This is a highly curated list of products that startups use. It's got contributions from over 1,000 founders from YC and venture backed startups. View your options and find the best products for your startup. Founderkit is also fun to use!
Founderkit is a reviews site for tools to help you build your startup. It started as a spreadsheet, which we shared with other founders, and quickly evolved into a full-fledged reviews site. It was clear that the data in that spreadsheet would be invaluable to other founders, so we had a duty to find a scaleable way to share it.
We’re excited to share Founderkit with you, to save you time or money while building your startup. If you join today, because you found us first, you’ll also get a Product Hunt easter egg in your profile.
Would love any and all thoughts! You can't hurt our feelings! 😁

Nice site. Can you speak to why you decided curation was the way to go? Versus something like Siftery that is based on customers using, industry and other "categorization" technique.
@ggnall hi Graham! I'm not sure that curation was the goal. While the list of services is shorter, anyone can rate anything they like. What we did pretty consciously decide on, however, was to put the founder community first, not try to build for everyone at once. What resulted was almost surprising, in terms of usefulness of the data. Founders were able to glance at the site, find exactly what they needed, and implement it, rather than be overwhelmed by options that aren't right for founders starting companies. Thanks! Hope you find the site useful!
Love it, very well designed and executed 👏
Community curated is something I believe is what's next for a lot of what's 'curated'. However, community curation is only as good as its community, and it seems this got that spot on. Especially love the YC badges to convey they know what they're talking about, however, why only YC?
I must admit that when we bought founderskit.co we started work on doing roughly the same for our community (community rated tools & more). As you can imagine, I'm looking forward to the overall response of the startup community!
@leonpals Hi Leons! Thanks so much for the kind words. To answer your question, if you browse around you'll actually find badges from 5+ groups of founders like YC (Slow Ventures, Upside Capital, and a bunch in the works). Hope you find the site useful!
@ryanm that's awesome, I browsed, but must have only saw tools with YC badges 🙊I definitely think it's useful, as there are so many startups for startups, that it's often a real chore to pick the right solution to a problem.
I found this copy to be slightly misleading, as I in fact don't need to join to get the reviews.
Rather the reason why I'd sign up for the app is tucked away in the top right corner.
