If you live in India, you already know how challenging makeup can be in hot and humid weather. Sweat, oil, and stickiness make your face feel heavy, and foundation starts melting by afternoon.

Mid-day touch-up A small touch-up with spinz bb powder is enough to look fresh again.

Hi HN,

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.
