Show HN: Year old solo dev revolutionizing the private investing industry

I began building PitchPortal after getting to talk to people like Richard Brandson, Steven Bartlett and Marc Randolf among many other investors and founders at an event in Stockholm. I left with a long list of ”problems” in the startup capital raising industry and came up with a set of solutions.

It has taken time and some unconventional decisions for the building of my AI models but now I am collecting some first impressions.

What's your moat? From my personal experience, it's very easy to get openai to summarise text like this so it seems any email company could implement a similar feature pretty quickly.

Email is one out of the many channels pitchers and investors are communicating through today. While there is some summarizing involved in the process that's not the product. Pitchportal learns what the investor is interested in din and not.

Could an email company create an alternative to pitchportal, sure they could but they wouldn't create a solution for every single motive for communication. They wouldn't create a competitor to Instagram because people are sending photos via email.

What gives pitchportal a moat is that for every minute an investor is using pitchportal, it is getting way better at predicting intrest. Down the line if there's a competitor, they wouldn't have the data that we have collected.
