This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.
First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.js.
The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.
This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources:
- Next.js Documentation - learn about Next.js features and API.
- Learn Next.js - an interactive Next.js tutorial.
You can check out the Next.js GitHub repository - your feedback and contributions are welcome!
The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js.

Our platform provides an easy and efficient way for entrepreneurs and investors to connect with each other. Here is a detailed workflow of how our platform works:
To register in the application, you need to provide the following information:
Email Password Or you can sign up with google authentication
Once you provide this information, it's time to specify your category. There are two categories:
Shark Investor
Founder will have to answer some question to get his startup registered on our platform
When a user submits a new startup, a Firebase Function is triggered that adds the startup data to our Firebase Firestore database.
To log in to your account, you need to enter your email and password. The database works to reach your account if it exists in our system. When a user logs in, a Firebase Function is called that verifies their credentials and returns a token that is used to authenticate subsequent requests.
Our platform has a posts page where startup can share their ideas and details about their startup. The more details provided from the startup, the better. Investors can browse through these posts and connect with the Pitchers whose ideas they find interesting.
A user can search for startups with a specific tag, a Firebase Function is called that queries the Firestore database and retrieves the relevant data.
We are constantly working on improving our platform to make it more user-friendly and efficient. In the future, we plan to add new features such as using machine learning models to predict the growth of each registered startup, video call rooms to connect investors and startups, and introducing a subscription model for registering on our platform.
We are currently working on integrating a machine learning model that can predict the growth of each registered startup on our platform. This will provide valuable insights to both the startups and investors, enabling them to make better informed decisions. Our machine learning model will take into account a variety of factors such as past performance, market trends, and competition to make accurate growth predictions.
To achieve this, we are utilizing the services of Google Cloud to build and deploy our machine learning model. Google Cloud provides us with a secure, scalable, and highly available infrastructure to train and deploy our model.
In order to facilitate communication between investors and startups, we are planning to introduce a video call room feature. This feature will allow registered startups to connect with interested investors and pitch their ideas in a more personal and interactive manner. Investors can also use this feature to ask questions and get more information about the startup they are interested in.
To ensure a seamless experience for our users, we are utilizing the services of AMD to provide high-performance video encoding and decoding capabilities. This will enable us to deliver high-quality video and audio streams to our users, regardless of their device or network speed.
To sustain and grow our platform, we are planning to introduce a subscription model for registering on our platform. This will allow us to generate revenue to cover our operating costs and invest in further development of the platform.
To ensure a secure and reliable subscription process, we are utilizing the services of Google Cloud for payment processing and user authentication. Google Cloud provides us with a highly secure and scalable infrastructure to process payments and authenticate users, ensuring a seamless and secure subscription experience for our users.
