While flying to Argentina to visit my family for the New Year, I scrolled through my phone and realized how much happened since we launched Pretty Prompt on Product Hunt 7 months ago.
On June 14, 2023, the European Parliament officially voted to ban unpaid internships.
This honestly made me happy, because I remember how, during college, I was expected to spend a full 2 months working full-time at an advertising agency as an unpaid intern (Spoiler alert: I fought for and got some pay ), but that wasn t the norm.
Everyone has their favourite routine to perform at their best.
Some are advocates for the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of intensive work, with a 5-minute short break), others love time-blocking, a few plan the entire week on Sunday, and there are even people who say ice-cold showers la Wim Hof help them focus.
Most people use AI to write emails. Our 50k+ users use MindPal to clone their brains into shareable AI agents & multi-agent workflows for their team, clients, audience and community.
We turn your SOPs and intelligence into multi-agent workflows that scale infinitely.
We launched 2pr.io on Product Hunt today, and I wanted to share how drastically the product evolved in just 6 months since our first version.
What changed:
1/ Multi-account management - Perfect for B2B teams and freelancers managing client profiles (launching today!) 2/ Complete content cycle coverage - Now includes full LinkedIn analytics via official API, not just post creation
My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed: 1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.
Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed. 2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.
Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.
I ve spent the last few years working closely with sales teams, and one thing never changes, we often start talking too soon.
A potential customer shares one small detail, and we immediately jump into explaining, pitching, or convincing. But the truth is: most people don t need more information, they just need to feel understood. When we slow down and listen really listen the conversation changes completely. They open up. They tell you what s actually holding them back. And suddenly, closing the deal isn t about persuasion anymore, it s about alignment.
I've been making short films for as long as I can remember.
My first short was back in middle school, where my brother and I pretended we were in Star Wars, dueling with dowel rod lightsabers. By the time I met my co-founders, Spencer and Charlie, in college, my storytelling had (I hope) evolved well past my VFX-obsessed origin story.
We met on the set of a feel-good student short I directed last fall. But this wasn t backyard filmmaking anymore. We quickly got stuck in a hellish landscape of spreadsheets. Nobody s availability lined up, everyone was overwhelmed, and it took forever to finish the film.
