Baqqer – Equity Crowdfunding for Makers, Inventors, Developers and You
Hey HN! I left my previous job three months ago, decided to die going broke and homeless building products I loved. I saw some awesome platforms out there, but nothing that really captured how I felt as a builder. I wanted something I could use to share what I'm working on, engage my audience in my building, raise some money, sell the stuff I made, and basically figure out a way to help me keep producing more of what people want. I built Baqqer as this idea of folding in my audience into the every piece of the pipeline towards building a company. Maybe it's a radical take on transparency all…

Decks For GoodFeb 2026 · decksforgood.com · ▲125As an angel investor in ~15 unicorns and a bunch of other startups, I spend a lot of time reviewing decks for founders as a favor. I love to help but I wish my time had even more impact. So I built Decks For Good, a website where founders can get feedback on their deck and fundraising process from a VC or exited founder in exchange for a $250 donation to charity. We put together a great group of advisors and we're ready to help you out! Sign up and let's do some good together.
FoundersWall2025 · founderswall.com · ▲35I used to be just a blogger. Now I build internet products, still without code, using AI, design, and taste. I was building in public on X for last 2 months. And honestly, I got tired of how it became performative and started to feel fake. I shipped 2 products. Both failed to get any real traction. I kept sneaking into popular builders’ profiles, hoping to learn how they do it. One thing I kept seeing everywhere, product launch directories. I thought here is the scope. So I started building one. Same UI like the rest. Nothing special. Suddenly one day when it was half built, I realized…
- CICrowdfunded inventory for small businesses2014 · ▲6
We were a part of Boomtown Boulder's second accelerator class, and after a few months of thrashing and pivoting, we feel we've got something pretty cool! We are a new crowdfunding platform with a twist - we let you partner with retail businesses by financing their inventory, helping them with marketing/lead generation and then collecting a return when that inventory sells. What I am personally really excited about, is that because the users are actively engaged throughout the process, this type of investment is not classified as a security and we can offer it to non-accredited…
