m 17, from a small town in India, and I just finished Class 12.

Almost everyone around me expected the same next step: go to college, get a job, play it safe.

Instead, I chose a different path.

Over the last two years I taught myself Forex, AI, no-code, SaaS, automation, and product building.

I've shipped:

• 4 SaaS projects
• 1 trading app
• 2 automation systems
• A few freelance projects (around ₹40k–₹60k earned overall)

Most of them failed.

One finally started getting real validation.

Right now I'm building an AI execution tool for funded traders. I already have early users talking to me, a funded trading account, and my first version is almost ready.

The hard part isn't the product.

It's everything around it.

A few weeks ago my family asked me a simple question:

"If you're not taking a normal job, when will you start earning?"

Instead of arguing, I gave them a commitment.

July: ₹10k
August: ₹15k
September: ₹20k
...and so on.

Today is July 2.

That gives me 9 days to put the first ₹10,000 into the family account.

No excuses.

No motivational quotes.

Either I deliver, or I learn why I couldn't.

I'm still doing my BBA alongside this, but every free hour goes into building, talking to users, and shipping.

I'm not posting this for sympathy.

I'm posting it because I know there are founders who have been in this exact position—caught between family expectations and building something uncertain.

If you've been there, what was the biggest lesson you learned before getting your first real customers?

I'd genuinely like to hear your story.

The idea is simple:

Most trading tools help people find entries.

LBES tries to answer a different question:

"Should this trade be taken at all?"

Instead of only using technical indicators, it combines three inputs:

• Technical analysis
• Fundamental context (news/events)
• Your personal trading profile (capital, risk tolerance, experience)

It then returns one execution decision:

• BUY
• SELL
• WAIT

Along with:

• Entry
• Stop Loss
• Take Profit
• Confidence Score
• Risk Level
• Reasoning
• Trade Invalidation

The goal isn't to predict the market.

The goal is to reduce bad decisions and improve execution discipline.

I'm still validating the problem before building everything.

I'd appreciate honest feedback:

1. Is this a problem you'd actually want solved?
2. What's missing from this approach?
3. Would you trust an AI to tell you not to trade?

Brutal feedback is welcome.

Planned Evolution

• Adaptive execution recommendations

Long-term Vision

Instead of giving traders another indicator, I want to build an execution layer that answers one question before every trade:

>

The goal isn't to replace the trader.

The goal is to improve decision quality, reduce emotional mistakes, and help traders execute their own strategy more consistently.

One question I'd genuinely love your answer to:

If you could keep only one feature forever—and you were paying for this product every month—which feature would it be?

What's the one capability that would make this impossible for you to stop using?

I'm willing to spend the next months building around that answer.

I'm Yash.

For the past few weeks, I've been building LBES publicly, streaming the process live on YouTube for around 6 hours every day.

LBES is an AI execution platform designed to help traders make better decisions through structured execution, risk management, and personalization—not hype or signal spam.

I'm looking for one person to join as a founding sales & marketing partner.

This isn't a typical job.

I'm looking for someone who enjoys talking to people, understanding customer problems, building communities, creating content, testing distribution channels, closing early users, and helping shape how the product reaches the market.

You'll work directly with me from the early stages. We'll validate ideas, pre-sell to early users, learn from feedback, and improve the product together.

If you enjoy turning great products into businesses, this role is for you.

What matters

• You take ownership.
• You communicate clearly.
• You like talking to customers.
• You're consistent.
• You're excited about building from zero.

What you'll get

• Founding team role
• Meaningful equity
• Direct impact on product and growth
• Opportunity to help build something from day one

If this sounds like you, send me a DM with:

1. A short introduction.
2. Why you want to join an early-stage startup.
3. How you would get our first 100 users.

If our thinking, energy, and way of working align, we'll schedule a call and see if it's the right fit.

Yesterday, a single comment turned into a long conversation.

Our vision aligned.

Today, Nitin joined to lead as CEO.

Now we're looking for one final founding member.

Founding Growth Partner (Sales & Marketing)

If you know how to:

• get users
• close early customers
• build community
• create distribution

this is your opportunity to build from day one.

We're validating through pre-sales, building in public every day, and documenting the journey live on YouTube.

This isn't another job posting.

It's a chance to help build a company from zero, with meaningful equity and real ownership.

If you're serious, send me a DM.

We're speaking with only a few people before we make the final decision.

I'm 17, based in India, and just finished school.

I'm looking for 2–3 people who genuinely enjoy building things and want to spend the next 5–10 years creating products, solving problems, and growing together.

Not looking for hype.

Not looking for people chasing quick money.

Not looking for people who switch ideas every week.

I'm interested in connecting with people who:

• Think long term • Like startups, AI, business, or technology • Are willing to learn continuously • Can stay focused on one problem long enough to get real results • Care more about execution than motivation

My current focus is building AI products that solve real problems.

One area I'm working in is trading infrastructure and evaluation workflows.

Another area I'm researching is using AI to simplify complex tender and compliance workflows for Indian businesses.

I'm still early.

No funding. No team. No audience.

Just building and learning every day.

The goal right now is simple:

Build skills. Build products. Get users. Generate revenue. Repeat.

I'm especially interested in meeting:

• Founders • Developers • Sales people • Marketers • Operators

People who want to grow together over years, not weeks.

If that sounds like you, comment below or send me a message.

Tell me:

1. What you're building
2. What skills you bring
3. What long-term goal you're working toward

I'm 17 and just finished school.

Over the last year I've been obsessed with startups, AI, business, and execution.

I didn't spend the year just consuming content.

I spent it building.

Some things worked. Some didn't.

I built an AI startup research tool that helped founders evaluate ideas, spot risks, find competitors, and decide what to build next.

I cold-called local businesses and explored building software for small retailers.

I spent time working around B2B and real estate workflows to understand how businesses actually operate.

Those experiences taught me something important:

Most people don't fail because they can't build.

They fail because they build the wrong thing.

Right now I'm focused on two problems.

The first is in trading.

I've spent months studying funded traders, evaluations, risk management, backtesting, and execution.

The gap I found:

Most traders have tools. Very few have systems that connect strategy, risk, capital, execution, and performance into one workflow.

So I'm building around that problem.

The second problem is in Indian tenders and MSMEs.

Thousands of businesses manually go through long PDFs, requirements, clauses, eligibility criteria, risks, and compliance checks.

The process is slow and repetitive.

I'm researching how AI can reduce hours of manual work into minutes and help businesses understand opportunities faster.

Current focus:

Build. Talk to users. Validate. Ship.

Not chasing hype.

Just trying to become better at:

• Product
• Distribution
• Sales
• Systems

Starting from zero.

Curious:

If you were 17 again and starting today, what would you focus on first?
