Show HN: VCBacked – Find venture funded startups for your business, fund, agency
I built this for anyone whose business revolves around funded startups — whether you're a VC tracking new raises, a sales team targeting high-growth companies, a recruiter staffing fast-scaling teams, or an agency looking for clients with fresh capital to spend.
The problem I kept running into: Crunchbase has data but no contacts. Apollo has contacts but isn't curated for VC-backed companies. PitchBook and CB Insights are $5–25K/year and overkill for most use cases.
We manually verify every contact and add 500+ new leads monthly.

Show HN: Evan-proxy, better teenager phone management
I tried all of the prominent child web filtering solutions and they were all terrible and expensive.
None of them made it easy to disable my teen's Internet. They were unreliable and made it hard to see usage logs. They depended on MDM profiles from an opaque company and you have to trust them to not abuse your child's data.
I wanted:
* One-click enable/disable Internet on a per-child basis
* Per-child traffic logs
* Per-child restrictions (enforced by per-child DNS blocking)
The solution was to build my own proxy and MDM profile. evan-proxy makes it easy to manage your teen's internet access. It will run easily from the smallest cloud server or your home network (when exposed publicly). It's inexpensive to run: you can use a PiHole for DNS or a low-cost service like NextDNS, and the only mandatory service is the MDM manager (I use SimpleMDM).
It's written in Go and includes a Helm chart for quick deployment.

Google just killed my project
For the past year, I’ve been building GM Pro — a Chrome extension that upgrades the chat experience inside Google Meet.
It started simple: reactions, replies, mentions, dark mode for chat. Then I added auto-join, auto-mute, transcription tools, lobby notifications, attendee shuffling. Basically all the things you wish Meet chat had by default.
People loved it. 5-star reviews. Steady installs. Real usage.
And then, after many years of lackluster chat, Google announced they’re integrating Meet chat directly with Google Chat — persistent conversations, reactions, file sharing, the works.
Which means… the exact surface area I built on top of is becoming a first-party feature.
On one hand, this validates the idea. The direction was right. The need was real.
On the other hand, platform risk just punched me in the face.
When you build on top of a giant platform, you’re effectively prototyping features for them. If the feature works, they absorb it. If it doesn’t, you disappear quietly. Either way, they win.
Now I’m thinking through:
Do I pivot to power-user tools Google won’t prioritize?
Double down on automation and workflow features?
Move away from chat and toward meeting intelligence?
Or accept that consumer Chrome extensions sitting on core UI are inherently fragile?
Curious how other builders here think about platform dependency.
Have you ever had your product “Sherlocked” by the platform you’re building on? What did you do next?
