Their Background
Finance and trading background. Have spent significant time analyzing prediction markets and identifying specific inefficiencies they want to build around.

Who It's For

Has existing relationships with local government and school district stakeholders for early pilot opportunities once the product is ready.

Their Background
Enterprise software and AI/business transformation background. Experience in go-to-market, building customer relationships, and sales. Willing to self-fund the MVP phase.

A hands-on technical co-founder to lead the product vision and build the MVP. Ideal background includes full-stack, AI/LLMs, data architecture, privacy-first products, and ideally experience in edtech or child-facing products.

The Idea
DroneHire is a B2B marketplace connecting commercial drone pilots with enterprise clients who need aerial data for construction, agricultural mapping, real estate, and infrastructure inspection. It streamlines pilot sourcing, airspace compliance, scheduling, and large dataset transfer.

Who It's For
Enterprise clients who need reliable licensed drone operators, and commercial drone pilots who want a better way to find and manage work.

What's Built
High-fidelity wireframes and a mapped-out user journey. No product built yet.

Early Traction
Spoke with dozens of commercial drone pilots and enterprise customers. Pain point is verified — they are actively losing time and money on scheduling and unreliable pilots.

Their Background
Non-technical founder with a background in operations and sales. Has spent the last few months on market validation, ICP mapping, and building out compliance and regulatory frameworks.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to own the full architecture and roadmap — full-stack marketplace development, data architecture for heavy file handling and photogrammetry/LiDAR pipelines, and early-stage velocity. Equity split with standard vesting.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Who It's For
The 70M+ US pet households who feel guilty they're not doing enough with their animals.

Their Background
Product manager with a track record across multiple startups — drove 4x revenue growth at Go México and launched a new product to $1M in Q1-Q2, grew Yana's user base 80% per quarter as a PM consultant, and delivered a 20% retention increase and 30% engagement lift at Hichee.com. Marketing degree from ITESO, Reforge member.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to build and own the product.

The Idea
A mobile app that uses AI to teach users how to draw in anime and stylized styles — starting with their own selfie. Instead of generating art for you, it acts as a step-by-step coach: breaking down a photo into foundational anatomy guides (circles and lines) and walking users through recreating it themselves in a gamified curriculum.

Who It's For
People who want to learn to draw, particularly those drawn to anime and digital art culture. Targets the gap between "AI does it for you" and actually developing a creative skill.

What's Built
No-code prototype built in Base44 covering the core user journey — gamified mastery levels, a touch-responsive drawing studio, and the selfie-to-skeleton learning flow. About 70% functional as a demo.

Early Traction

Their Background
Hospitality management background. Self-taught in no-code and rapid prototyping. No prior tech or art industry experience.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to take the prototype from no-code to a real mobile app.

The Idea
MITRA — a platform that lets professionals create, monetize, and manage their own B2B events without prior experience. Think Kajabi or Teachable but for in-person events: removing the traditional intermediaries and letting industry experts host high-quality gatherings that generate real revenue.

Who It's For
Thought leaders and industry experts who want to monetize their knowledge through events, and B2B companies looking for more authentic, high-value alternatives to the standard conference circuit.

What's Built
Close to a year in. Detailed product vision, GTM strategy, and a list of interested beta users in place. Already has one technical co-founder — looking for a second to join as an equal partner.
