Hey All,

The thesis of a 1-person Unicorn has been going around since the emergence of LLMs and Agents. While I certainly see how an engineer can now do the work of 10, maybe 20 engineers, I'm still not able to see the path to a $1B company.

Yesterday I met my friend after 2 years, and of course, after such a long time, we had a lot to talk about.

I was excitedly talking about technology and what AI can do, since he is not primarily from a tech background.

Yesterday (and today), I read from some makers that in their particular country, it is not easy to run a business.

We can all agree that each country has its obstacles.

Builders, for those of you who have launched on Producthunt or actively engage in comment sections; What is the ROI here? As a new user and builder myself, how do you get the most value out of this platform?

For those who've launched: How many people are actually following through with feedback, beta testing, or staying in contact long term? Are those 10-20% of people worth it?
For those active in threads: How do you get value? How often does the scratch my back and I'll scratch yours exchange actually take place/help? Are you just here to scroll?
If you come here looking for an answer, how much time do you spend looking for it before you go to the next platform? Is reddit the alternative?
If you have any good strategies, let me know!! Would love to learn more.
