About

I'm Faysal, founder of Clarno. I built a brokerage, scaled it 27×, and exited on my own terms. Now I'm using what I learned about risk modeling to help indie founders validate their startup ideas before they waste months building. Clarno is a simulation tool that helps founders think through the user, pain, wedge, and product path before committing real product and GTM effort.

Do you launch your product in other directories besides Product Hunt as well? What's the strategy?

So far, I ve come across three types of people:

  1. Those who focus entirely on their Product Hunt launch.

  2. Those who spread their launches out over time for example, launching on other platforms throughout the month.

  3. Those who launch everywhere on the same day which, in my opinion, would be suicide. :D

What s your launch strategy?

If you re launching on multiple platforms, what do you do first?

Do you ask for AI outputs less money? How do you handle price for such AI creations?

In a local Facebook group, people from my country had a pretty interesting discussion about how they justify charging a higher price for an output generated by AI.

Since AI came on the scene, we kind of expect the job to be done faster with less effort and the result is satisfactory. Does that mean the buyer has the right to ask for a lower amount?

What's the PROBLEM your product solves?

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)
