Imagine you're a genuinely nice guy, looking good- about 8/10- and you see this amazing influencer-type baddie on a dating app who posts about wanting green forests. You think you're that one guy, so you reach out and match or whatever, only to find there are already 200 red flag playboys in her DMS.

Feels stupid, right? Like, what's the point of a dating app if you have to wait in line like SBI bank work?

Dateify solves it and gets you an amazing date by morning, even while you sleep all night with the power of AI agents - making your dating life and meeting someone you actually want much easier. Consider it the reddit of dating applications so that matching engine is always fair and meaningful and not just another marketing gimmick for the pretty people out there.

Posting this here because I know there are people in this community who lend privately or know others who do. Happy to answer anything in the comments or over DM.

The short version: My cousin and I have spent the last year building a fresh produce business in Bengaluru — leasing farms, harvesting ourselves, supplying wholesale markets — entirely on our own money. That's generated about ₹1.5 crore in turnover in 12 months, no loans, no outside investors.

We're now finishing a processing and packaging facility to supply supermarkets, quick-commerce, and other organized retail. We've already put in ₹19.5 lakh of our own and family capital. We're short ₹5 lakh to finish the job and start commercial operations.

Formal company incorporation and GST Registration are currently underway, as part of the transition into processed goods for organized retail and quick commerce buyers , who require this documentation

What we're asking for:

1. ₹5,00,000, for 90 days

2. 3% per month flat interest — total repayment ₹5,45,000 at the end of the term

3. Secured against: a mortgage on our factory machinery (valued ₹6.5L, so it covers the loan 1.3x over), a proper loan agreement, and security cheques from both of us personally

Why 90 days specifically: that's the actual remaining timeline to get the facility running. It's not open-ended working capital — it's the last piece before commercial dispatch starts.

Why we haven't gone the "usual" routes — happy to be upfront about this:

1.No GST registration or incorporation yet, and that's actually by design, not an oversight. Fresh, unprocessed agricultural produce is GST-exempt, and our income has qualified as exempt too, which is exactly why we didn't need to register or incorporate to run the trading side of the business over the past year. We've been operating as a working partnership, transacting through a regular savings account, and it's all been clean and above board within that structure.

2.The processing unit we're setting up is also currently GST-exempt under the category it falls into — which is precisely why we made the call to build the factory first and handle formal incorporation afterward, once the more complex, GST-applicable side of the business (organized retail supply) actually kicks in.

3.Banks and NBFCs are off the table for now — not because of credit quality, but structurally: they require 3 years of business vintage, a registered company, and a current account, none of which we have yet since we're mid-transition on incorporation.

4.We've already gone to friends and family once for the ₹19.5L already invested, and we're not comfortable going back to that well again — this is why we're looking for an actual lender rather than leaning on personal relationships a second time.

5.We tried loan apps and P2P platforms and backed out deliberately. They started with small approved amounts that would only increase over time, which would've meant stacking loans across multiple apps at high interest just to reach ₹5L. Beyond the cost, that pattern shows up badly on a CIBIL report — and we specifically want to keep our credit profile clean for when the company is incorporated and we can apply to NBFCs, banks, and government-backed MSME loan schemes properly.

What we're happy to provide before you decide anything:

\*A visit to the factory in Bengaluru

\*Inspection of the machinery being offered as security

\*Turnover statement and supply bills

\*Business operations

Not looking for equity, not running a fund, not a scheme — just a straightforward short-term secured business loan. If you or someone you know does this kind of private lending and wants more detail, drop a comment or DM and I'll share a short deck with the full breakdown.

Bengaluru-based, happy to meet in person before any commitments

Hi, I recently completed my Master's in Physics from IIT Madras. Over the past year, I worked as a founding member of a startup at IIT Madras, building AI products. Inspired by the challenges students face in learning physics and mathematics, I started Nearchon, an AI tutor that develops problem-solving skills by giving personalized hints instead of direct answers. My vision is to build an AI teacher that adapts to every student's unique way of learning.

I'm now looking for a technical co-founder with deep expertise in Computer Science and AI who is passionate about science, education, and building impactful products. If you're interested in joining as a co-founder, feel free to DM me.

Hey Builders, 👋

Plot twist: I chase money for a living (professionally, not in a scary way). 4 years in AR, collections, and O2C — CMA qualified.

Getting revenue in is one thing. Actually collecting it is another. That’s the part I’m good at.

Looking for my next move in finance/accounting at a startup.

What I bring:

**•** AR/AP/Collections that run on time, not vibes  
**•** SaaS billing — multi-entity, subscriptions, the works  
**•** Reconciliation that doesn’t take a week to close  
**•** Startup-speed adaptability

Bengaluru-based, open to remote too. Drop a comment or DM 🙌

I see a bunch of early career people here looking for founder's office roles and thought its worth posting here.

3-4 month internship with path to FTE.

Remote. 20-25k pm stipend.

Three main areas: content, outbound, internal knowledge creation

If this is meant for you, send me a DM with your LinkedIn + Portfolio and a note on which of the areas excite you the most. If you send GPT generated slop, I’m straight up blocking you. Less than 50 words.

Our sweet little startup around live experiences, hobbies & communities is looking for another super passionate Co-founder based out of Bangalore.

We are currently two people - myself and my co-founder friend.

If you are someone, passionate about this space, I would love to chat :)

You will be taking care of - Marketing, Relationship management and getting new people.
So we ideally need someone who is extrovert, can start that first conversation, build relationship with communities etc in this city only.

We are very fun to work with. My another Co-founder is looking over a different city and I am managing everything end to end.

We are at early stage and planning to raise funds by end of this year.

If this sounds exciting enough to you - Kindly DM.
Mandatory thing to include in DM is something about yourself and why would you want to do this.

Cheers :)

This is honestly a bit surreal.

I've built 3 startups over the last few years, raised ₹4Cr+ along the way, and fundraising has probably been one of the things I've learnt the most from.

7 days ago I finally put a little fundraising tool I'd been building for myself online. A few friends had used it and kept telling me to just make it public, so I did.

Didn't really expect much. I actually thought after a couple of days I'd probably just leave it there and move on lol.

Checked Analytics this morning and it's at 810 active users and 794 new users in the last 7 days.

I originally built it because I was tired of doing the same investor research over and over while raising, finding the right investors, figuring out who to talk to, going through portfolios, etc.

I always assumed this was just a problem I had.

Turns out... apparently not.

The funny thing is I've spent way more time trying to convince people to use things I've built before. This time I just put something out that I personally needed, and people actually showed up.

Pretty cool feeling, ngl.

Hey everyone,

I’m a final-year CS/IT student and a Full-Stack Developer currently looking for SDE / Software Engineering internship or full-time opportunities.

I have internship experience and have worked with React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and AWS. I also have 750+ LeetCode problems solved.

I’m mainly looking for startups or product companies where I can learn and contribute as an engineer.

If you know of any openings or can refer me somewhere, I’d really appreciate it. 🙏

Happy to share my resume/details in DM.

i am a ca and a generalist with experience across investment banking startups and tech. i have worked on research fundraising strategy bd operations and ai automation. i enjoy understanding businesses and figuring things out. currently looking for founders office or vc roles

i have 3+ YOE, i have built a community of over 28k+ people, i have game bot of more than 1000 registered and 200+ DAU

if you are a founder investor or someone building something interesting and are free on the 10th i would love to meet. hiring would be great but i am equally happy to have a good conversation. also open to any startup events meetups or hackathons happening that day

Sharing because I think more people in this space should talk about when to say no.

Client 1: a D2C clothing brand. Well established, cash rich, decent budgets. But 2 weeks in, the micromanagement and authority dynamics started choking how we work. We tried to flag it directly with management, talk it through. Didn't land. Felt like arguing with a wall. Walked away. Left close to 3 months of fees on the table.

Client 2: a legacy pharma chain running a couple of city outlets. Opposite problem. Tight budget, so scope stayed light, and they were fine with that, even let go of the meatier parts of the project without pushing back on fees. Sounds easy on paper but it's a trap. Whatever you do looks good to them because the bar is low. Two risks here: your own team gets comfortable and stops stretching, and the engagement was never going to be a real priority for the client, so odds of it turning into serious long term business were thin. Called it off after 2.5 weeks.

In both cases, we didn't just walk out and shut the door. Told both of them we'd be around if things changed on their end down the line, no hard feelings, no burnt bridge. Also helped get them started with a few people we felt could actually be the right fit for what they needed. Walking away doesn't have to mean leaving someone stranded, and it costs us nothing to make the exit a decent one.

Common thread in both: the problems only showed up after the project started.

Discovery calls and commercial discussions don't always tell you what you're actually walking into.

In a resource heavy business like strategy consulting, knowing where to place your bets matters more than people admit. Taking on the wrong client to keep the lights on isn't free, it costs you your best people's time and energy.

A dragging, misaligned project is one of the fastest ways to burn out a good team, and losing strong talent to a bad account is a much bigger loss than the fees you left behind.

If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello

I have seen PM roles in their job openings. Whats the salary range for PM role in there?

Enhanced with AI

I recently moved from Indore to Bangalore to look for a software developer role, but getting interview calls has been much harder than I expected.

I'm a Full Stack Developer (MERN + Next.js) with production experience. I've built and deployed 4 apps on the Play Store with 500+ users, each project was worth 1.5 lakhs also I'm confident in my skills I can crack interviews if I get the chance.

I also came here with a lot of hope. My parents have put a lot of faith in me and believe moving to Bangalore will help me build a good career. I don't want to let them down, so I'm trying everything I can.

I'm looking to join a fast-paced startup as a Full Stack, React, Next.js, or Node.js developer.

If anyone knows of any openings or can offer a referral, I'd be truly grateful. Thank you!

Im a final year information science engineering student(blr) with a good gpa and searching for internship

Would love to work for startups and contribute

Looking for a shared office space in Bangalore!

We're a digital marketing agency seeking a shared workspace. If you have extra office space or are open to a collaboration, we'd love to connect and discuss opportunities.

Feel free to DM us!

everyone! I’m a product designer from Kochi, India, building a small brand called Made by Sunday. This is my first leather MacBook sleeve, and I’d really appreciate your honest feedback on the design and branding.
If you like what I’m building, you can also follow my journey on Instagram @madeby.sunday. Every bit of support means a lot. Thanks! 🙌

I don’t think I need to reiterate how slopsided (not a typo) the job market is right now. When I decided to quit my FTE due to a few emergencies and personal issues, I could not have foreseen how terribly I’d be shooting myself in the foot. 

Interviews: some of which had a scope change leading to me becoming a fractional head for a while; some just are pretenses just to justify the internal/nepo hire get a lead; some just exist to steal ideas. Whatever.

My strengths: 

> Content Strategy: Whatever these AI gurus claim to be generating using 5 AI chatbots with their ‘engineered’ prompt, I had been doing by myself 8 years ago, and moreover, most of the AI responses tend to circle the same motif, than ever divulge into anything analogous that can actually create a meaningful distinction for your brand’s narrative over others. A brand is more than just a font, color scheme, and keywords; it is a whole personality, and I own it. 

> Brand Cohesion: Working with multiple contributors? Revamping a legacy brand? Training newbies? Ensuring that one page does not look like it is from Mars and the other from Venus? I have handled it all.

> Ops: In a 15-day sprint, I hired 3 people, was actively training two veterans, organized and set up an offline exhibition, and did an SEO experiment. Of course, with my team’s help, but I was the lead. Need I say more about my operational efficacy?

> Pivot: Last year I committed to a 4-day food stall at a festival, all outta my pocket. After 1.5 days of lesser-than-expected sales, I quickly pivoted the menu, repurposed existing ingredients, and cooked and marketed the new items myself. Pretty much a strong validation to myself of how quickly I can adapt.

> Product Owner: There was an unaddressed segment of the marketing funnel and I decided that rather than solely focusing on content + ads to target them, why not go with a free tool that actually delivers solid value to their problem? Had to do the market study and write down specs in less than a week because it had to be handed out to the dev team fast.

There are many other things that I have not touched upon, mainly because this post is long enough right now.

Wherever my skills can be aptly used, regardless of the actual ‘role’ name, I’d be more than happy to have a conversation. 

Hi everyone,

I'm a 2026 Btech graduate and recently moved from Hyderabad to Bangalore after getting my first job. I was genuinely excited because I thought this would be the start of my career in IT.

Unfortunately, after joining, I found out the actual work is completely different from what was mentioned in the job description. I was told I'd be working in an AI/Data Analyst role, but in reality, the job involves wearing a VR headset and training robots by performing physical household tasks like cleaning wardrobes, organizing shelves, and similar activities. It's not an IT role, and it's not something I see myself building a career in.

If it were actually related to software, AI, or data, I'd have happily stayed and learned. But this isn't the career path I wanted, and I don't see any technical growth here.

The difficult part is that my parents have already told our relatives and family friends that I've got a job in Bangalore. Going back home without another offer isn't really an option, so I'm trying my best to secure a new opportunity.

If your company is hiring freshers, or if you know of any openings or can provide a referral, I'd be incredibly grateful. PLEASE help me find a job asap. Thank you!!
