I love watching YC video applications.

There’s something about jamming on business ideas that’s just fun, and I know I’m not the only one (e.g thousands of people literally watch shark tank for entertainment)

But here’s the thing, I notice a lot of founders struggle with:

- make sure their idea is actually worth exploring

- find the right co-founder to build with

- maybe even finding investors?

And a big part of that comes down to not having a big enough platform to share their ideas.

So here is my idea: I’m thinking about starting a Twitter account where people can pitch their ideas in a short video, and I’ll post them. It would be a place where anyone can pitch to an audience (aka the twitter followers), make potential connections, and maybe even land their first customers.

Huge ponzi scheme but I think it'd be beneficial to the space aha.

The account will grow with people who love hearing pitches or are looking for cool opportunities, and over time, it could turn into a great spot to get feedback, meet the right people, and see which ideas actually take off.

If you have an idea or already shot a YC video applications, DM me and I’ll upload it. Let’s see what happens :)

P.S: Also open to any feedback & tell me if you think it's relevant
