I have come across several statements such as: a single person cannot raise money on their own (you need to be in a team of at least 2 people), it is not worth it because there is pressure on you, etc.
What is your experience with raising money?
What did it give you, and who did you raise it from?
What do you think helped you to a large extent to get the raise?
My friends at @ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic are teaming up with @Sunnyside this October for the Soberish October Challenge, "a flexible way to reset on your own terms ahead of the holiday season."
I help founders like you turn product features into short, animated promos that explain value instantly and boost engagement on launch week. Quick idea: Imagine your feature X animated in 5 seconds showing the exact problem it solves people will stop scrolling, click, and sign up. I can whip up a demo clip for your product so you can see the impact before committing.
I am now on my 3. release on ProductHunt and right after the release I get a ton of people trying to connect on LinkedIn with the promise to boost my launch. By now I can spot the pattern a mile away: vague guarantees, exclusive pods, and a price tag that mysteriously appears in the second message. On launch day, when you re running on caffeine and hope, that shortcut looks shiny. But in my experience, it warps the signal you actually need: real reactions from people who might use what you built. What s helped more than any boost : Treating launch day like support day answering every question fast. Shipping a tight demo video and a clear what s new thread. Reaching out to existing users the week before with a simple note: Here s what changed. Anything confusing? Sharing in communities where I already show up the other 364 days. I m not anti-promotion; I m anti-fog. If something truly accelerates learning without faking momentum, I m all ears. There s probably nuance I haven t seen yet, and I m curious how other makers filter the noise. If you ve navigated this dance kept it clean, kept it effective how did you do it? What actually moved the needle for you on launch day (or the week after)?
Hi everyone! I'm Leah! I work in product operations, and I ve actually known about Product Hunt for quite a while. Over the past years, I ve discovered so many great products here, tried them out, and learned a lot from the community.
But this is my first time formally introducing myself So excited!
Right now, I m working with a small team on an early-stage idea an AI agent designed to help designers with their daily pain points. We re still in the exploration phase, so I m mainly here to listen, learn, and get inspired.
Really excited to finally be part of the conversation and connect with you all
Ask AI can now combine information from your inbox, your calendar, and the web. You can then draft emails in your own voice and tone, schedule events when you re free, and send all in one ask!
I shipped LangFast out of frustration with the existing tools.
Prompt testing and LLM evaluations should be simple and straightforward. All I wanted was a simple way to test prompts with variables and jinja2 templates across different models, ideally something I could open during a call, run few tests, and share results with my team.
TurboLens today announced a major upgrade to DocumentLens, its AI-powered document intelligence platform. With the introduction of a new Document Parsing capability and a deepened focus on Southeast Asia, DocumentLens is now one of the most powerful solutions for businesses handling the region's complex documents.
This enhancement introduces a powerful duo of capabilities:
Document Extraction: Intelligently pinpoints and pulls key data like invoice totals, customer IDs, and line items turning messy documents into structured, database-ready information.
NEW Document Parsing: This brand-new feature digitizes entire documents with high-accuracy OCR, making every word searchable. It is the perfect tool for digital archiving, compliance, and preparing data for LLMs.
We launched Ting a few weeks ago and I ve had a lot of people ask how we got noticed + grew the waitlist.
I wanted to share some of that here, but also zoom out into how we re thinking about building and growing at the same time - so I wrote a longer piece about it.
As a data engineer who has little experience in full-stack software development, I ve been experimenting with vibe coding tools to move fast in the early stages.
My flow looked like this:
Prototyped the main UI in V0 (after 300+ iterations/conversations back and forth)

I m currently working on creating a curated collection of AI tool aggregator websites, similar to WebCatalog. This will be a handy resource for users who are looking to quickly access these AI tools and platforms.
Additionally, this collection will serve as a valuable reference for advertisers and investors looking to find AI products that align with their target audiences. The idea is to make it easier for everyone to discover, access, and invest in top AI platforms!
While You re Still Planning Your Competitors Are Already Launching
The Problem
Many founders and investors have great ideas and funding but products remain stuck in planning. Meanwhile, competitors launch MVPs, talk to real users, and raise more capital.
Let's talk about that uninvited guest that shows up around month 3 of building your startup. You know the one. You started with fire in your belly, convinced you're building the next big thing. Then slowly, quietly, it creeps in:
