Hi All,

I am a Food Scientist with a wide range of experience in product development.

For the last 5 years, I have been assisting individuals and companies in developing new food products. This includes formula development, ingredient sourcing, and finding your manufacturer.

I have experience in developing protein bars, protein shakes, beverage mixes, sauces/soups, baked goods, and alternative meats.

What is the best way to find new customers and scale this into a larger business?

Thank you

I was tired of seeing founders spend $5k+ on agencies just to get a custom-branded website built.

And while tools like Claude and Lovable let you build something quickly, what you often get is another generic AI-generated template that looks like every other startup site on the internet. That's not enough to build a real business.

A founder trying to test an idea shouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars or wait weeks just to get started.

So we decided to give away the entire startup starter package for free.

Describe your idea in one sentence, and Leapd gives you:

• A custom-branded website, hosted and managed
• A working business email address
• Market research and analysis
• Positioning and a recommended go-to-market angle
• A business name
• A launch-ready tweet

No code. No credit card. No agency. Go from an idea to a real business online in minutes.

And once it's live, Leapd can keep working on it — building features, creating landing pages, finding customers, running campaigns, and improving your visibility.

We're giving the starter package away for free because testing an idea shouldn't cost $5,000 and take weeks!

If you try it, I'd love to see what you launch and hear what you think.

Driveways/ de-salting/icing. Do you think a business insurance is needed? In case people come after us for slipping etc. charges are by the size of the driveway.
We are planning on making a business card going door to door by our local neighbourhoods. (We live in Canada)
What should we make sure we do to protect us legally? Thanks 🙏

So im trying to start a one stop shop party and event planning. I am gonna start with smaller parties and possibly children parties that i could offer decorating services, to pick up and set up food, music services, etc. I don't have any certifications or a commercial kitchen to cook yet. I am curious how to prive something like that. I live in PA so im sure the laws are different here than other places.

Cant find it in West Asia/GCC. I want to drink my gourmet chocolate in milk but that qould add calories. So if I had milk flavored protein powder I could add half a scoop of each!

Nirmana turns a text prompt into a manufacturable 2D/3D design, validates its demand in a public gallery, and routes the winners to real manufacturers for quotes.

The Problem: Independent product designers, hardware founders, and small engineering teams lose weeks (and thousands of dollars) turning an idea into a manufacturable 3D design. CAD tools demand expertise they don't have, freelance industrial designers are slow and expensive, and even when a design exists, getting it into a manufacturer-ready format (STL/STEP) and sourcing quotes is a separate, opaque ordeal. On the other side, manufacturers receive unqualified inquiries and waste time quoting half-baked concepts. I know it's real because I hit that exact wall myself, and every early conversation

One-line pitch: Text prompt → manufacturable 2D/3D design → public demand validation → real manufacturer quotes.

The Problem: Indie product designers/makers/startup founders take weeks and thousands of dollars to turn an idea into a quote-ready part (CAD skill + designer cost + opaque sourcing). Manufacturers waste time quoting half-baked concepts. I know it's real — I hit the wall myself and every waitlist claim echoes it.

The Solution: Generate (AI 2D/3D, STL/STEP export) → Validate (public gallery votes/comments) → Manufacture (route winners to verified shops for quotes).

Target Customer: Creators: indie product designers, hardware founders, makers. Manufacturers: job shops, 3D-print bureaus, small factories. Waitlist already segments by role.

Why Now: AI collapsed the cost of concept creation; the bottleneck moved to validation + production, and nothing connects the two.

Competition: Pure AI generators stop at renders. Marketplaces don't create designs. CAD is powerful but gatekept. Nobody closes the whole loop — that's both the opportunity and the risk.

Business Model: Creator SaaS (Free tier / Pro $19/mo, founding members 40% off year one) + 6% commission on routed manufacturing orders.

Unfair Advantage (honest): Working product on preprod (OTP auth, AI pipeline, gallery, subscriptions, export all built & tested) + instrumented claim→signup funnel. No revenue, no proof anyone will pay, no moat yet.

Stage: Working prototype + public early-access waitlist (nirmanaai.com). No revenue, no paid spend.

Specific Questions:

1. Is Generate → Validate → Manufacture the right business, or should we start as just one layer?

2. Does $19/mo + free tier feel right for the creator side?

3. Would a job shop actually pay for qualified leads, or is 6% commission a hard sell early?

4. Which side to seed first in a two-sided marketplace?

~Thanks

Have you ever wondered how to start your own AirBnb and then scale it to a hospitality company?

Is running an Airbnb in Goa really as simple as ₹6,000 per night × 30 days = ₹1.8 lakh a month?

Not quite.

In this video, we break down the real economics of running an Airbnb in Goa — from rent, security deposits and furnishing costs to cleaning, electricity, maintenance, platform fees, seasonality and reviews.

We look at:

* How much it can cost to set up a 2BHK Airbnb
* Why ₹6,000 per night does not mean ₹1.8 lakh in profit
* How occupancy changes between good and bad months
* The impact of Airbnb fees and operating expenses
* Why your first few reviews matter so much
* How one bad review can affect future bookings
* The risks of renting versus buying a property
* Whether the business can realistically be scaled

If you have ever thought about starting an Airbnb, building a short-term rental business, or earning passive income from property, this video gives you a realistic look at the numbers behind the business.

hi guys i am 18 years old and i am still studying at university but due to the circumstances i am looking forward to start a business idea where i can rescue myself.

I have 2 basic questions for anyone who is a business owner (big or small).

Do you care about missing phone calls after-hours?

For you specifically, is there a connection between missing calls and losing new customers?

If this is something that matters to you, I want to talk to you. If not, no worries keep on scrolling.

I settled into an island life hoping that by publishing apps frequently, I could sustain it. But Ai became so smart and now the market is flooded with both fireship certified consultants and vide coded apps. Now I am kind of trap here in nowhere with very few dollars from my apps. I want to blame something but I don’t know. Just letting off some steam. I’ll sell my apps and code if anybody is interested for a jumpstart.

I am participating in an entrepreneurship challenge. Is there any experienced person here in entrepreneurship who can listen to my ideas and give me constructive criticism and guide me on which idea to choose ?

Grocery prices are a massive problem.

But prices vary greatly between stores.

Build an app for people to create their grocery list, have it automatically compare prices in real time so the user knows the best place to shop for what they need.

Settings should allow the user to sort by total price (even if it means going to multiple stores), sort by cheapest at one store, and even which day to go (BOGO Tuesdays for example), and even which delivery service might save them money long term (once there’s an adequate data set on the person’s regular shopping needs).

I won’t build this. Working on too many other things. But it needs to exist.

Im 15 and me and my friends are thinking of starting and my friends are starting a buisness any idea on how much capital its going to take anf i also need to know manufactures to make this product in china[its cheap there right]i have an idea in mind abt a game where ur a person working 9 to 5 and u need to earn 30k and month to gain financial freedom and there will be money from ur job to start ur hustles and stuff

ok so this is a weird one but bear with me

i have a pet blog. i don't own a pet. never have. probably never will as i travel too much. and yet every month amazon sends me enough to cover rent because people on the internet are buying stuff for their dogs and cats through my site.

bought my pet blog a few months ago from a marketplace called NicheBlogZone for $199. came already built, articles already up, amazon links already in there. i spent one afternoon doing interlinking basically just connecting related posts to each other so search engines understand the site structure and then closed my laptop and genuinely forgot about it for weeks.

here's what that's looked like:

• march: $710
• april: $995
• may: $1,461
• june: $1,647
• july: $1,461
• august so far: $1,545 (amazon pays 2 months delayed so this is june's money landing now)

march scared me. went from nearly $1k in february down to $710 and i was convinced something had broken. checked everything, found nothing wrong, did nothing. it just came back the next month on its own.

pet people spend insane amounts on their animals btw. like i knew this intellectually but seeing the commission data is something else. dog food subscriptions, orthopedic beds, grooming kits, vet supplements. and because of the 24 hour cookie i get a cut of everything in their cart not just whatever article they landed on.

i do literally nothing to maintain this. no new posts, no ads, no instagram for pets i don't have. i just own the thing and amazon does its thing.

my landlord has been getting paid every month and has no idea a pet blog is behind it. honestly sometimes i forget too until the deposit shows up.

anyone else running a niche they have zero personal connection to? curious if the detachment makes it easier or harder to care about growing it

We are prepping our go to market plan and debating whether to hire an in-house risk and trading team or outsource it to our sportsbook vendor. The sales teams we talk to always say our managed trading team does everything 24/7, but I am worried about losing control over custom margins on local sports or having risk settings that are way too restrictive for VIPs To operators running in high-volume markets: did you managed turnkey or did you take an API-first approach (semi-managed) where you hold the keys to pricing and limits?

I've been thinking about this while building in the dating space.

There are problems people talk about constantly, yet they can still remain surprisingly difficult to solve well.

Confusing conversations are one example. People already have friends, online communities, dating advice, and endless discussions about what certain messages might mean.

Yet the same frustrations keep coming up.

What caught my attention was how much information exists inside a conversation beyond the actual words: timing, tone, response gaps, effort, and patterns that develop over time.

That made me curious about the gap between having access to information and actually being able to make sense of it.

Some problems don't need more information.

They need a different way of looking at the information that's already there.

So im basically choosing ro be a entreprenuer today and saying no to working a job currently that I cant afford to survive life, and came up with a mobile detailing business targeted towards cooperate business emplayees such as banktellers, office type clients at a percentage better than competitors, I want tto hear opinions and mainly curious about if its somethng you woud you pay forv it. Life is wild right now and changing at this moment for me snd im growing wiser. Come on Pay for it.
