Fundraising
My concept focuses on intelligent, real-time verification in AI-generated content a missing layer in editorial trust infrastructure. I’ve validated pain points in media, education, and policy sectors. Now I need strategic and product-minded collaborators and key strategic partnerships

I build what scales, profits, and stays.
You’ve got the vision, my fellow leader. We're now searching for someone who feels that productive itch to build it with you.
You may start with 20–25 reach-outs a week on YC Matching, CoFoundersLab, AngelList. You’ll likely get 5 replies, 2 good conversations, perhaps 1 real spark. And that's normal. Similar to fitness routine, you need to keep showing up.
When someone clicks, don’t jump to equity. Do a 2-week build sprint by forging a small use case, mock API, maybe some monetary token. You’ll learn more in this fortnight than any resume/CV can tell you.
Slack groups, reddit, even DMs - try not to ignore the warm circles. Leaders find like-minded co-founders in the most unexpected places. I met mine a few years back on a cafeteria in a train, another in a trolling comment thread.
It's a human in a world of humans designing for humans to serve humans. So when you pitch, keep it human. Something like, "I’m building a real-time trust layer for AI content. Pilots, demos, POCs are live. Want to build something small together? Let's jam soon."
Lastly, do remember, that you’re offering much beyond a role, more of a shared mission. And when the right person sees it, they won’t just say yes. They’ll lean in. Best wishes going forward.
Cheers,
Mohit.
