Looking for Faith Based Angel Investors

I've been working on a platform for over a year now and am gaining traction in multiple areas (ie users, churches, networks, better retention etc..)

I'm looking for someone who aligns with the mission:

Equip the Church to fill the gaps in discipleship and build stronger Christians who truly know what they believe, and why.

I can send over information and a pitch deck, if preferred, if you are interested or know somebody who wants to make an impact for The Kingdom and make money while they are at it, to continue sowing seeds.

Here is the site: https://www.belieftrack.com/

DM me for details or reach out to our support email.

Review My Deck? First Time Founder - Faith Based Business

Hey everyone! I just finished putting together my pitch deck for investors. I'm targeting pre-seed and preferably faith based "Impact Investors".

From my pitch deck I built this "Family and Friends" version that's more shareable and meant to stand more on it's own.

I'd love any feedback. Do you understand the problem/solution? If you were an Impact Investor what questions would you have after viewing this deck.

Context: I built all the slides out with the content and no visual formatting and created visual aids myself. I then fed my base pitch deck into claude opus and have tweaked the outputs to get it where it is now. It gave a good base of design to follow, I think.

I’ve compiled 291 unique Christian belief statements.. What would you add?

Nearly a decade ago, as I was digging into theology, I started building a list of *distinct Christian beliefs (trying to avoid overlap as much as possible) in a Google Doc.

I wanted to figure out what I hadn’t really thought through yet and have better, more focused, discussions with others.

I ended up building a free site from this "BeliefTrack" and I now I add to the list from peoples feedback. It's hard to come up with allll these on your own. 😄

What’s a specific belief you think should be on the list?

If I don’t already have it (or a closely tied one), I’ll add it.

For context, I format them as clear agree/disagree statements, like:

  • Hell is eternal conscious torment.
  • Christians will or have already gone through the great tribulation.
  • Scripture alone is the highest authority in the Christian life.
  • The Pope can speak infallibly on faith and morals.

Curious what y’all would add. Just throw them at me! Feel free to give a really deep belief. My goal is to have something for both new believers and those well versed in theology.

Hero section 1 or 2 and why?

I'd love to enlist the help of some of yall for my site. There is a lot of cool features on the site that I want to illustrate without being too overwhelming for new visitors.

In image 1 there is a community vibe discussion with a mobile view and blown out sections of the webapp.

In image 2 there is a sliding carousel background with multiple screenshots. (see site to view live view BeliefTrack

I know I could do better but at least for these 2 options which do yall like more and why?

Also, open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Quick note: On mobile views the right image goes away on both options.

There are still a lot of people that are unsure or disagree with this statement but I look forward to the next major round of testing that will shed more light on the authenticity of The Shroud of Turin.

Now, I'm not Catholic and originally had a disposition against this kind of stuff but man is it convincing!

I was starting to think this had a good chance of being authentic and recently Jeremiah Johnston has been on a tear with interviews and I just love watching them!

Granted.. it's not like it affects my theology one way or another but just like the resurrection itself the explanation that has the most "explanatory power" is that Jesus DID rise from the dead. Well, I feel like after all the tests and studies done this, being Jesus' cloth, makes a lot of sense.

Am I crazy?

Over the past decade I’ve spent more time digging into theology and realized how often we think we understand each other’s beliefs but actually don’t.

A lot of disagreements seem to come from assumptions rather than clarity.

I really wanted a way to actually see where people stand and compare beliefs across topics, denominations, and even church history. Something that gives more context before jumping into discussions.

So I ended up building something called BeliefTrack. It’s been a side project for well over a year and I finally just moved it out of beta!

It’s meant to be something people can explore, compare, and use to have better conversations.

I also added a weekly Bible trivia which has been fun. 5 questions meant to be challenging and fun.

If you check it out, hope you enjoy it and maybe learn something new along the way.

I've been working on a Christian platform for over a year now. I had a private-alpha, public-alpha, beta and full release stages and my goals for each phase.

Per my plan I "prematurely" moved from beta to full release because of user feedback.

I feel like I shot myself in the foot by having an alpha & beta. The site is stable and it has been for a while. BUT I just kept thinking I wanted more feedback from my premium users to really feel good about calling it a full release.

After hearing and noticing some rumblings I believe I have picked up on an undercurrent of thinking that people have when they see something is in "beta".

What people see is "Oh it's not ready to use yet".

I spoke with a recent user who was recommended the site from a pastor and the way they told me it was recommended was that it's "early and still working on stuff". Which I understood that to mean, they aren't using it because it's not ready for prime time yet.

So.... I spent my morning removing all "beta" branding and rebranded my "roadmap" such that it doesn't look like the site is still a "work in progress". Because in all reality I was the only one standing in the way of doing the "full release".

Lesson learned. The alpha stage was warranted, I got real users to use my site and it didn't crash. I got some feedback and have been working on the features/updates. I should have started with "beta" and then did a full release. I believe I'd have had higher retention with my existing users if that was the case.

BUT, let's see how it goes now... FYI BeliefTrack

So my son asks a lot of great questions and is observant.

This morning he kept digging in on Trinity questions, my wife and I found it funny because he was rightly touching on the parts that can be understood but not fully comprehended.

Like us saying Jesus is God AND He’s the Son of God. Then he’s like oh so there’s two gods? To which we said no, 1 God but 3 persons of God. Yes it’s hard to understand but you’ll understand later.

He asked more clarifying questions, which we answered, but without committing a heresy like modalism or partialism what kind of answers would yall give to help my kids better understand?
