24 alternatives to Venturu – Zillow for the market of local businesses
Hey HN, Joel here, co-founder of Venturu. Imagine trying to buy a house before Zillow. That’s what buying a local business is like today. It's a massive market, but it's completely fragmented and stuck in the 90s. My co-founder, Luis, discovered this firsthand by knocking on doors to buy six of his own businesses. I saw it at industry conferences, where at 29, I’m usually the youngest person in the room. The system is built on gatekept information and a wall of fees designed to keep people out. For a small business owner, it starts with a gut punch: you have to pay thousands of dollars just…

Hey everyone, I build a Chrome Extension for real estate investors to be able to easily calculate the cash flow of a rental property right within Zillow. As an aspiring real estate investor, I found spreadsheets and proprietary online calculators like Bigger Pockets to be complicated or slow. With Homescope, you can bring this within your workflow and estimate your operating expenses instantly.

Hey HN, I love scrolling through Zillow and spend way too much time thinking a property is gonna be my next home just to find a couple of days of research later what’s the catch. I built this property analyzer to get a quick overview of “the good, the bad, and the ugly” (love spaghetti westerns) for the property. In ~30-45s you get a pretty comprehensive analysis of the history, risks, and everything else about the property, on top of a short AI-generated podcast going over the details. Users can also comment on properties (a feature I always wish I had on Zillow) and guess the final sale…

I’m often asking myself What was the name of that startup doing X? So I decided to build a directory of startups, but group them by the space(s) they operate in. - Every day new startups and spaces are featured - Use the search bar to search for specific startups or search for spaces semantically - Future plans include allowing contributions from users, more detailed startup profiles, and tracking of events (fundraise, product launch, etc.) of listed startups.

I couldn't find a simple way to explore the Brazilian startup ecosystem geographically, as I can in other places like the Bay Area or London, so I built one. The map currently includes hundreds of startups from Sao Paulo and their job opportunities. The most interesting thing I've learned so far is how clustered startup activity is in a handful of areas. I'd love to hear your thoughts. The EN version: https://www.startupsbr.com/sao-paulo
