Quick background: I used to code. Studied it in school, wrote some projects, but eventually convinced myself I wasn't cut out for it. Too slow, too many bugs, imposter syndrome — the usual story. So I pivoted, ended up as an investment associate at an early-stage angel fund, and haven't written real code in years. Fast forward to now. I'm a Buffett nerd — big believer in compound interest as a mental model for life. I run compound interest calculations constantly. Not because I need to, but because watching numbers grow over 30-40 years keeps me patient when markets get wild. It's basically…

delegare▲70Hi guys, am building SecureLend.ai and when working on our underwriting agents (free trial, paid after) I had issues with seamless payment options. Of course I looked at x402 which I believe is a great protocol but not a fan of a) sharing private keys with the agent b) having a human in the loop or c) similar workaround e.g. pre-funded wallets So I started building out a solution. For my use case it was important to not only have stablecoins but also a fiat rail which is now implemented using Stripe. Initially I build a mandate system internally but am very glad and big shoutout to the guys…

Hello HN, Later today I'll be shutting down the servers and moving on. This is my 5th startup and the 4th failure. The reason is very simple: I understimated the cost of user acquisition. This is the second time this happened. The dozens of users actually love the software and are using it on a daily basis. I'm ruthless when it comes to coding and money. So, if you are building a startup: do not ignore how much money you will have to spend to get a user. If you are not able to find that number, something could be wrong with your model. Maybe someone smarter than me could write something…

We're building a SaaS license management tool and kept hearing the same story: "We know we're wasting money on unused licenses, but we don't know how much." So we built a dead-simple calculator. One slider (employee count) → three estimates: • Total SaaS apps (~13 per employee) • Annual waste (~$250/employee on ghost accounts, unused seats) • IT time burned on manual tracking The ratios come from industry research + early customer data. Curious if HN folks are seeing similar patterns at their companies - are we close? Way off? (Also: feedback on the calculator UX welcome. Tried to make…

I was a software engineer at a late stage startup and was caught in a layoff this January. When I looked into exercising my options or getting liquidity, I realized the secondary market is a total black box. Liquidity funds spend a fortune on Google Ads just to find people like us. Those high marketing costs eventually come out of our pockets in the form of higher fees and worse terms. I built StrikeRates to change that. The site is meant to be a central resource for anyone navigating this. I included a Liquidity 101 section that explains the different financial vehicles because that…

Hi hacker news, We’re a former PM and software engineer from Robinhood who decide to start an investment bank for startups. In 2023, we had just shut down our previous YC-backed startup Psychic (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36032081). We were one of many startups building generative AI infrastructure long before it had become apparent what the applications were going to be, and it turns out the bet we made was wrong. This might sound familiar to anyone who’s been through the web3 hype cycle, but it was a big learning for us. Around the same time, we noticed a lot of…

Hey HN, I started my career as a finance manager, transitioned into product management, and now I’m building my own products. Back in my finance days, while managing a £6M budget, I uncovered a £15k leak hiding in plain sight: FX fees. Today, I see solo founders making the exact same mistake. I realised most founders are quietly losing 2-5% of their revenue to what I call the Lazy Tax: - Stripe's ~2% auto-conversion fee on inbound revenue, - plus their local bank's ~3% spread when paying for global SaaS tools (AWS, Claude, Ads). So I built FixMyFX to show founders their exact leak and how to…

I made a site to sell the husk of your stupid startup/project/whatever that you stopped working on for some reason. The idea is that you may have worked on some projects, wrote code, bought a domain, got customers even; and then life happened and you quietly abandoned your thing and now it's just collecting dust. Your useless project of the week might have some utility though for someone else, who knows? You can post anything for free that you're interested in dumping, and you can browse the projects you find cool and contact the sellers directly. I just list the stuff. The other…
