Cautious not to break any guidelines. Therefore, I will not promote, drop links or anything of the sort.

I recently started a double sided market place essentially airbnb for storage, garages, basements, barns, parking long term (rv, boat, truck) etc.

I have had 25 hosts sign up in 5 days.

However, I wondered what is the best marketing strategy? It seems almost too boring for consistent social media content that would be meaningful.

So far I am pretty reliant on manual outreach.

Any thoughts welcome.

Hey folks!

Random but thought I’d ask as looking to find an alternative to cover genius or something along those lines for my business.

If anyone could help that would be great

I'm looking for two co-founders based in Canada, ideally Toronto, to help build what I believe could become a category-defining company. My goal is to build a founding team of three, with one person ideally having a strong background in GTM, sales or partnerships.

Over the past several months I've gone deep into this market. Hundreds of hours have gone into research, competitor analysis, validating the opportunity and understanding exactly why existing solutions fall short. The deeper I've gone, the stronger my conviction has become. I genuinely believe this solves one of the biggest pain points in Canada within a massive market, and I think the timing couldn't be better.

The platform is already fully built and ready to launch. Payments, messaging, onboarding, security, search, booking flow, dashboards and the core marketplace infrastructure are all complete. The product is modelled on one of the most successful YC-backed marketplace companies ever built, but tailored to solve a problem that is far more painful in Canada than almost anywhere else.

A little about me. I'm a second-time founder who's spent the last few years building companies from scratch. I've previously built and exited a business, launched multiple products across marketplaces, AI and e-commerce, and learned a huge amount about product, growth and execution along the way. I move fast, care deeply about building exceptional products, and I'm committed to building a business with long-term potential rather than chasing short-term wins.

I'm not looking for employees or advisors. I'm looking for genuine co-founders who want real ownership, want to make decisions, and want to build something ambitious from day one. There'll be plenty of hard work, but that's exactly what makes building companies exciting.

If you're based in Canada and you're ambitious, resourceful and excited by the idea of building a venture-scale company from the ground up, I'd love to chat. I'll happily walk you through the product, the research and why I believe this is such a compelling opportunity. If we're a good fit, I'd love to build this together.

I'm looking for a co founder based in Canada, ideally Toronto, to help launch and scale a marketplace solving a major problem in the Canadian market.

Over the past few months I've spent hundreds of hours researching this space. I've analysed competitors, studied successful marketplace businesses, validated the opportunity and gone deep into the market. The more research I've done, the more convinced I've become that this is a genuinely exciting opportunity with the potential to become the market leader.

The platform is already built and ready to launch. Payments, messaging, onboarding, security, search, host dashboards and the entire marketplace infrastructure are complete. It's based on a marketplace model that has already been proven by one of the most successful YC backed companies, but adapted for a market that I believe has a huge opportunity in Canada.

A bit about me. I'm a second time founder and have spent the last few years building businesses from scratch. I've previously built and exited a company and since then have worked across marketplaces, AI and e commerce. I love building products, moving quickly, making decisions based on data and solving difficult problems.

I'm not looking for someone to build the product (although help and advise, always welcome none the less!) . I'm looking for someone to help build the company.

Ideally you're based in Canada, entrepreneurial, ambitious and excited about building something from day one. You don't need to be technical. What matters most is that you're resourceful, willing to get your hands dirty and genuinely want to build a business that could become something special.

If this sounds interesting I'd love to jump on a call, show you what I've built, walk you through the research and see if we're a good fit. I genuinely believe this has the potential to become a category defining business, and I'm looking for someone who's excited by that opportunity as much as I am.

I assume the answer is no, but curious how far you would get? Any ideas

The scariest thing about agents in production isn't that they fail loudly. It's that they fail quietly, by spending your money while you sleep.

Mine got a bad response back from a tool, decided the fix was to retry, and just kept retrying. Same call, over and over, all night. No crash, no error, nothing in the logs screaming at me. Just a slow drip that had turned into £220 by the time I checked billing the next morning. And the worst part wasn't even the money, it was that afterwards I couldn't tell you which agent did it or why, because nothing recorded the decision.

The thing people underrate is that retries are supposed to be the safe option. But an LLM doesn't get bored. If a downstream API returns something ambiguous, it will "try again" with total confidence until your card maxes out. There's no built in "wait, I've done this 200 times already" instinct unless you put one there yourself.

What actually saved me afterwards was the boring stuff nobody posts about: a hard cap on identical calls in a row, a per agent budget that kills the session, and an alert if spend in any short window goes weird. Not glamorous, but it's the difference between a $4 day and a $400 one.

So I'm genuinely curious how bad it's been for everyone else. What's the most an agent has ever cost you by accident, and what do you actually use to stop it now? Hard caps, manual monitoring, just vibes and hope? Because I don't think most setups would catch a quiet overnight loop until the bill already landed.

Curious has anyone ever had success with stuff like this? Bought this one as barely anyone entered, I assume its a new website.

However, I have always wanted a ney jersey! LOL

Any advice you wish you knew before?

Every time UFOs come up in Christian circles, someone inevitably says:

"UFOs are demons."

I've heard this claim for years, so I decided to go through the actual verses people cite.

What's surprising is that not a single one explicitly teaches that UFOs are demons. Most require multiple assumptions to get there.

Let's go through them.

2 Corinthians 11:14
"Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."

This is probably the most common verse used.

The argument:
Demons can disguise themselves. Therefore UFOs and aliens are demons in disguise.

The problem:
Paul is discussing false apostles and deception within the church. He is not discussing unidentified objects in the sky, extraterrestrials, or strange aerial phenomena.

The verse proves deception exists.

It does not prove that every unexplained phenomenon is demonic.

That's a huge leap.

Genesis 6:1-4 (The Nephilim)

The argument:
The "sons of God" were fallen angels. Therefore modern UFOs are connected to the same entities.

The problem:
Even if you accept the fallen-angel interpretation, the passage says absolutely nothing about spacecraft, flying objects, extraterrestrials, abductions, or modern UFO reports.

The argument essentially becomes:

Fallen angels existed.
UFOs exist.
Therefore UFOs are fallen angels.

There's no logical bridge between those statements.

Ephesians 6:12

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood..."

The argument:
Spiritual beings operate behind the scenes. Therefore UFOs are spiritual beings.

The problem:
The verse teaches spiritual warfare.

It does not identify the source of every unexplained event.

The existence of spiritual beings does not automatically explain UFO sightings.

Revelation 12:7-9

The argument:
Satan and his angels were cast down to Earth.

Therefore UFO activity is demonic activity.

The problem:
The passage describes a prophetic heavenly conflict.

It says nothing about unidentified aerial objects, technology, spacecraft, or aliens.

The conclusion is being inserted into the text rather than drawn from it.

Ezekiel 1

The argument:
Ezekiel saw wheels within wheels in the sky. This was either a UFO or proof that strange aerial phenomena are spiritual.

The problem:
Ezekiel repeatedly tells us what he is seeing.

The chapter explicitly identifies the vision as part of a revelation from God.

The text explains itself.

It's not an unidentified object.

It's one of the most identified objects in the entire Bible.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12

The argument:
God warns against occult practices. UFO phenomena often involve paranormal experiences. Therefore UFOs are demonic.

The problem:
The passage condemns occult practices.

It says nothing about lights in the sky, unknown craft, or extraterrestrial life.

The connection is entirely speculative.

Matthew 24:24

"False christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders..."

The argument:
End-times deception will occur. Therefore UFOs are part of that deception.

The problem:
The verse warns about false religious leaders and spiritual deception.

It does not identify UFOs as the mechanism.

Again, the conclusion is assumed.

1 Timothy 4:1

"Some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits."

The argument:
Aliens are deceiving spirits.

The problem:
The verse says deceiving spirits exist.

It does not say aliens are deceiving spirits.

The distinction matters.

The actual issue with the UFO = demons argument

Almost every argument follows the same pattern:

Premise 1:
Demons exist.

Premise 2:
UFOs exist.

Conclusion:
Therefore UFOs are demons.

But that's not evidence.

That's an unsupported connection.

The Bible certainly teaches the existence of spiritual beings.

The Bible certainly warns about deception.

What it does not do is provide a doctrine that unidentified aerial phenomena are demonic manifestations.

If someone wants to argue that possibility, fine.

But possibility is not proof.

The honest Biblical position is much simpler:

The Bible teaches demons exist.

People report UFOs.

The Bible never explicitly connects the two.

Everything beyond that is speculation.

And speculation shouldn't be confused with doctrine.
