Introductions

Hi ! I'm looking to connect with fellow founders. My background is in scaling early-stage companies (Deliveroo, Bird, Moove), and I'm now building a tool for the post-launch phase — the messy period after you've got traction but before you've built the machine to scale it. I wrote a short piece on it if that's a headspace anyone's in right now: withbase.ai/blog Happy to give early access to anyone who wants to try it: withbase.ai/signup Would love to hear what people are working on.

Me and my business partner have compelling investment opportunities that are not only a business but a movement that will transform Ethiopia’s and East African agriculture. Initially we plan to establish a facility for organic pesticide solution. This will be followed by a waste to resource organic liquid fertilizer and research and development on local micro-organisms which will close the loop of circular economy. We are also exploring rich Ethiopian wisdom in herbs to craft cosmetics and health supplements. We are currently raising capital to build our first commercial scale facility. The project is currently technically validated and ready for execution. It is my pleas…

Hi everyone, I’m Bryan, based in the UK. I’m currently building a small early-stage dating/community platform called ZendraDating. The idea is to create a calmer space focused on real profiles, safer chats, and genuine conversations, rather than fake accounts, scams, or endless swiping. I’m still at the early stage, so I’m here mainly to learn, get honest feedback, and understand what might make people trust or avoid a new platform like this. I’m not here to spam or hard-sell anything — just trying to build it properly and learn from people with more business/startup experience. Good to meet you all.

Thank you to Harry McDonough for introducing me to this platform. I’m Clénat 🥰, founder of CAAFRAL and The Corridor Builder. CAAFRAL is an EUDR‑compliant supply chain connecting African and LATAM coffee and cocoa producers directly to European institutional buyers, built on transparency, on‑the‑ground relationships, and a $7.8M pipeline. https://www.caafral.com/ The Corridor Builder is where I turn that execution into institutional reach: linking governance‑first capital, family offices, and strategic partners across Paris, London, and Africa. https://www.theafricancorridor.com/ I’m here to learn, to connect, and to grow with others who understand that real impact takes …

Hi everyone, I'm Hari, founder of Cognitive AI. I've been building software and technology products for around 14 years, working across AI, mobile, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity. Most of my career has been spent turning ideas into real products and helping businesses solve technical challenges. Recently, I've been focused on growing Cognitive AI and exploring SaaS opportunities. I have a long list of ideas, but like many founders, I'm trying to figure out which one is worth betting on and how to bootstrap it without raising capital. I'm here to learn from people who have been through that journey, share what I've learned from the engineering side of startups, and hop…

Hi everyone, I'm Belete Taye Shumi, the founder and CEO of CPC Technology (City Processor Computing), based in Sululta, Ethiopia. We are on a mission to build a Smart City Brain and robust Digital Public Infrastructure. Our core vision is to transition people from being mere digital consumers to becoming true digital owners. To achieve this, we are developing a highly secure, modular cloud ecosystem consisting of C-Cloud (for citizens), I-Cloud (for industry), and O-Cloud (for organizations). As our tags suggest, we have some exciting milestones coming soon. We are currently preparing for our Share Launch targeted for December 2026, and we are laying the groundwork to sec…

I am co-founding LUTYO with a brilliant founding team, an AI company developing a privacy-first mobility intelligence platform. Looking for fundraising and mobility partners.

Hi everyone, I thought I'd take a moment to introduce ourselves and the thinking behind Nexus. Nexus was created by the team at Khaos, a global sports consultancy founded by Tom Varndell (former England Rugby international and the third-highest try scorer in Premiership Rugby history) and Matt Bressons (former Italy Rugby international). While our roots are firmly in sport, we're increasingly exploring how the lessons, relationships and experiences from elite performance can create value in the business world. My own background spans sailing, family offices and corporate environments, and one thing I've consistently noticed is that some of the most valuable conversations …

Good morning all, I just want to introduce myself and our startup. We are a UK Startup called Umazi and have just launched our product. It took a while! Now it is time to get users online and get some real feedback from users. We are not charging anything for people that sign up now - We call it Founder Memberships.

Exited for the road ahead and grateful to be part of this community. Regards…

Hi everyone, I’m currently building Aidexo Emergency Network — a UK-based platform connecting customers with local tradespeople quickly and efficiently, especially in urgent situations. The platform is live and available nationwide across the UK, currently in its early growth stage and undergoing continuous development and refinement. Aidexo is built on a unique concept, combining elements of service directories, real-time enquiries, and direct communication — designed to offer a faster, more efficient experience than traditional platforms. The vision is to scale this into a global network, expanding across multiple countries and service categories. This is a highly …

Hi everyone, I'm co-founding ClaimIQ, an AI-powered SaaS platform built for the Moroccan healthcare market — and I'd love your honest feedback. The problem we're solving: Morocco processes 12 million medical reimbursement claims per year. 32% are rejected. That's 4.6 billion MAD (~$450M) in blocked cash annually. 85% of those rejections are technically preventable before submission. Our solution: ClaimIQ pre-validates medical dossiers before they reach the insurer — detecting coding errors, missing documents, and eligibility issues in under 2 minutes. We connect three actors that never communicated in real time: clinics, insurers, and patients. Why it's a Blue Oce…

Hi everyone, great to be here 👋 I’m Ashraf, a multi-cloud solution architect and project manager based in Singapore. I’m currently building BobSentry (bobsentry.com) — a platform focused on using AI and intelligent monitoring to improve operational visibility, reliability, and decision-making for industrial and logistics environments. Right now, I’m in the early-stage/MVP phase — validating real-world pain points, refining the product direction, and engaging with potential customers before scaling development. What I’m looking for: Connections with founders/operators in logistics, maritime, and industrial sectors Feedback on real operational pain points (especially around…

Hi All, Great to be on this platform. Quick into of Utlwala Sovereign Shield (Non-Profit) & Utlwala Tactical System (Pty) Ltd. Utlwala was born out of a refusal to accept the status quo. In a country with 85 murders a day, where kids are raped, women are killed, and communities like Westbury and Eerste Revier are held hostage by terror, 85% of people know the perpetrators but stay silent out of pure fear. I could not, for the life of me, just stand aside. I stepped away from a 22-year career in the BPO sector to build Utlwala (which means "Be Heard" in Setswana). We began with the Utlwala Sovereign Shield (our NPC)—a zero-rated, zero-trace, 100% anonymous "Phygital…

Hi everyone! Excited to join the Startup Network community. Who I am: I’m an independent researcher and deep-tech innovator focused on fundamental physics. What I'm working on: I am developing a novel geometric framework that fundamentally redefines the quantum vacuum. My research proposes that the vacuum is not empty, but structured by a Higgs grid. Using a 55-point cluster model (Mackay Icosahedron), my work maps the precise geometry of protons, neutrons, and electron wave dynamics. My Ask: I’m looking to connect with visionary deep-tech investors, open-minded academic collaborators, and tech pioneers who are interested in the absolute bleeding edge of foundational scie…

We just launched Monarch in beta — and we're looking for the right people to help us shape it.

Here's what you get from day one: Full access to our matching system — connecting you with relevant people across the startup ecosystem. A built-in marketplace to buy and sell businesses. And a network that's actually built around you — not everyone else. In return, we just ask one thing — tell us what works, what doesn't, and what you wish existed. This is your c…

We have launched our new product called SafePulse - https://erasys.co.uk/safepulse SafePulse creates a unique behavioral profile by analyzing how you naturally interact with your device. This digital fingerprint is impossible to replicate—providing continuous, invisible authentication that works seamlessly in the background. We are looking for organisations (startups and established organisations) to try it for free. We are also open for collaboration and partnership. Kind regards Faria

I have an amazing fast food concept, something innovative enough that it doesnt exist anywhere. I am confident it will become huge success in the future. I have 25 years of hotel management experience. Though setting up that sort of venue will be around £ 500,000 and currently all I have is a concept and project plan. I have worked with some top class Chefs in my career which has given me a great expertise in Food and the Entrepreneur who lives inside me has pushed me to pitch this out in this forum. How do I get someone to TRUST my concept and work as a business partner? We will make it GRAND

Hello Everyone! I help technical B2B organisations replace founder-led selling with a structured, commercially mature GTM Rhythm, one that creates clarity, control, and predictable growth. I’ve spent 20+ years leading GTM, sales, and commercial transformation in complex environments.
 What I see everywhere in technical companies: Pipelines that spike and crash Deals that stall with no clear reason Forecasts based on hope A CRM that stores data but doesn’t drive performance Messaging that’s accurate but not compelling Teams working hard, but not in rhythm Founders becoming Head of Sales by default It’s not a capability issue. It’s a commercial system issue. Th…
