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. 🏠😽

If your AI product has an onboarding step that says "tell us about your business" — your users are lying to you. Not maliciously. They just write whatever sounds good in the moment, skip half the fields, and click next.

Brandfetch's Brand Context API gives you structured brand data for 50M+ brands in a single call: voice,mission, positioning, audience, competitors, all of it. Pre-fill your onboarding before the user types a word.

Ground your AI features so they stop hallucinating about the brands your LLM barely knows. It's the scraping pipeline most teams never get around to building, already built. 100 free calls, no credit card.
