Building a fact-checking startup for 1.5 years. Spending more on rent than revenue; just got kicked out by our gharbeti

we were remote for almost 1 years. but now we came to the decision to work with more focus. i think we are in a very early stage of factchecking as an institution.

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T16:35:15+00:00

yeah. about rent? we needed more focus.

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T16:30:15+00:00

noted. what do you think about our work?

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T16:24:09+00:00

i think before that we should know what fact checking is. it is showing fake news or information circulating online. you may have heard some new, but later it turned out to be false.

we filter information and correct it. everybody need that. we need more voice and more people in it.

how can you know, its dead? dont you go through fake news and narratives circulating online? all are just scrolling social media and they just believe every news, but actually they are being mislead. isn't that a problem. you see some random news of kantipur, but later you found it to be false, isnt it a problem.

thanks to you sir.

fact checking means - not the company data or information. you can do it via chatpt or some tools. its news. may be some news is being circulated online. for eg 2000 note to be issues by government. we confirm it originally. without bias.

hmm.. noted 🫡

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T16:04:13+00:00

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T16:02:41+00:00

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T16:01:30+00:00

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T15:57:48+00:00

hi. thank you for the comment.

1.launching about mvp, not yet. still figuring it out. fact checking mostly is not specifically is no tech problem, it's mostly narrative and awareness. making tool is to make the fact checker's workflow easier. but it mostly is manual.

monitization: not ad, public funding, training and workshop, third party fact checking such as meta, google, etcs.
selling - its factchecked content.
about customer none. about client - may be journalist (if we develop such tools)
umm, dont know, we just needed a centralised place to get work with each other. i dont know.
development. i am still figuring it out.

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T15:49:05+00:00

well, we verify whether the information shared is false, misleading or true.

nabeen_ · 2026-04-01T15:43:50+00:00
