The Idea
PressLens is a story-first press intelligence platform for small businesses. Most PR tools make you search for a reporter and figure out the pitch yourself. PressLens flips it: a founder inputs their business URL, the platform finds their story, identifies journalists already covering companies like theirs, and tells them exactly what angle to use to get covered.

Who It's For
Small businesses that want press coverage but can't afford a full-service publicist or don't know how to navigate media outreach on their own.

What's Built
Initial site developed, waitlist live. Five weeks in.

Early Traction
Waitlist live.

Their Background
10 years as a publicist and agency owner. Worked at Endeavor (WME) before founding Possible PR in 2024. PR Net Next Gen Award recipient, recognized as one of the next generation of PR leaders.

What They Need
A product engineer to own the technical infrastructure and build alongside her. Preference for someone NYC-based. Looking for someone who ships fast and thinks about user experience as much as the code.

The Idea
SocialMate is a social media management SaaS with 7 platform integrations and 15+ AI tools, competing with Buffer and Hootsuite at $5/mo or free. The founder also co-runs Hearthforge, a 3D printing product company, and a portfolio of local business websites.

Who It's For
Small businesses and creators who want social media tooling at a fraction of what Buffer or Hootsuite charge.

What's Built
SocialMate is fully live: billing, subscriptions, i18n in 9 languages, 38 users, 853+ posts published. Hearthforge is live with a co-founder handling manufacturing. Local business site portfolio is active and generating revenue.

Early Traction
SocialMate traffic up 126% in 30 days (1,089 visitors, 2,268 page views) with zero ad spend.

Their Background
Self-taught developer with no degree or outside funding. Built SocialMate solo using Claude Code. Co-founded Hearthforge 50/50 with a manufacturing partner. Also runs a portfolio of local business websites.

What They Need
A CMO-type co-founder to drive organic growth across Reddit, LinkedIn, X, SEO, and creator outreach. Sweat equity only. Looking for someone who can take the platform from a few dozen users to thousands on hustle alone before paid acquisition kicks in.

The Idea
MITRA is a platform that lets professionals create, monetize, and manage their own B2B events without prior experience. Think Kajabi or Teachable but for in-person events: removing the traditional intermediaries and letting industry experts host high-quality gatherings that generate real revenue.

Who It's For
Thought leaders and industry experts who want to monetize their knowledge through events, and B2B companies looking for more authentic, high-value alternatives to the standard conference circuit.

What's Built
Close to a year in. Detailed product vision, GTM strategy, and a list of interested beta users in place. Already has one technical co-founder, looking for a second to join as an equal partner.
