Early traction, but blocked by payments and funding. What would you do?

Hey PH fam I launched Lumoar (B2B SaaS startup) three weeks ago and we have already seen over 100 users sign up and lots of positive feedback. It s clear there is a demand and I feel there s potential in this. But now I have hit a wall. Because of my country, international payment platforms like Stripe or PayPal don t provide API access so I can t monetize or implement a paid plan right now. I ve talked to some investors, but they expect initial capital or revenue before they d consider funding. Bootstrapping got me this far, but moving forward without monetization or investment is getting really difficult. If you ve dealt with something like this (or just have thoughts), I d love to hear: What would you do in this situation? Any creative approaches, funding workarounds, or even alternative payment methods I should look into? Appreciate any advice

What’s something non-technical that improved your product more than code?

For us, it was rewriting our onboarding copy.

We spent weeks building features, fixing bugs, tweaking flows but people still dropped off after signing up.

Then one night, I rewrote the first three screens to sound more human. Less Welcome to [App]! and more:

Let s help you stop stressing about what to wear.

Hey Product Hunt Community!

What s the single best piece of advice you d give to a new founder or early-stage team?

It could be about product, growth, funding, mindset - anything that made a difference for you or that you wish you knew sooner.

How well do you know your products?

Hi there! :)

I'm at my first PH launch today, and stumbled upon a question I thought could have been interesting to share. I'm sorry in advance if this sounds like a noob question to product experts, but that's exactly what I currently am :D

So my company just launched Bench for Claude Code here: it's an observability tool that logs, stores, and lets you share everything your Claude Code instances do.

Voice is the new keyboard. But where’s the Ctrl+Z?

We keep saying voice is the future of interfaces but what s the voice equivalent of undo? Tab-complete? Soft delete?

I ve been nerding out on Voice-first UX lately. Not just commands, but command language. What s the grammar of good voice control?

Would love to hear what others are exploring here.

Ear (3) or AirPods Pro 3: Which would you pick?

Both AirPods Pro 3 and Ear (3) launched this month. I m curious what folks would get? I really like the design of Ear (3) and I can see myself using the Super Mic on the case a lot but . From seeing all the reviews on the AirPods Pro 3 it seems that their quality of sound, ANC, and microphone is better. So might have to pick those as the winner for me. What does everyone else think?

Reached out for launch support, ended up onboarding new PH users instead

So this happened and I'm still processing it lol

We've been launching stuff on Product Hunt since last year, and like everyone else, I hit up old friends asking for support. You know how it goes.

Anyway, I met up with a few of them recently and they started thanking me. I'm sitting there thinking "aw that's sweet, they liked our product!"

But nope. They were thanking me for introducing them to Product Hunt itself. Apparently they've been addicted to it ever since, checking it daily for new AI tools.

What current activities in your business are not replaced by AI yet.

I think that the most affected by AI were:

creating content (text, photos, now video)

creating the code
simplifying the process via AI agents (e.g. agenda)
