Launched StartupScan.ai on Product Hunt
95% of products launched on Product Hunt never reach product/market fit. With the rise of AI, I’ve seen the same pattern over and over—especially among early-stage founders: building before validating. It’s tempting. A strong idea, cutting-edge tools and the energy of innovation often lead straight to development. But: Technology alone doesn’t build a company A beta launch ≠ product/market fit...
Common pitfalls as a startup founder and how avoid them
Hi founders and builders 👋 Over the past few years, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat itself across dozens of startups, especially with the rise of AI: founders build before they validate. The temptation is real. You’ve got an exciting idea, powerful tools at your fingertips, and the buzz of innovation around you. So you jump into building, maybe even raising, before you’re truly ready. But...
Built with no-code, launched solo — here's why I made
Hey everyone, I'm Floris — a solo founder, no-code builder, and marketer by trade. After years of managing campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Slack, Notion, email threads, and way too many spreadsheets, I hit a breaking point.

There are plenty of tools out there — from spreadsheets and Notion to ClickUp, Trello, and even Figma — but we found that most require workarounds, integrations, or...

How do I get more upvotes? What's the secret behind Product Hunt?
Hey makers, I launched my product recently on Product Hunt. I put effort into the messaging, visuals, and value — and was honestly excited to share it. But after 24 hours, I’ve barely gotten any traction. A handful of upvotes, no meaningful feedback… just cold emails and offers from marketers. It’s hard not to feel a little discouraged. I keep seeing others get organic love, so I’m wondering:...
