Hey Product Hunt! I m Yasser, one of the makers of ApplySeed
My co-founders and I wanted to raise money, so we started looking at accelerators and funding programs. We opened applications, started filling out forms and quickly noticed we were answering the same questions over and over again: describe your startup, what problem are you solving, who are your customers...
So we built ApplySeed.
We ended up building an agent that finds opportunities that fit your startup, prepares the answers from your profile, and fills out the applications for you. You review everything and send.

Hey PH people 👋
Every week someone sends me a message: "How do I raise?"
Most of the time the honest answer is: you can't, not yet. It is too early. And the worst part is that many "early stage" investors never say it. They politely ask for a business plan, they ask to stay in touch… and the founder keeps waiting instead of focusing on selling and building.
That is how founders lose three, four, six months. They take calls, they send decks, they follow up. The no would take one minute, but it never comes.
So I started to collect the programs that actually accept founders at this stage, and my main criteria was simple: do they give a clear yes or no? I put them in a directory. It was my way to answer that question without repeating myself.
I went through Y Combinator myself, and for an early team an accelerator is still the most honest door: you apply, you get an answer, and you move on. The problem is that applying is heavy. Every program asks the same things in a different form, and you rewrite your story ten times.
So we spoke with @anas_chhilif and @amraniyasser , we used Astra, and we transformed my list into a tool. Applyseed.com now finds the programs that fit you and applies for you.
We decided this launch literally yesterday and finished the platform right after, so today will be tight. Please test it and tell us everything, also the parts you don't like. We will share the whole experience of this launch with you, good and bad. 🙏

@chihan_tung Thanks so much Chihan, really appreciate that 🙏 That "let's keep in touch" loop is exactly what we wanted founders to stop dealing with.
Anything cooking at Ariso where accelerators might be worth looking into?

@netali_eu Thanks a loot !!!
Mailwarm
Really smart problem to solve 👏
Running @Mailwarm, YC-backed SaaS, I know how much the right accelerator can change the trajectory of an early-stage startup. But founders shouldn’t be spending weeks rewriting the same story for 50 different application forms instead of working in their business.
Simple idea, but a lot of time saved.
And always great to see Moroccan builders shipping ambitious products 🇲🇦🚀
Congrats guys

@thamibenjelloun Means a lot coming from you, Thami, especially the YC perspective. You've seen firsthand what actually moves the needle at that stage, and that's exactly the insight we built this around: the accelerator itself matters less than not burning months on forms instead of the product.
Huge respect for what you've built with Mailwarm too, great to have you rooting for this one 🙏🇲🇦
Appreciate the support, more to come!
