Bidly Pre-Sees Round Live Now

Hey everyone 👋 Quick intro: I’m building Bidly (live-stream video auctions for India & SE Asia).

Instead of spending 6 months pitching traditional VC suits in Sand Hill or Bangalore, I’m running an open 7-day fundraising sprint for our pre-seed round ($220K goal).

We built a low-latency, swipe-to-bid auction engine built specifically for mobile commerce.

The backing structure: We opened up private revenue-share seats starting at ₹8,000 ($100): • Fixed ₹40 ($0.50) royalty per completed sale directly to you from Month 4 • Paid monthly until you hit a 2X–3X return cap (or 18 months) • Fully digitized, instant bilateral e-sign agreements • Equity path open for angels at $50K+
