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. 🤑

Founder Stories

Highlight

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. 🏠😽

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.

It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.

One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
