makes AI phone agents more trustworthy for the businesses that deploy them. We’re running pilots with agencies this month and applying to YC W27.

I’m looking to talk with angels or operators who know voice AI, agent infrastructure or SMB software. Not raising publicly here, just looking for a few conversations. If that’s you, DM me and I’ll share specifics privately.

After successfully founding, building, and exiting two manufacturing companies—Off Grid Trailers in Edmonton and Mission Overland in Winnipeg, both acquired by private equity— “acquisitions available online “. I’m taking my next step in entrepreneurship.
I’m excited to introduce Alpine Defense.
We’re developing specialized, purpose-built UTV platforms designed to support defense, emergency response, wildfire operations, and critical infrastructure.
Our initial focus is on mobile drone deployment and command centers, built on proven off-road vehicle platforms to provide mobility, equipment protection, and operational support in challenging environments.
The opportunity:
As drone technology continues to advance, the need for reliable ground-based deployment, transportation, and support systems is growing.
Alpine Defense aims to help bridge that gap.
With an asset-light manufacturing strategy, established fabrication relationships, and a scalable production model, we’re positioning ourselves to serve customers across Canada, the United States, and beyond.
We’re currently seeking early-stage investors and strategic partners who recognize the potential in defense technology, unmanned systems, and specialized vehicle manufacturing.
I bring firsthand experience in building manufacturing businesses from the ground up, scaling operations, and successfully navigating acquisitions.
Now I’m looking to do it again.
If you’re an angel investor, venture capital firm, family office, or industry partner interested in learning more, I’d welcome a conversation.

I'm building a maritime data platform plus mobile apps already live on the App Store. It's about 90% done and I'm starting to look for investment to scale it.

Before I pitch anyone, I'd like to learn from you:

1. What are the first questions you ask a solo founder?

2. What traction do you need to see at this stage?

3. Which kinds of businesses are you most interested in right now?

4. The next step is processing the data with AI and selling insights to large companies. Would you rather see me focus on that B2B side first, or grow the consumer apps?

5. What would make you take a first call: a deck, a demo, or early paying customers?

I have independent research on facial hair based on 10 years of study. I can tell from simple information what a person's hair was like in the past and what it will be like in the future, and the results are not just guesswork.

I am looking for an investor or partner to develop an app based on this model.

Hello everyone,

My husband and I have changed the country 6 months ago. Considering the job market conditions, alongside AI evolution, we decided to work for us. We launched SKAI Advisory.

In this journey, my husband is with me.

He is a business strategist and also co-founder of our startup. He has experience of consulting the CEO’s. He is currently working as a consultant for a US company.

He has fluency in 5 languages German, Slovak, English, Italian and French. The reason I share this if that it can be important for some local fields to build engaging relationships.

I am an aeronautical engineer. I have 5 years experience in defense industry.

SKAI Advisory is structured around the intersection of AI deployment and consulting.

We are also working on our own model-independent testing and observability platform.

At a simple level, the platform evaluates AI agents across real-world business scenarios, measuring reliability, accuracy, compliance, and performance.

We have a working MVP. If anyone is interested in we would like to pitch our project.

We are aiming to bring our experience, knowledge and perspective to the table.

We would like to meet and exchange ideas with anyone who is curious to learn more about.

We can meet in person or on Zoom. Currently, we are living in Budapest.

I would be responding to DMs to share more information about us.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are all good.

I'm the founder of LampCal, a software startup developing Argus Enterprise, an AI-powered business intelligence platform.

I'm posting here not to raise capital, but because I believe some of the investors in this community might be able to help us with access to a real business to pilot our software.

In simple terms, we're building a platform that connects to a company's existing systems and data, learns how that business operates, and continuously analyses its performance to identify things management might otherwise overlook.

Rather than requiring businesses to know what questions to ask, the platform proactively discovers opportunities, inefficiencies, unusual trends and potential problems. It can investigate why something is happening, model possible decisions and their outcomes, and provide management with actionable recommendations.

For example, it could identify why a company's margins are deteriorating, discover changes in customer purchasing behaviour, highlight operational inefficiencies, or help management evaluate the financial implications of different decisions. (It can do a lot more, but those capabilities I can mention in private messages)

Where we currently stand:

We've already had seven local companies sign up to participate in our pilot programme, and we're now looking to bring a few additional businesses on board, potentially internationally.

What we're offering:

• A completely free pilot, fully funded by us.
• No financial contribution or investment required.
• No obligation to purchase or continue using the software afterwards.
• An opportunity to evaluate the platform using your business's actual operations and data, subject to appropriate permissions and confidentiality arrangements.
• Direct involvement in providing feedback that helps shape the product.

We're covering the costs because, at this stage, demonstrating that the platform can deliver measurable value to real businesses is more important to us than generating immediate revenue.

To reiterate, we're not asking for funding.

If you own a business, have a portfolio company that might benefit, or would simply like to learn more, I'd appreciate the opportunity to connect.

looking to raise $15,000 USD to accelerate the next phase of a legal technology business backed by a family-run legal publishing business running more than 50 years

Over the past three months, we've reached 150 users, including 3 paying customers, as we work to validate the market and develop the next generation of our product.

We're building at the intersection of legal technology and AI, with a focus on modernising how legal professionals access and work with information.

Why I'm raising

I'm looking to raise $15,000 to accelerate product development, infrastructure, and early customer acquisition.

The main goal for this 15k usd is to build the product and get orders by the government (one of them is already in negotiation )

The objective is to build on our initial traction, improve the product, and establish a stronger foundation for commercial growth.

I'm keeping the company and product identity confidential publicly, but I'm open to sharing further details with genuinely interested investors.

What I'm looking for

I'd like to connect with angel investors who understand AI, SaaS, legal technology, or the modernisation of established businesses.

I'm open to discussing a suitable investment structure, including revenue sharing or another mutually agreeable arrangement.

If this fits your investment interests, feel free to comment or message me. I'd be happy to continue the conversation privately.

Hey everyone! I’m new here. I want to know your thoughts about my project : football boot search engine

For context: I’ve spent the past couple of months developing a website that puts together retailers of football boots onto one platform. Allowing you to search for any football boot you need in one tap!

Why is it different from google search?

Finding the right boot for the right size often means searching and filtering across the most relevant sites in Google. That can take hours to a couple of days for multiple rounds of verification and checking. From my experience, the best prices aren’t even posted in these sites. Finding the best prices often means going to Vinted or Instagram. So thats what I did, a dedicated platform for football boots.

The beauty of our website is that it can easily expand and accommodate other niches such as sneakers and bags. We’ve stayed with football boots to keep the website’s development simpler while we continue developing user experience.

Currently has around 250+ users from the past 2-4 months. The main hurdles we’ve faced is pushing it with marketing and publicity.

Who are we?

i am a student-entrepreneur, I’ve built the predecessor to the website as a reselling service on instagram where I’ve sent football to different countries abroad. I have a team of fellow student-developers as well in-charge of developing the technical aspects of the website.

45 y/o m here.

I’ve got a great idea, website built by me, platform is mostly built by me, working on partnerships and acquiring first customers.

I’ve been in the industry I’m building in for 17 years.

I have built a million dollar company before but lost it due to bad financial decisions which ultimately cost me more than just the business.

The platform is early to an industry I believe is an obvious next category for providing products and services via technology and AI.

I feel very passionate about this opportunity. Just have no one that believes in me or cares.

Is that where a lot of you are? How to get past this?

I am an introvert with sales and people skills though. Just trying to figure it out.

Me and my brother have been running a B2B banking news page on LinkedIn for about 8 months now. We have managed to get 2,700+ U.S. based high value bankers and finance officials as our followers and get about 500,000+ impressions/month. We are growing extremely fast right now. With the new year and Christmas approaching, we could really use this opportunity to build a proper business since advertisers spend a lot of cash on marketing during this time.

We want to turn this audience into a newsletter media company. That's where the investment will go. We want to turn all these followers and visitors into our newsletter subscribers to build a proper cash flow channel for this business. The audience is very high value, and the advertisers are willing to pay high CPM ($100+) to reach them.

Even now, we receive inbound leads from potential sponsors which we have obviously taken and made about $2,000 until now (last 3 months). I know this is probably nothing, but this is not the goal either. The goal is to build proper newsletter business using this investment.

We both are going full-time in if we can secure some initial investment. We could start this work today if we had the cash in hand.

I'm willing to discuss terms of the investment if anybody is interested. The investment is definitely lucrative for you too.

If you have any questions, I'll answer asap. Please ask only if you're serious.

Thanks a lot for your time, ladies & gentlemen.

Hey everyone!

My co-founder and I are building ReasonRoute AI, a logistics decision-support product that helps dispatchers compare existing routes with alternatives and understand trade-offs in time, distance, and estimated operating costs.

We have a working prototype and are now focused on validating it with real fleet operations and securing our first shadow pilot.

We’re early and haven’t established commercial traction yet.

I’d love to hear from angel investors, logistics founders, and experienced B2B operators:

What milestones would make an early-stage logistics startup investment-worthy?

How would you approach finding the first fleet willing to test the product?

What should a technical founding team prioritize before seeking investment?

We’re looking to learn from people who’ve built companies or invested at this stage. Any advice or relevant connections would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I’m looking to raise 10-12 lakh per outlet to launch a small, vibrant sandwich outlet in Bangalore.

The concept is a Gen-Z-friendly sandwich brand with strong branding, a compact outlet format, focused menu and affordable pricing.

Investment: ₹10-12 lakh(fudn pool as silent investor

Location: Bangalore
Format: Small QSR / takeaway + limited seating
Products: Sandwiches, beverages & quick bites
Branding: Vibrant, modern & social-media friendly

We are already operating multiple cafe outlets since many years so we are very well versed with operations and business plans.

I’m specifically looking for a silent investor who can invest financially while I handle the day-to-day operations, setup and business execution.

Happy to share the business plan, investment structure, unit economics and projected returns with genuinely interested investors.

DM me if interested.

We’re an international web and app design and development agency with a growing client base and an already profitable business. We’ve grown quickly, and we’re now seeking $15,000 in investment to attract more clients and continue expanding into new countries.

The funding will strengthen our social media presence, support client acquisition, and expand our development of websites, systems, and applications. Our team leads the design and development, using AI selectively for certain features and automations.

We aim to repay the full $15,000 within approximately 10 months, plus an additional return through agreed sales commissions or revenue sharing. This is a projection based on expected business performance, not a guaranteed return.

Before any money is transferred, both parties will review and sign a digital contract clearly outlining repayment terms, investor compensation, and responsibilities.

Interested? Send me a DM here or leave a comment. We can schedule a Zoom meeting where my team and I will present our business, progress, financial information, and proposed investment terms, with time to answer your questions before you decide.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on an early-stage business venture in India and am looking to connect with an angel investor, private investor, or someone experienced in funding early-stage entrepreneurs.
I’m seeking an initial investment of **Rs. 5–10 lakhs by 5 November 2026** to help me move forward with the next stage of execution. As the venture progresses, I intend to explore formal business financing options as well.
At this stage, I’m keeping the business details confidential, but I’m happy to discuss the opportunity privately with genuinely interested investors after establishing mutual trust.
I’m open to discussing a suitable arrangement, whether that involves equity, a structured investment, or another mutually agreed commercial arrangement.
I would particularly appreciate connecting with people who have experience investing in startups, small businesses, or first-time founders in India.
If you’re an investor yourself or can refer me to someone credible, I’d be grateful for the connection. Please comment or DM me.
Thank you.
