I'm amazed by the number of products that launch on PH every day. I think it would be cool to know what inspired you to build your product.

For me, I desperately was trying to solve my own problems and frustrations. For nearly 20 years that I'm building online communities, I realised that our competition didn't solve for the two most basic problems:

1. Organic Growth

2. User Retention

One of the biggest questions every early-stage founder faces today is: How do I launch my startup in this new era of AI-driven product development? It s so easy to build quickly now. Do I build first or validate first?

Personally, I ve seen hundreds of startups born in the past year. I m a grad student at MIT, and I created an AI accelerator for MIT and Harvard, so a lot of those startups have had amazing founding teams. I want to share some of the best practices I m seeing for getting products into market in an era where a lot of the old best practices seem to be shifting.
