Are builders so busy building businesses that starting a family isn’t a priority?

Most of my classmates from elementary school, high school, and university have been married for a long time and have had kids for at least 4  5 years.

But none of them started a business. They got jobs, their shift ends at 5 on Friday, and then they go enjoy their free time.

Did you choose to bootstrap or go the funding route and why?

Today's Product Hunt lineup genuinely surprised me in the best way.

TL;DR: As @aaronoleary said  one or more companies launching today will get a YC interview and potentially funding.

We just launched folks!

And of course, I don't need to explain the importance of PH with any of you. Would REALLY REALLY appreciate upvotes and comments.

Launch tomorrow and you could get a YC interview

If you re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.

YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.

Led content at a YCW20 | built a Personal AI Talent Agency for Content Creators

hey PH, so much good has come out of this community for me. Sharing something exciting we've been working really hard on for the past month.

tldr: 80% of Content creators in the 10k-1M range don't have professional agency representation and spend ~60% of their time on admin around brand deals (brand discovery, outreach, follow-ups, pricing), which is their main source of revenue, by the way. I have led content and growth at a YCw20 and have done ML at LinkedIn and found a burning intersection I can really help with. YC's RFS was pleasant timing as well.

Here's a demo: https://vimeo.com/1164079519?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

While I can point you guys to the platform immediately, unfortunately, we are jumping through CASA and other approvals on social media platforms (We connect with those to create a deep creator DNA and find the best fit brands), and literally need to onboard every user as a tester on our sandbox. But hey, do things that don't scale!

we are already working with 4 creators averaging 65k followers and seeing high quality inbound for them now.

if this is useful to anyone, we are onboarding a few more early access accounts (same approval limitation for a few weeks), then please let us know here: https://usesnippet.app

How much do you trust AI agents?

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.
