Hi guys! Giving indie-hacking my first attempt :)

Hi guys, I've been a lurker for the past few months but I'm taking a leap of faith and giving it a shot! I'm building FundMatch, a tool that'll be used to connect and bridge the gap between individuals and funding using search & generative AI.

Check us out and please subscribe to receive updates at https://fundmatch.dev

I'm also going to try out this whole 'building-in-public' :) it seems cool and definitely a good way to begin growing a brand.

For those interested, I'm planning on building an MVP now whilst simultaneously attempting to reach out to potential users so that while I build, I can also get valuable feedback and pivot / iterate if and when needed. I need to build some ETL pipelines that collect data (funding data, specifically) from all corners of the internet and then build a search engine so that my users can look them up and get easy access to funding. So instead of people going and searching on google and sifting through documents they'll be able to search for it and get better results using my app / tool.

Another crucial part will be using generative AI and specifically LLM's to assist individuals in funding proposals (research labs & PI's).

Your feedback is greatly appreciated! I'm also a 23 y/o solo-founder so I currently am indeed searching for a co-founder / founding engineer :).
