Our story

From idea to investor-ready — and the network that gets you there

Builders.to is a project-first launchpad for founders who ship in public. We're building a two-sided marketplace: builders and companies showcase real traction, and investors get access to verified, revenue-earning founders. Everything below is how we get there.

Services

We fund the mission by shipping

Our team delivers hands-on services for founders — from in-depth MVP validation to a done-for-you, investor-ready build. This work funds the platform and keeps us close to the people we serve.

  • Building Support: a done-for-you investor-ready MVP in about 21 days
  • MVP Validation: pressure-test your product, market, and positioning
  • Verified and Pro: trust, reach, and platform upgrades
  • Every client is a builder we can platform on Builders.to
Network

Growing the builder network

In parallel, we bring builders, projects, and companies onto Builders.to so the platform becomes the default place to discover who is actually shipping and earning.

  • Every builder gets a project page, updates feed, and milestones
  • Companies get a profile that tells their traction story
  • Warm and community-led outreach, not spray-and-pray
  • Density of real builders is what makes the rest possible
Portfolio

Builders Portfolio

Founders earning at least $3k per month can apply to Builders Portfolio. We platform them to angels and VCs with a diligence brief, their public build history, and warm intros.

  • Eligibility gate: at least $3k/month in gross revenue
  • Stripe-verified revenue before a company is surfaced
  • We take a 5% revenue share, capped at $36k or 24 months
  • No equity — access we broker, not another SaaS tier
Intelligence

Builders Intelligence for investors

Investors subscribe for verified deal flow: revenue-earning founders, auto-generated diligence briefs, execution signals, and intro requests — cheaper and faster than cold sourcing.

  • Pre-vetted, revenue-verified founders with a public build trail
  • Diligence briefs and execution signals built in
  • Request warm intros directly from the dashboard
  • Recurring access that scales with investor seats
