How Talesnag works
Founders post Snags. Investors and supporters discover startups by story, not by deck.
1 · Founders
Tell the story behind the startup
Create a startup profile and post Snags: pitch, traction, fundraising, or build-in-public. Each one is one chapter. Together they become a living pitch.
- Claim your startup profile
- Post updates as you ship
- Grow reputation from real engagement
- Match cofounders or hire when ready
2 · Discoverers
Scroll the feed, back what you believe
Skim the feed, filter Discover by stage and funding, back Snags, comment, and follow founders worth watching.
- Follow startups and founders
- Back and comment on Snags
- Browse Jobs and Startup School
- Opt into cofounder matching
3 · Investors
Signal interest early
Save Snags and register interest with founders raising now. Reputation scores grow with engagement, so credibility compounds publicly.
- Filter Discover by stage and funding
- Save Snags worth tracking
- Register interest when they raise
- Match startups to your thesis
What is a Snag?
A Snag is a short startup story (pitch, traction, fundraising, or build-in-public) posted by a founder. Think TikTok pacing applied to startup updates: skimmable, story-led, repeatable.
How the loop works
-
1
Post
Founders publish Snags as the company moves.
-
2
Discover
People scroll the feed and filter by stage and industry.
-
3
Engage
Backs, comments, follows, and saves create signal.
-
4
Connect
Interest, cofounder match, and conversations start with context.
Example Snag
A typical traction update looks like this: short enough to skim, specific enough to matter.
