Just to introduce myself, I'm greg.

I'm an ex-founder, now doing IT consulting and fractional CTO stuff, and recently started building beanies.family because my family needed a way to stay organized (or, I did).

I am Maxim, tech startup hound. I am working on a platform and products which allow co-founders and their angels to meet at a table where they stay focused on products, gradually build their IP, be prepared for pivots and skip the need to hang over the abyss.

I am at a chapter when there is an internally built product which is going to be launched here at PH over time. It practically defines platform maturity and aims to connect with co-founders in orthogonal verticals to leverage such founding tools.

I got a degree in Electrical Engineering and worked in the power industry for 2 years, in my free time got certified as a pilates instructor. 6 months ago I quit my engineering job to develop a vision I've had stuck in my head. I've been growing Embody by Alexandra which is a personalized pilates app. Ironically enough compared to everything else on product hunt, it's intentionally built to create a personal experience for the user without using AI.

It's built to be a space to consistently show up for yourself, in an environment that feels genuine and personal.

but wanted to say Hi! Currently trying to understand more about the platform as I look to launch my product.
Is there a specific HR/Talent Group here that I can engage with first?
Looking forward to connecting with you

Hi everyone! I'm a new maker here. I've been following Product Hunt for a while and finally decided to join the community. I'm currently working on an AI tool for education, but today I'm just here to learn from you all and support some cool launches. Looking forward to connecting!

I'm Anas solo founder building RentPerk, a UK fintech that turns rent payments into rewards and credit-building for renters. Think: you pay rent, you earn points, your credit score goes up automatically. Nobody has built this in the UK yet and I've spent the last several months figuring out why and whether I can fix it.

I wanted to start a thread because the last few months have been genuinely wild and I suspect a lot of founders here are navigating similar things. A few of the more interesting corners I've ended up in:

The regulated sector problem. Building in fintech means you can't just ship. Before a single tenant pays a penny of rent through RentPerk, I needed to appoint an MLRO, draft an AML policy, register with the ICO, negotiate an EMI partnership, and get legal sign-off on Terms of Service and a Privacy Policy. I did all of it as a solo non-technical founder. Happy to share what I learned and what I'd do differently.
