Epic founder stories, from Snapchat to Spanx 💰

You won't become a founder by reading a book, but you can learn from other people’s challenges, successes, and journey starting up.

This collection of Founder Stories has some interesting resources to learn from as you navigate through your own journey in startups.

Notable highlights:
• The Careers of the Founders (a timeline)
• The Speed of a Unicorn (not miles per hour)
• From Millions to Billions (see image above)
• This is for the Crazy Ones (also for sane ones)

Lastly, learn how developers are writing their own paychecks. 🤑

We created a Product Hunt for Google Home integration! Say, "Hey Google, talk to Product Hunt" (or just "Product Hunt") to get the day's top hunts dictated. 🏠😽

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
