Ask HN: How to get funding for your product?
For the past four years, I’ve been trying to raise funding for my product, fixparser.dev . The goal of raising capital is to be able to focus 100% on it and scale the business—it’s currently a side project, and it’s not going to grow passively on its own.
Some context on why I thought investors might be interested:
Traction: It’s the most widely used TypeScript library for FIX Protocol messages worldwide.
Team: Started as a solo project, but early users joined as co-founders. Together we’re a small team of talented engineers with deep domain knowledge.
Credentials: We’ve all worked at top-tier firms like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Point72, Millennium, etc., and have decades of combined experience building production-grade systems.
Vision: Today it’s a library, but I see massive potential beyond that. I’m not sharing the full vision publicly at this stage, but I genuinely believe it could evolve into something much bigger.
Despite traction and a strong team, fundraising has been a struggle. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar spot or has advice on how to break through this stage.
Side note: I’m open to selling the entire business: library, plenty of existing clients, IP, everything.
