For Founders
Launch projects, attract collaborators, and get investor visibility
Project posting
Post what you're building with a short description — what it does, where you are, what help you need. No deck, no pitch. Set pay range, benefits, and listing duration.
Financial metrics & signal
Add your real numbers — revenue, growth, costs, churn, CAC, LTV. We compute investor-grade signals automatically: LTV/CAC ratio, payback period, projected ARR, valuation estimate, and an overall signal score (0–100). Your work speaks for you.
Application management
Review applicants, accept or reject with one click. See who's interested and manage your pipeline from a single dashboard.
Collaboration workspace
Link projects to a private workspace with GitHub sync, tasks, meetings, team management, and activity tracking. Build in public with your team.
