  1. Hi! My startup is just me right now, Tyler Mumford. My first product is called LocalStatus.
  2. I live in Utah.
  3. Elevator pitch: an open source tool to help software developers monitor tricky parts of their local dev environments.
  4. More: It's a command-line program that checks things like files, running services (ports/HTTP), and Git repos. I'm adding more features like database queries and running custom scripts. The plan is to eventually offer a paid Mac/Windows utility that runs the program and displays a nice tray icon.
  5. This is in the validation stage; the MVP is built.
  6. I'm the only one, the founder and programmer.
  7. This month, I'm trying to get feedback from people who use the tool, or from people who look at it and decide not to use it. Is it missing critical features or modes of usage? Are there people who need something like this?
  8. Programmers in r/startups could help by providing that feedback, either here or in a GitHub discussion. And to anyone who's created a tool for developers: how did you promote it?
  9. I don't have any paid products or discounts yet.

Startup Name / URL BestOfferQR

Location of Your Headquarters Buffalo, NY

Elevator Pitch/Explainer Video BestOfferQR is for selling large items locally that you can't easily ship. Primarily for high value items that people might physically inspect before purchase. BestOfferQR creates a 1 page flyer with a QR code that links to the live auction for the item. For example, you might place the flyer in the window of a car you have for sale. By scanning the code, the potential buyer knows what the current best offer is, and when the sale will conclude.

One use case is estate sales. For higher value items, hang the flyer on the item, let people view it over the first few days of the sale, then have the auction end an hour or two before the end of the estate sale, so that the person can come to the sale, pay for the item, and pick it up. The auction can be seen online, so the estate sale company expands it's potential market to people that may not even attend the sale.

What life cycle stage is your startup at? Discovery

Your role? I wear all the hats. If you'd like a hat, let me know.

What goals are you trying to reach this month? Connecting with and getting feed back from estate sale companies, while looking at other avenues to use the idea.

How could r/startups help? Any ideas, thoughts, criticisms would be welcome. I have worked on the project by myself, there could be some glaring issues I didn't think of.

Discount for r/startups subscribers? Anyone here that has something to sell, to a local market, we would do the sale for free.

THANK YOU!

WildPlay going into the niche and lightly discussed adult toy industry

u/seanrrwilkins Jun 01 '23

MyGrowthTutor: https://www.mygrowthtutor.com/

We help early stage founders build a proper growth/marketing foundation with custom strategies, simple daily tasks and 1:1 accountability coaching.

This an early stage project I'm validating and expecting to iterate on in the coming months.

I'm starting this b/c I've seen too many founders make the mistake of thinking paid ads are marketing, or drinking the "We don't do marketing" Kool Aid and paying the price.

If you're a founder with little/no growth/marketing experience, or a founder that's looking for clear tactical guidance on what to do for early growth, this is a great fit.

Come check it out and sign-up, or let me know what I could do to improve the presentation.

Thanks!

Sean

  4. The upside to our approach is it is cheap for us, and for you. Your private data does not leave your computer (compared to a cloud solution). The desktop app pulls queued outgoing messages from our server, which is simply a dashboard + API endpoint for connecting with CRMs/Zapier.
  5. The downside is messages do not get sent if your computer goes to sleep/offline.

My Role: Developer, Co-Founder

Life Cycle:

Launched for WhatsApp and iMessage. 3 current customers - 1 paid, 2 unpaid. 3 paying customers in the pipeline.

What goals are you trying to reach this month?

  1. Improve stability and support for larger customers
  2. Add CLI version
  3. Test a cloud-hosted option
  4. Allow self-onboarding and start running ads. Currently all customers are either through our cold outreach or word of mouth.

How could r/startups help? If you would like to send a iMessage/WhatsApp campaign to your customers, let me know. I'll set up a free blast for you.

Discount for r/startup subscribers? There's a generous free tier (free if <1k messages/mth and no integrations required). If you need the paid tier, I'll give you $5 off for 3 months = $14/mth for 3 months.

I’ve been in the weeds on a customer service chat app to take a load off of our small customer support team, and let me tell you, your API took a huge load off of me. It’s phenomenal. Initially expected to spend a week or so wiring everything together, then I had Chariot recommended and we were able to be up and running in literally minutes.

The UI to chat with the application is great for getting up and running quickly and fine tuning, then the API is simple and extremely well documented.

Fantastic product, thank you!

Netherlands/Switzerland/USA

https://youtube.com/shorts/iYjOh8e1vGw?feature=share

We have been a community for over a year, mainly made up of Blender 3D software enthusiasts. Blender is a free, open source 3D animation software that many use for many artistic and technical applications.

Our mission is to make the smaller more menial tasks easier for all, thus decreasing the barrier for new users to the software itself. We pride ourselves on education as it’s something we can really be proud of no matter how far we go.

My personal role is Co-Founder, we are made up of artists, developers, community leads and security experts.

This month our goal is to increase our userbase of the plug-in, which comes initially with a core set of free assets and tools. Within blender assets are materials, textures, node maps, and even whole models themselves. As we grow our foundation it is important to us to show what we can do because of the passion we have for the software, then build off the starting community by iterating over and over.

If you guys can just help by sharing our videos, tweets, basically getting us to the artists who actually use Blender would be awesome. The download is completely free. That is why I’m posting here, to get tips, encouragement, and tough love 💚 thank you!!

Startup Name: BizKids haven't secured IP, name will probably change

Location of Your Headquarters: Dallas, Texas

Elevator Pitch: BizKids is an e-commerce marketplace designed just for kids to sell their goods to the wider public. We offer a subscription model that gives kids access to a variety of tools and resources to help them start and grow their businesses; and where their safety and security is a priority.

Biz Kids is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for kids to learn about entrepreneurship and build their brands. We believe that all kids have the potential to be successful entrepreneurs, and we are here to help them reach their full potential.In addition to our subscription model, we offer outreach programs to underserved communities. We believe that all kids should have the opportunity to create their own brands and achieve economic success, regardless of their background.

What Life Cycle Stage Is Your Startup At: Discovery

What goals are you trying to reach this month? Identify The Brain (our head of IT)

How could r/startups help? Are we crazy? :-) I feel like I have the business model on lock. We want strategic partnerships with craft stores/banks/Canva to fund our education, outreach and that really fuels our marketing plan. Where we are currently stuck is identifying the right tech person. We are prepared to offer a generous equity stake to secure the right person. I'm in an area where I don't know what I don't know on the Tech - like most founders (I can hear all of you!). I believe we need to lean into safety for the trust of our parents and to manage the obvious risks of a platform designed for kid sellers. This makes my spider senses tingle that there could be an offshoot business on the tech if we get it right. I believe AI can help us on the safety/security end, also fueling that idea there's more there to develop as another marketable tool in the tech space. But our primary business is basically an Etsy for kid sellers.

I would love any feedback offered.

Discount for r/startups subscribers? Not really sure this fits our model. which is kids.

I've been using GPT to craft personalized emails while working on my previous startup. Will definitely try nureply for Mechagoose!

Startup Name / URL: TMate.ai

Location of Your Headquarters: San Francisco bay area

Elevator Pitch/Explainer Video:

TMate is an AI Assistant designed to help B2B product teams transform unstructured customer data, like customer meetings, into actionable insights in just minutes. By leveraging AI, TMate streamlines the process of transcribing customer calls, capturing all valuable insights, and automatically identifying common pain points and unmet needs expressed by customers. This enables product teams to better understand their customer needs and make well-informed product decisions to address those.

More details:

What life cycle stage is your startup at? Validation

Your role? Co-Founder & CEO

We now have a beta version where you can upload customer calls, which our AI then automatically transcribes, creates an interview snapshot to share with stakeholders (inspired by Teresa Torres's interview snapshot concept 💡), and even finds common customer pain points and unmet needs across all calls (each has its own report to present to stakeholders as well).

But there's more! You can suggest what you want to learn from customers, and our AI will dive into all past conversations, pulling out the relevant bits and helping you see the patterns 💯.

What goals are you trying to reach this month?

Onboard 10 new customers to use our product, providing them with personalized white-glove service in exchange for valuable feedback before our public launch.

Discount for r/startups subscribers?

If you're Product Managers, User Researchers, or Startup Founders who frequently talked to customers via audio/video calls and spend time synthesizing them to understand customer needs, we'd be happy to invite you to our pilot program. As a pilot customer, you’ll receive benefits including: - extended free trial, as well as special pricing and discounts when TMate officially launches. - The ability to provide feedback and shape the development of TMate.
