This is a submission for the DEV Weekend Challenge: Community
The Community
I built this for Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs), the silent engines of our economy.
They create jobs.
They power innovation.
They give many of us our first clients, first paychecks, and first real-world experience as developers.
And yet… most of them struggle to survive.
The biggest challenges they face:
💰 Limited access to funding
🎯 Difficulty finding consistent customers
🏗 Infrastructure and operational constraints
If SMEs thrive, the entire ecosystem thrives, including us as developers.
So instead of just building for other developers…
I decided to build for them.
What I Built
I created a web-based platform that helps SMEs:
🔎 Discover funding opportunities
🤝 Connect with potential customers
🌱 Position their businesses for sustainable growth
This idea didn’t come from a random brainstorm, it was born out of real conversations in a startup founders’ community I belong to. Many of them are actively advising me on features they need.
This isn’t theory.
It’s being shaped by the people it’s meant to serve.
Demo
An MVP is already live:

I’d love your feedback, especially from founders, developers, and ecosystem builders.

How I Built It
The MVP is powered by:
🔥 Firebase (authentication, backend services)
🖼 Vue (frontend framework)
☁️ AWS (infrastructure support)
The goal was to move fast, validate quickly, and iterate based on real user feedback.
