How can a solo founder find technical support and tool credits before launch?

I m Baran, the founder of SkiHub, a winter-sports marketplace being built in T rkiye to help people find ski and snowboard instructors, discover reliable equipment rental providers, and arrange their bookings before reaching the mountain.

The idea comes from my own experience managing ski-rental and mountain operations. I ve seen the difficulties visitors face when choosing equipment and finding the right instructor, and I m building SkiHub to make that process easier and more trustworthy.

I ve led the idea, product direction, business development and partnerships as a solo founder. A software agency developed the initial version; I m now managing its further development with AI-assisted tools.

I ve reached a point where I need practical help to move forward. There is an existing product not just an idea but my budget and technical capacity have become real constraints. I don t currently have investor backing.

From running a ski business to building SkiHub

From running a ski business to building SkiHub hello from Bursa

Hi everyone! I m Baran, the founder of SkiHub, based in Bursa, T rkiye.

I grew up in a family that ran businesses in Uluda , a ski destination in T rkiye. I later managed the ski rental operation and ski school at A ao lu Hotel, where I saw firsthand how customers struggled to find suitable equipment and the right instructor.

After losing my father, I started SkiHub to carry that experience forward.
