IdeasHunt
Conviction market for early stage founders
What this is
A prediction-style market where scouts stake capital on whether a pre-product founder hits a milestone like accelerator acceptance, giving founders public validation and non-dilutive payouts.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Scouts commit capital on whether a pre-product founder hits a milestone — starting with accelerator acceptance (YC or a16z Speedrun) — within 90-180 days; founders get public validation and non-dilutive capital if they win, with no equity, cap table, or securities involved.

No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Other. Launched 8d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #554. Today, it's been quiet for 8 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It placed #554 on PeerPush with 2 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
