Co-founder pitches, sourced and curated.

The Idea
An Amazon-style marketplace connecting consumers directly with local small farms. The US loses 100k farms a year because small farms can't survive financially — Red Hen gives them a direct sales channel and a way to stay viable.

Who It's For
Small farmers who struggle to compete financially and consumers who want to buy local and support independent farms.

What's Built
Live iOS and Android app built on Flutter, professionally developed. 10 months in. Looking for in-house technical ownership to take it further — API integrations, improved product search, and ongoing improvements.

Early Traction
450+ farms and 7,600 users in 10 months, growing organically.

Their Background
First-gen farmer with an MS in Data Analytics. Has run multiple businesses for 10+ years. CEO of Red Hen App since 2024.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to own the Flutter codebase and drive product improvements.

The Idea
GEOVEA is a map-first platform for luxury travel advisors to build, price, present, and deliver trips to high-net-worth clients — polished web proposals, interactive multi-destination maps, cost and commission tracking, and luxury hotel and experience libraries. Not a trip planner for consumers; operational software for travel professionals.

Who It's For
Luxury travel advisors who need a professional-grade platform to run their business, not just generate itineraries.

What's Built
Fully live platform serving both B2C travelers and B2B travel advisor partners. Stack is React 18, TypeScript, Node.js, MS SQL Server, AWS, and Stripe. Uses both OpenAI and Anthropic under the hood.

Early Traction
Paying B2C customers and 120,000+ itineraries generated. B2B advisor seat model is the next phase and the platform is already built for it.

Their Background
Self-funded founder running go-to-market, partnerships, and operations at GEOVEA.

What They Need
A senior technical co-founder to own the product and architecture end-to-end. Offering 20% equity with a four-year vest and one-year cliff. Compensation begins when revenue or a funding round can support it. Bonus if you have experience shipping consumer travel or leisure products.

The Idea
A transparent, data-driven marketplace for private loan sales — connecting lenders, institutions, and investors in a market that's still largely manual and fragmented.

Who It's For
Private lenders and institutions looking to buy and sell loans more efficiently, and future investors who want access to that asset class.

What's Built
MVP in progress on Lovable, 3 months in. Business overview, revenue model, and pitch deck underway.

Their Background
Former Head of Operations turned Product Manager in private lending and mortgage-tech. Led LOS development, managed offshore dev teams, and shipped underwriting, pricing, and workflow tools from zero to production. Scaled operations from $10M to $20M+/month at Easy Street Capital.

What They Need
A technical co-founder comfortable building large-scale applications with solid architecture and data warehousing.

The Idea
Prelia — an AI-native operating system for non-bank real estate lending firms ($10M–$500M AUM). Replaces legacy loan origination systems and adds an intelligence layer that recommends actions and flags risk, compounding in value as the customer base grows.

Who It's For
Hard money funds, bridge lenders, and private credit firms that have outgrown spreadsheets and legacy LOS tools. He co-manages an active hard money fund — he's the customer.

What's Built
Demo live, 3 months in. Company materials built out, multiple conversations with lenders and servicers for product feedback and positioning. Operator-led discovery approach: sits on-site with each customer's team for a week before configuring their platform.

Early Traction
Pre-seed in motion. $50k personal commitment and soft commits from other interested parties. Prospects in active discovery.

Their Background
Co-President of Parallel Lending, which he built from $0 to ~$28M in committed capital across 100+ loans with a sub-1% default rate. Prior VP at Three Point Capital (film finance) and Co-Head of Media & Entertainment at The Forest Road Company. MFA in Film Producing from UCLA, BA in Economics from St. Edward's.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to lead engineering from demo to production. Multi-tenant architecture, third-party integrations, and document processing experience ideal — vertical SaaS or fintech background a plus.

The Idea
Reely is a connected suite for discovering and operationalizing SaaS — a catalog of 1,300+ SaaS companies with live signals, a Strategy Advisor that generates go-to-market plans, a newsletter and SEO content engine, and a vetted contractor marketplace to execute the plan.

Who It's For
Companies trying to find, evaluate, and roll out SaaS tools — and actually build a go-to-market strategy around them.

What's Built
All four components are live and in closed beta. Freemium and paid tiers are priced. SEO is gaining early traction. Built solo over the past year using AI as a force multiplier.

Early Traction
Closed beta opening now. Early on users and revenue but the product is fully functional.

Their Background
~10 years as a business-process, HubSpot, and data consultant — ~300 companies and 4,000+ hours building go-to-market systems. Spent the last year turning that methodology into software.

What They Need
A growth and commercial co-founder who owns distribution — GTM, content, SEO, partnerships, community, and early sales. Meaningful equity for the right person. Remote and async-friendly.

The Idea
A B2B sales enablement tool targeting a specific pain point he experiences firsthand in his day job. Details kept tight for now, but Salesforce integration is central to the product.

Who It's For
B2B SaaS sales teams. He's built the target ICP already and has a clear sense of the buyer from working inbound and outbound sales motions closely with marketing and GTM teams.

What's Built
Working demo, a PRD, and a defined ICP. Currently gathering market research and demo feedback.
