For founders who’ve thought, built, executed, and have users - what’s your mindset advice?

Coming up with Ideas is hard. Execution is harder. Getting users is harder still.

If you ve been through the full cycle - from idea to product in people s hands - you know it s not just tactics that matter. The mindset you carry shapes every decision, pivot, and late-night problem you face.

So I m curious:

If you ve built, shipped, and grown something, what s the one mindset shift that made the biggest difference for you?

Do you need corporate experience to build a great product in 2025?

Corporate life teaches you certain things:

  • Discipline

  • Arms you with skills

  • Working under pressure

  • Real world impact

  • Hitting deadlines

  • Managing multiple stakeholders

Some would call it a rite of passage, the training ground that prepares you for the chaos of building something from scratch.

Others say it s outdated. That you can learn just as much (or more) by jumping straight into indie building or startups.

How can you promote your Product Hunt launch offline?

This topic popped into my head because during holidays, vacations, and hot summer days, we re all a little less online, and it shows in the drop in upvotes and reach.

But that also got me thinking: maybe this is the perfect time to talk about your PH launch offline.

Is your product solving a real-world problem?

I was browsing Product Hunt the other day.

So many launches. Cool designs. Polished ideas. But something felt off.

I think it comes down to this:

Are we building for impact, or just building fast?

What makes a great product leader?

I ve been fascinated by leadership since I was a kid.

What makes someone a good leader? What makes someone worth following?

Over time, my understanding has evolved. It s not just about being smart or skilled... it's so much more than that.

If I had to define it today, I d say great product leaders are:

Should AI-written posts be labeled?

Not sure if this is a wild take, but

What if platforms like LinkedIn started labeling AI-written posts? Not to shame them.

Just to give people choice.

Some want clean, fast, optimized content. Others want messier, human, original stuff...

Do You Really Need a Co-founder?

Most startup advice says: don t go solo.

It s practically gospel, especially if you want to raise money.

But I ve met plenty of founders who started solo and stayed that way. Some thrived. Some flamed out. Some figured out how to build a support system around them without giving away half the company.

What’s your single biggest struggle right now with AI?

I m curious for anyone building products with AI in 2025. What s your single biggest struggle right now? Maybe it s noisy architecture drift when using AI-assistants. Or pricing surprises due to compute costs. Or struggling to retain trust in AI output. Drop your pain point and vote on how you're trying to handle it let s learn from real world experience. I am genuinely curious and would love to hear from you!

What's the hardest part about blazing a trail in your industry?

I'm interested to hear what everyone has to say about this! Especially in tech, the world and people's needs are constantly changing. This means that the products we're creating have to change with it, and the most successful products tell people what they need before they know they need it. As exciting as this is, it's super hard too. Reaching out to fellow trailblazers: what do you think about this? What are some of the tradeoffs?

What has been your most baffling social media moment?

Hey folks,
All of us who have done social media marketing have had atleast one such moment.

For me, movie memes with a random product insertion have had maximum impact as compared to a very thought out narrative about tips to balance working mom life.

That's the exact frustration that led us to build SchedulePosts.io - to actually understand what makes content work instead of just hoping and guessing.

Is talking about money in business taboo for you?

I ve always wondered how different cultures, companies, or individuals approach financial transparency in business. Some stay silent, others overshare.

Here are some trends I ve noticed:

Launching my first ever Product. How do you manage uncertainty and expectations?

Freaking out here. I feel like I ve done it, but I also feel like I m going to fail. Then I think, who cares, right? I did something.

You understand? It feels like my mind is mush.

I m excited, scared, confused.

This product isn t huge, but after a bachelor s, a master s, and a couple of jobs, it finally feels like I ve built something for someone.

Where did you meet your co-founder(s)?

I've tried a few online venues but none of them worked. If you met with your co-founder(s) online, where was it?

On the whole, I'm interested in education and career advising. Thanks!

which industry do you think is the riskiest to start a business, and which is flourishing?

With AI, it seems to be everything possible:

Everybody is a builder, maker, marketer, founder, (vibe)coder/developer.

Brainfish Raises $10M to Define the Future of Customer Support with Ambient AI

Customer support as we know it is fundamentally reactive. Users get stuck because of an unclear product flow or out of date help docs, submit tickets, wait for responses, and hope someone understands the context of their problem. Meanwhile, support teams spend their days answering the same questions over and over, never getting ahead of the real problems.

We all have that one tool - the unsung hero quietly doing its job and saving you hours every single week.
