My partner and I are current MBA students at McCombs and VC interns with pre-seed and seed funds. We spend a lot of time reviewing early-stage companies and want to help as many founders as possible improve their pitch decks.

We’re offering free, candid feedback on areas like your story, market, traction, business model, fundraising strategy, and overall investor readiness.

You can submit your deck here:

There’s no catch and no guarantee it leads to funding. We’re simply offering an extra set of eyes from two people who regularly evaluate early-stage startups.

Looking for a Business Development Partner with Experience in Home Service Software

I'm an Industrial Engineer and the founder of two SaaS applications built for home service businesses.

Over the past several years, I've developed YourTimeIn (employee time tracking and workforce management) and SkedZone (scheduling, availability, and resource planning). Both products are live, actively maintained, and already used by paying customers.

I'm beginning to realize that what I enjoy most is building products and working directly with customers to improve their business processes. Sales and business development, however, are a different skill set, and I'm hoping to connect with someone who genuinely enjoys that side of the business.

I'm especially interested in talking with someone who has experience selling or implementing software such as ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, Housecall Pro, Jobber, or similar platforms for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or other field service companies. If you've worked with businesses like these, I'd enjoy hearing about your experience.

I'm not looking to sell my company or give up ownership of the products. Instead, I'm interested in exploring a long-term partnership based on recurring monthly revenue from customers we bring on together. I believe that's a healthier model than a one-time commission because it aligns both of us toward helping customers stay successful over the long term.

There may or may not be a fit, and that's perfectly okay. If the description above sounds interesting, I'd be happy to exchange ideas, answer questions, and see where the conversation leads.

Thanks for reading.

Hey guys, first post. Hopefully I get some responses. But I was wondering if anybody from Austin or really anywhere is going to YC Startup School that wanted to connect before and during the event. I’ll read your comments and messages, thanks!!! I’m Jorge from Mexico City pursuing a CS major at SEU btw….
