Getting early users is one thing, but convincing them to pay is a whole different challenge. For founders, marketers, and makers: - What worked best for you in getting those first 100 paying customers?
- Did you focus on cold outreach, content, referrals, or something else?
- Any unexpected strategies that worked surprisingly well?
-What mistakes should early-stage founders watch out for? Let s share real stories and tips to help others on this journey!
We noticed that many upvotes were removed from our Product Hunt launch, and we re trying to understand why. Could this be because our product wasn t featured, or are there other reasons behind it? Has anyone else faced a similar issue? Any insights on how Product Hunt moderates upvotes would be helpful!
Hey fellow hunters Today I am launching SaaSCurate - a community-driven platform where SaaS founders help each other grow their products. Here's the link: https://www.producthunt.com/post... I'd love to see new SaaS founders join in on the fun!
For me these are the two most exciting things: 1. Will cash out big time from the crypto markets.
2. My goal to generate revenue with a product that I built and helps people. What's yours?
Share the name of your product, a brief description of how it will help the community, and your launch date, and let's support each other and hunt together. Let's get connected on Linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/boyuan_qian

Growing SaaS is hard, but it shouldn't be. I am launching SaaSCurate on Product Hunt - a community-driven platform where SaaS founders help each other grow their products. If you're a SaaS founder looking to grow, would love for you to check out our upcoming launch: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
There was a lot of talk in 2023 and 2024 about startups using a one-time payment model, but earlier this year, I started to see founders going back to subscriptions. What do you think?
Product Hunt is great for launches, but what about long-term visibility? AI directories, marketplaces, and niche communities can help attract users over time. Which platforms have worked best for you in terms of traffic, signups, or conversions? Any underrated ones that more founders should explore? Let s discuss!
Have you searched for a co-founder, or are you looking for one now? Many products try to help, but even success stories like YC s Co-founder Match may be a case of survivor bias. At the same time, I often see startups working on similar ideas to mine. Some founders have strong VC expertise, while I bring product and management experience. What if, instead of competing, we joined forces? If we re all early-stage startups, merging is still simple there s no complex cap table yet, no heavy commitments. But most matching platforms only introduce you to a person based on skills and interests. What if you met someone who is already solving a similar problem? Someone who is building, facing the same challenges, and actively working on a complementary solution? Currently, Unicorns Club has profiles of many solo founders who are building similar things. I m thinking what if we gave them a way to match and connect? Instead of two separate projects, they could create one but 10X stronger because the right people working together can achieve exponentially more than individuals alone. What do you think, guys? Do you need this feature?
