This is the game i have developped that gives a football manager experience for web and for basketball.
The launch has been amazing so far with over 500 users and 5000 visits daily.
Would love if you will play it and sign up!
I’m working on a product for founders who want to make better decisions before spending time, money, or traffic on the wrong thing.
The problem I’m trying to solve:
A lot of startup decisions are expensive to validate.
Changing pricing can hurt conversion.
Changing copy can confuse users.
Changing onboarding can reduce activation.
Launching a feature can waste weeks.
Running interviews or A/B tests takes time and often requires traffic you may not have yet.
So I’m building Polyhyle: a simulation platform where you can model a product/business scenario and see how different synthetic user segments might react.
Examples:
To be clear: I don’t think simulated users replace real customers.
But I do think they can help founders narrow down bad ideas faster, generate better hypotheses, and decide what is actually worth testing.
I’d love feedback from other founders:
What’s one startup decision you wish you could simulate before making it?
Hey guys,
I’d like to share something.
I feel like this is a topic we don’t talk about enough, and maybe it’s actually one of the most important parts of business. Target audience.
It recently crossed my mind, how much time do I actually spend working on my target audience compared to building the product?
Let me tell you a quick story.
There are two people. One is allergic to shrimp, and the other one loves shrimp.
They’re both in different places, but the fisherman doesn’t care where they are. Instead, he spends all his time trying to catch the best shrimp.
But he always drives to the same place, where the person with the shrimp allergy is.
It doesn’t matter how good the shrimp are. The person is allergic to shrimp!
I promised myself that I have to spend more time working on my target audience, so I wrote down the top 5 questions to define a target audience:
Are these the 5 right questions????
Also, imagine that I’m totally new to business (maybe that’s not too hard to imagine) and give me your best advice on how to define a target audience.
Maybe there’s a great app, program, template, or process that you use to create yours?
Thanks for the advice!
Speak soon,
Jan
For anyone who interviewed for South Park Commons Fall 2026 (Round 1 or Round 2), have you heard anything back yet?
Curious if anyone has received next steps, an acceptance/rejection, or any update from SPC.
I've been building Hoops GM — a free basketball franchise manager that runs entirely in your browser (desktop + mobile, no sign-up).
You run the front office: trades, the draft lottery, free agency, the salary cap — then coach live games on a real possession-by-possession engine, with an owner who tracks your record and can fire you.
Extras: pick a "franchise idol" to build around, blitz games at up to MAX speed, chase a Hall-of-Fame dynasty across seasons.
Play (free): https://hoops-gm-chi.vercel.app
Would love any feedback on the first 5 minutes.
I had meetings with a few VC firms last few days, notably Pear. We're pre seed and first time founders.
First off it seems like pearx accelerator only has 2 meetings - at least that's what they told us. From what I've gathered, during our meeting we talked almost exclusively about ourselves as founders and they were trying to gauge our ability rather than the idea itself. I know that's pretty obvious since they're accelerators but I didn't expect it to be that focused
My and my co-founder are waterloo students and I have a lot of experience building/working at startups (founding eng not founder), winning hackathons, and building projects. We also did research into the person we were meeting and talked to them about a different project that they funded. My advice is to really focus on proving why you're a good founder > why your idea is good - at least first meeting. Also build up your reputation, be ready to prove you're "high agency", build up your nework. We actually talked about a guy I met at a networking event a few months ago and another guy I did a hackathon with in the past. I'm not sure if they'll talk me up but either way it builds trust.
If you have any questions or you can give me advice just dm me
Had my interview earlier this week. Applied day of the deadline and got the invite a few days later. Wondering if anyone already heard back yet for 2nd round yet.
This is still very early. It's not some huge startup with thousands of users. It's basically me taking that first ₹40K experience and trying to turn the underlying idea into something bigger.
Also this another way in which btech students can earn while they study, we all have that on convincing friend right, currently we are running with four middlemen who are nominated by existing middlemen we are now looking for clients. we were able to boost a companys sale as well by landing a project, next project is on discussion which is estimated to be 11lak
I'd genuinely love some brutally honest feedback:
GTA 6 launches in 171 days with a confirmed creator economy. Rockstar is hiring 4 Creator Platform roles. $240M projected year one. Nobody is building tools for creators yet.
Built SixForge — sixforge.app
Three things worth highlighting:
AI Script Builder
Generates complete FiveM Lua from natural language. Input: "A fishing job where players buy bait, cast with a minigame, catch 5 rarity tiers, and sell at market locations. Include XP system and Discord webhook on legendary catch." Output: fxmanifest.lua, config.lua, client.lua, server.lua, README.md — production ready. Uses Claude API with custom prompt engineering that understands FiveM architecture and GTA 6 Creator Platform standards.
AI NPC Engine
14 NPC types each with deep system prompts — personality, backstory, dark history. Dynamic mood states (hostile/suspicious/neutral/friendly/loyal) that shift based on player interactions. Reputation scoring. 6-stage relationship progression. Information gates — NPCs don't hand over intel, they protect it based on trust. Betrayal instinct — high-trust NPCs will consider working against players if the opportunity is worth it. ElevenLabs voice, gender-matched per NPC type.
Market Intelligence
Python scraper hitting Cfx Marketplace, stored in Supabase, served via FastAPI. Category heatmaps, price optimization, gap finder. Biggest current gap: AI NPC systems. 88% demand, 8% supply.
Free account at sixforge.app. Happy to answer questions about the architecture or the GTA 6 creator economy angle.

Hey everyone,
I'm a founder from Serbia, and I'm building Munja, it’s an AI-powered fleet management platform for the European market, starting with the Balkans.
Munja helps rent-a-car, leasing, and logistics companies manage their vehicles, finances, insurance, damage records, and customers, all in one system with AI-driven insights like predictive maintenance and driver behavior analysis.
Where we are right now:
Team of 5 (myself, co-founder, 3 developers/designers) working for equity
Research phase complete: market analysis, competitor research, customer validation
MVP planning done: 12–16 week build timeline
Tech stack: React/TypeScript, Node.js or Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker
Target market: Serbia first, then CEE and Europe
What I'm looking for:
I'm looking for experienced founders, SaaS veterans, or industry experts who would be willing to offer mentorship, even just 30 minutes of your time.
Specifically, I'd love guidance on:
Refining our product strategy and go-to-market approach
Avoiding common mistakes at the MVP stage
Navigating the European fleet management and logistics space
Preparing for fundraising (pre-seed: €5k–10k, seed: €400k–600k)
Building and managing a distributed team
Why Munja?
The global fleet management market is valued at $56–80B by 2030, growing at 13–19% CAGR. The Balkans and CEE region have real fleet density but almost no purpose-built software serving it. That gap is Munja's opening – if built as an AI-native, financially-literate platform from day one.
What I can offer in return:
I'm not asking for free work, I'm asking for advice. In return, I'm happy to share:
Regular updates on our progress
Insights from the Balkan startup ecosystem
A genuine connection and willingness to help where I can
If you're interested in a more formal advisory role, we can discuss equity options
If you're open to a chat:
Please DM me here or email me at filipmalisic60@gmail.com
Even 15–20 minutes of your time would mean a lot. I'm eager to learn from those who've been through this journey before.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to connecting!
P.S. Here's the link to our Reddit community: r/StartupSrbija – feel free to join and follow our journey! 🚀🐕⚡
Not a job. Not just a title.
Looking for someone ambitious who wants to build, own & grow together.

DM “CO-FOUNDER” if interested.
Let’s build something big. 🚀
’ve been exploring a digital trust problem: sometimes an email, SMS, WhatsApp message, recruiter message, or payment request looks completely legitimate, but you still don’t know whether to trust it.
I built a very early MVP with Lovable to test the concept:

I’d really appreciate feedback from fellow vibe coders on:
This is still an experiment, so please don’t submit passwords, OTPs, banking credentials, SSNs, or other sensitive information.
Feel free to roast the UX, product idea, or implementation — useful criticism is exactly what I’m looking for.
Just got a generic rejection email. Anyone else?
Pretty much the title. I applied for their recent batch. From what I’ve heard, they’re very hands on and go fight for founders.
Just wanted to know if anyone got an interview yet!
I was wondering if anyone has had a a pearx interview in the past and what the process was like? We have our first stage this friday so I was curious. This is our first interview as first time founders and we're in pre-seed phase. It's only 10 minutes and would appreciate any feedback from someone who had an interview in the past.
Quick context, I'm an early stage investor now and sit through 10-15 pitches a day. Putting this together to hopefully save founders and investors alike a bit of time and some back and forth.
Slide 1: Team
This one matters most. Investors are betting on the people, not just the idea. Show relevant background, technical skill, and why your team specifically is positioned to pull this off. Building a fintech product and you've got a finance or banking background? Say it clearly. Make the case for why you're the right person for this.
Slide 2: Problem
Skip the product description here and get into the pain point. Why is this bad enough that people will actually pay to fix it? Keep it simple and skip the jargon.
Slide 3: Why Now?
Timing is a real factor. Point to a shift, whether it's consumer behavior, technology like AI, or regulation, that makes this the right moment to build.
Slide 4: Solution
Stay simple here. What's the product, and why does it beat what's already out there?
Slide 5: Market Size
Skip throwing out a $100B number with nothing behind it. A cleaner method: multiply your potential customer count by your price point. Charging $3,000 for a SaaS product with 1,000 target firms gets you to $3,000,000. You want this landing above a billion ideally.
Slide 6: Business Model
Explain how the money comes in, subscriptions, commissions, SaaS fees, marketplace cuts. Keep it plain.
Slide 7: Competition
Not about claiming you're the only player out there. Show you understand the space and where you stand apart. A simple quadrant or matrix works well here.
Slide 8: Traction
Lay out what you've actually accomplished, revenue, user counts, anything real. An idea alone won't get you funded. Pilot users, a waitlist, revenue, usage data, anything showing real demand.
Slide 9: The Ask
State the amount and what it gets you. Something like: "Raising $50,000 to reach $150k in revenue within 12 months."
Slide 10: Roadmap
Show what's coming over the next 12-18 months, milestones, launches, hiring plans, anything you're targeting before the next raise.
Notes:
- Keep every slide short and direct
- Don't overload slides with text or data
- Stay within 10-12 slides total
- Use pitch simulators like chαtvisor beforehand to get feedback and practice the Q&A
- The goal is convincing investors this could become a company worth hundreds of millions
