Could you build this?
Partial The random-pairing UI is easy to vibe-code, but live video needs WebRTC infrastructure that holds up at scale, and founder verification is a trust and compliance problem that code alone does not solve.
What it would actually take: Build the matching queue and UI on top of a managed WebRTC provider such as LiveKit, Daily, or Twilio, with Postgres for state and a simple hop/next flow. The hard parts are reliable verification of founder status (identity checks, manual review, or partner data) and moderation and abuse prevention for anonymous video, which need trust-and-safety operations rather than just engineering.
