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.

Platform

A place to ship in public

Builders.to is a project-first launchpad: profiles, project pages, updates, and milestones that help founders look credible and get real feedback from people who also ship.

  • Free to start — post projects, updates, and join the builder Discord
  • Verified and Pro: trust, reach, and platform upgrades
  • Peer reviews and community feedback on what you're building
  • Permanent, SEO-indexed project pages with do-follow backlinks
Network

Growing the builder network

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
