Crowdfunded inventory for small businesses

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…

    Baqqer – Equity Crowdfunding for Makers, Inventors, Developers and You2015 · ▲7

    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…

    I am an indie hacker and have been launching my products on Product Hunt. Like many of you here, my experience with PH sucked: Lots of bots. Hard to compete. There's also been many new launch platforms coming up, but all of them make you compete for upvotes. Ugh. So I have been working on something different: https://saascurate.com/ It's a community-driven platform where indie hackers and SaaS founders help each other grow their products. The idea is simple - list your product, engage with other founders, gain exposure and social proof. No upvote system. It's hard and…

    A little over a week ago, I was wondering if anyone would care about the thing I’d just built. Let me rewind a bit. I’m a solo indie maker, just like a lot of you. I’ve built so many projects, put in the work, and then… nothing. A few months ago, I launched something I was genuinely proud of on one of the big platforms. I was excited, hopeful. But within hours, it got buried under a pile of other launches. No one saw it. No one cared. That sucked. Not because I expected it to blow up overnight, but because it felt like I never even had a shot. And I kept thinking about how many other indie…

    We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at2022 · joinmaasive.com · ▲29

    hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)
