Ventures I'm working on

ThreadSurfr
ThreadSurfr
Concept Venture ACTIVE Open to feedback Open to volunteers
Mustang

ThreadSurfr is a web-based platform that helps businesses and founders discover and respond to relevant Reddit posts in a fraction of the time it would take manually. Users configure the subreddits they care about, define the topics and keywords that signal buyer intent, and optionally specify links to their solution. The platform then runs on a schedule - scanning posts, scoring them for relevance, and generating one to three suggested replies per flagged post. Each reply is written to sound human, helpful, and contextually appropriate, never spammy. The user reviews suggestions in a simple dashboard, edits as needed, and either posts directly or copies the reply into Reddit themselves. State is tracked throughout so no post is ever double-processed or double-responded to.

Slotly

Concept Venture ACTIVE
Mustang

Scheduling a meeting shouldn’t take 10 messages. Slotly is a free, lightweight layer on top of your existing calendar that lets you visually propose multiple time options at once. Just paint your availability, send a link, and let others pick what works. For groups, it surfaces the best overlap - or lets you decide. Once a time is chosen, it automatically books across calendars. No logins for recipients, no workflow overhead, no new system to manage. Go from "we should meet" to "see you then."

DanceCard
DanceCard

Mustang

Networking events are terrible. The biggest problem is anonymity - the most important person in the room to you may be two people away, and you'd never know it. Enter Dancecard. Dancecard is a mobile application that lets you register your presence at an event you're attending, publish your profile, and browse through the profiles of your fellow attendees. When you find someone who might be an interesting person to meet, click a button to signal your interest and set up a meeting.

Popup Commons
Popup Commons
Concept Venture ACTIVE
Wolfpack

Convenience today is optimized for speed, but it often isolates people from their communities. Pop-Up Commons reimagines everyday errands by bringing a mobile neighborhood hub directly to you - where you can pick up essentials, discover curated goods, and connect with neighbors. It’s a scheduled, local experience that blends the efficiency of online ordering with the human value of shared space, turning routine tasks into something people actually look forward to.

Huddle.ai
Huddle.ai
Concept Venture ACTIVE
Mustang

Today's AI chatbots assume one user per conversation, so when couples, families, teams, or friends want to think something through together, the AI collapses everyone into a single anonymous voice. We're building a shared chat platform where two or more authenticated users can talk with the same LLM at once. Each message is attributed to a specific person, so the AI recognizes who is speaking and can mediate, synthesize, and remember what each participant has said.

CircleMagnet
CircleMagnet
Prototype Venture ACTIVE
Wolfpack

All founders need to assemble groups of people to help with their venture, but most CRMs are not designed for a simple experience. CircleMagnet delivers everything a founder needs to manage their early relationships - and nothing they don't - right out of the box.
