Hey viners! 
I’m building a tool to monitor developer activity across developer channels like GitHub, package installs and documentation views. Helping developer tool companies in targeting their audience more effectively. 

I’ve built a mvp which focuses on identifying developers who forked competitor open source projects. 

I’d love to chat with marketing leaders at dev tool focused companies. Do let me know if any of you are open for a chat. 

Thanks in advance.

We are building at https://www.readytobuy.dev 
Let me know if you are a dev tool and we could help you with lead gen. 
Cheers.

Hey there. I’m building a startup in the loan pre payment space https://www.emiswift.com 
Looking for growth experts to learn on getting my first 1000 users. 
Thanks in advance!

Any PMMs open to chat?

I've got a product that I want to try and sell to the US audience. I am terrible when it comes to marketing and sales. More of an engineer at heart. 

I tried my hand at finding affiliate marketers with not much luck. The problem is I don't know how to find them. 

Currently trying to find Influencers on Instagram who can talk about the product. But they're all too expensive.

How to market my product to the US audience

(This is a networking request but if it comes across as a personal ad against community guidelines, I can take it down.)

I'm a journalist turned brand and corporate communications executive turned published author with two decades of experience in content, news media, branding, and public relations. 

My passions are financial literacy and personal finance. I'm well connected with the national media especially in finance. I'm also a spokesperson appearing on TV regularly to discuss personal finance matters. 

(Here's a big-ass AMA thread from me - https://grapevine.in/post/62dc97ee-e9f8-45bb-82d0-7174bdef05c4 )

I'm based in Bangalore and have some free time open, which I intend to use to develop mutually beneficial professional relationships. 

Any founders, marketeers, or comms people here who have ongoing challenges with my areas of expertise?

I'm open to discussions, short-term consulting projects and mentoring.

Cheers.

Hello Viners, 

I am on the look out for my next stint. I have a strong product experience within fintech and e-comm space. I am now specifically looking for roles that will let me operate at the intersection of business and product. 

I have around 8 yrs of consumer internet experience.

Fellow viners, product people and founders- requesting your support for my next adventure. 

I find this a community of super smart people and ergo I am putting this out here. We can have a more formal conversation once there is some interest.

Hi all, I’m a D2C brand founder alongside working at Infosys. Yes, I’m moonlighting. I need help in cracking performance marketing. Any tips, any courses i can do? I’m stuck at low sales right now and need to scale my tshirt ecomm business.

Hi viners, i am the founder of a D2C startup and trying to figure out performance marketing and scaling my ecomm

I'm a final year industrial design student and throughout the course, we've been trained to conduct user research in effective ways, come up with new products (physical or digital) and also advertise the product. I'd say, we've been trained more on how to be a successful entrepreneur than a designer.
However, now that there's a brief idea about what we have learnt, the biggest hurdle that is extremely common in our field, is a lack of skillset required for entrepreneurship in today's world. We have come up with ideas for multiple startups throughout the span of 3-4 years. We're a group of 3 designers, 2 of us who are industrial designers, we usually do all the brainstorming and define the direction of the entire startup. The other guy is a UI/UX designer, who helps us come out with the most effective interface and build a semi working prototype on softwares like Figma. 
But it always just stops there. We, being designers, we learn multiple softwares that cater specifically to design. But when it comes to this, none of us know how to code and actually bring it to life. That's the biggest challenge we're facing right now, because we know we need to find a developer, but we don't know how to and where to approach any of them. This has been going on for over a year. 
It would really be appreciated if anyone could suggest platforms that help us connect to like minded developers and are willing to take part in building a startup from scratch rather than just interning or working for one.

Hey folks! 
GV is such an amazing community of super smart people. I hope this will be of help in my professional career. 
In selling generally you highlight the most important things first. This is not an attempt to sell but to build a long term relationship. Hence more of a story telling approach. Please excuse if you find this uncomfortable. 

Let's start. 
A little about me: sharp guy, with intellect and amazing pedigree, 6yrs exp. Great in strategy, business operations, finance. Trying to learn tech since last 4 yrs. 
Personally, hard to work with in a team, not a people pleaser but committed and loyal. Girls please excuse (find it more comfortable working with guys, not trying to discriminate just my preference)

Okay so what i have done. Actions speak larger than words.
Over the last 4 yrs I have developed deep understanding of tech world. I believe tech can be a great enabler in transformation of every business process today. So much that i am in an IT department today. i have built understanding of the high level systems, architecture, models, algos etc. But I can code properly. I am very bad at it. 

So what i want to do now. 
There are bunch of ideas that i want to try and build. But just stuck because i don't have the full stack development skills. I have made peace with coding inability because i can be good at every skill. 
Sharing these ideas openly for folks to copy and build. Ideas are just 10% of the work done and probably none novel but i still want to build for various reasons. In most cases, I am not looking to make money or business to build but more to transform current processes.
Eg. Real estate - why is there no portal where tenants/buyers can rate landlords/sellers and provide feedback about them. Bom and blr is such a hot market. Brokerage is an unorganised market which nobroker is trying to solve.
Energy - 24hrs electricity cost is 5-6rs as per government tenders but industries buy it at 10-12/unit. Rest in comments.

I'm building a SaaS tool to help fintechs increase the top of the funnel, funnel conversion, while giving an extra avenue of revenue through merchant partners, by building the bridge between web2 transaction data from the rails like Visa/MasterCard and any chain you'd like for us to trigger a smart contract in.

If anyone here is building a consumer web3 startup, I would love to discuss your challenges regarding increasing the top of the funnel and funnel conversion in detail to see if/how we can help you. 

Thanks!
