Talk startups with a stranger
You've got an idea you keep coming back to, or you're three months into building and want to vent to someone who gets it. Add startups as an interest on chatrealm.live and we'll look for a stranger who picked it too, for a one-on-one chat about ideas, customers and the messy parts of building.
18+ only. You're in charge of what you share, so use the same common sense you would with any stranger.
Ways to start the chat
- What are you building, or what do you wish someone would build?
- Bootstrapped or funded, which path makes more sense to you?
- What's the hardest part of finding your first users?
- Startup job or big company, which have you tried?
- Which Indian startup story do you find most interesting?
Good to know
You'll meet first-time founders, people at early-stage startups in Bengaluru, Gurugram and Mumbai, indie hackers with a side project, and people wondering whether to quit their job. Chats cover finding customers, pricing for Indian users, building on UPI, D2C brands, hiring, burnout and the ups and downs of fundraising. Add startups, then something like saas, d2c or indie hacking for a closer match. Keep anything under NDA to yourself. Matching on your tags is likely but not guaranteed; if nobody matches after a short wait, you'll be paired with anyone.

Questions people ask
Is it safe to share my startup idea?
Talk about the problem you're solving, but hold back details you'd regret seeing elsewhere, like revenue numbers, customer data or anything under NDA. It's an anonymous stranger, after all.
Can I find a co-founder or investor here?
It isn't built for that. You might meet someone interesting, but it's an anonymous chat, so take your time before sharing contact details, and never send money or documents to someone you met here.
Is chatrealm.live free?
Yes. Text and video chat are free, with no ads. Text needs no sign-up, and video asks for a quick sign-in with a code sent to your email.
Is it safe to talk to strangers here?
It's for adults only and only in India. Phone numbers and links are hidden, every chat has a Report button, and reports are acted on quickly. Our safety page has the full picture and tips.
Say hi to someone new
