What it does

OnlyFounders is the live network for founders — a place to watch real startups build, ship, and grow in public. Founders host live sessions straight from their dashboard: share progress, answer questions, run polls, and build an audience as they go. No polished demo days, no recap threads — just the actual work, happening live. We're opening up in invite waves — join the waitlist to get early access.

The live startup network where companies build, grow and raise in public.

Tell us about you and your startup. We review every application by hand. Once approved, host live sessions from your dashboard — no setup, just hit start. Founders and backers drop in, ask questions, vote on polls, and follow yourfrom onlyfounder.vercel.app

    Well, when I moved to another country (UK) I felt super lost. Who were the founders living here? What do they do? I ended up going to a Google coworking space over there and met some cool people. Now, I'm back in my home country, after 8 years abroad, and again, I don't know who are the founders living close to me that I could potentially meet. That's why I decided to build FoundersAround.com A simple map where founders can pin themselves. Meet other founders living nearby. Check in when travelling and meet founders over there.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
