💸 When is a product/maker ready to raise money?

At what point does a product become ready to talk to investors?

When you have users?
Revenue?
A clear business model?
A certain number of people using it?

Especially for solo or small-team makers, it feels twice as hard to reach all of these points alone - while continuing to build the product without income and bootstrapping everything.

At some point, it starts to feel like an infinite loop:

How do you actually find good products here?

I joined product Hunt recently and feel a bit lost. between daily launches, upvotes, collections, and comments, it is hard to tell useful tools apart from products that just got votes from friends.
I am also unsure about the general etiquette. is lurking and upvoting standard, or should i be commenting? Do makers reply to questions from new users?
How did you navigate the site when you first joined? What habits help you filter out the noise and spot genuinely good tools?

Does anyone else miss when Product Hunt felt less repetitive?

Browsing Product Hunt over the last few years, it feels like the variety has completely shrunk. It used to be normal to run into strange browser extensions, niche hardware projects, or random little tools built to fix super specific problems. Nowadays, almost every page is packed with productivity apps and similar tech wrappers.

I am not saying those tools are useless, but I definitely miss the random surprises. I miss seeing weird projects that made you click just out of pure curiosity to figure out why someone made them.

Is this just a natural side effect of current software trends, or have you noticed the homepage feeling a bit copy-paste lately too?
