Lleverage: The autonomous back office for the physical economy | Product Hunt
Lleverage runs the back office of manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors with AI agents. They read orders, invoices and purchase orders from email and PDF, check them against the ERP (SAP, Business Central, Exact, NetSuite and more) and post the clean ones. People only handle the exceptions, with approvals and a full audit trail. No migration: the ERP stays the system of record. EU hosted.
How should I deal with this situation? (Small business employee rant)
I’m 17 in online school and I’m working two jobs to save up for college right now. One of them is at a local coffee shop, I’ll probably be quitting this job next spring or mid summer at the latest but I’m considering doing it early because of a lot of different reasons right now. I’m just kind of looking for guidance/advice on how I should go about this?
Funding to re-open gas station
Recently bought gas station that was shut down in 2020. It was in operation when it closed. I have a quote for $200k to put new fuel dispensers and a new underground storage tank. I have applied through SBA and get denied because they require 2 years in business. What avenues are recommended to take to secure funding? submitted by /u/UPHustler906 [link] [comments]
What do you actually give someone before handing them your social media?
I ran the brand and marketing side of my family's bakery for a while. when I stepped back and someone else took it over, it was maybe a few weeks before the instagram and the flyers stopped looking like the same shop. nobody did a bad job tbh, I'd just never written any of it down. for those of you who've handed social media to an employee or a family member, what did you actually give them? a one page doc, canva templates, or do you still approve every post yourself? submitted by /u/Clean_Candidate_5496 [link] [comments]

[I will not promote] Where to find GPU compute rentals program for early-stage startups?
Hi, so I am developing this product, and it needs bigger GPU than the one I have. It also needs a bigger vram than the one I have. The product has a landing page, and I am interested to know of any programs I can apply to either for reduction in price or for providing some limited GPU compute for such early-stage startups's needs.

Quoting Geoffrey Huntley
If the agent isn't using my diagnostics library, I could introspect and update AGENTS.md, but there's still a delta, and it'll drift. Instead, I write a pre-commit hook that checks the git diff for direct calls to observability modules that bypass my diagnostics module. Boom: fail the commit, inject a prompt telling the agent to use the diagnostics library. All of a sudden it's ten out of ten.

Opus 5.5 + Blender won in motion design. Three.js didn't match the quality needed
We don't pay for motion designers anymore The cinematic hook is done with seedance 2.5 in the spirit of those quirky AI influencers trend Then the motion design itself I tried to use Three.js as some people recommended but it couldn't model the asana and clickup screens in a high resolution (no idea why) So I asked Opus to move back to Blender and make it in 1080p All those small diagonal 3d tilts of the screen adds to the dynamic feeling compared to showing flat screens. The small details make a difference.
Stripe alternatives if you need to accept payments in more markets?
I keep seeing Stripe as the default answer, but I’m starting to think it depends a lot on where your business/customers actually are. I’m comparing Stripe, PayPal, Airwallex and Whop right now. My main concern is ending up on somethinn that works fine at first, then realizing later that certain countries, local payment methods or payouts aren’t supported the way I need. For anyone selling across multiple markets, what did you end up using?

Initial Sole Director only recommended after incorporation ?
I am reading that it is recommended to have a sole director among the two founders in the initial phase upon admission to YC and formation. Does it happen widely enough or it remains just a recommendation ? I get the reasoning behind it, which is to overcome deadlock scenarios. submitted by /u/Guitar1367 [link] [comments]
