Are startup accelerators still worth it in 2025?

Lately there s been a growing wave of skepticism around VCs, Y Combinator, and accelerators in general. And to be fair: I get it.

We now live in an age where almost everything you need to learn can be found online. The gatekeepers are fewer, the knowledge is everywhere, and solo builders have never been more empowered.

Would you share product updates on Product Hunt between launches?

Hey Makers! Jamie from the Product Hunt team here. Launches are a way to share big milestones for your team over the course of many months of work, but there are so many smaller updates in between that might be interesting to share and connect with the community. We re exploring some new ways to make posting product updates more frequent, and we're curious to hear from you on what would help you most. Makers, if you had a way to post incremental product updates (written, video, or some other way), would you do it? Product enthusiasts, would you find these updates an interesting way to follow along with your favorite makers so they don t become long lost friends you haven t heard from in 6 months? Fill out the poll and comment below with your thoughts.

How would you launch a non-AI product today?

Hey folks,

I launched about 20 products on Product Hunt, but in 2026 it's been a bit difficult for me to schedule a new launch.

If you were to lose your job right now, what would you do?

I should probably start Monday more optimistically, but let's take it as a little creative exercise.

I see people on Reddit complaining that jobs are really hard to get. With the use of AI technologies, the situation won't be any easier.

How did you acquire your first paying customer?

Getting early customers for your product isn't easy - they need to buy into your vision and get a ton of value from your product. Let me know if you have any inspiring (or lucky ) stories about how you attracted and closed on your first paying customer!

Does faking MRR really help a business grow? [mini-case study example]

This is rooted in psychology.

When you show that there is enormous interest in something, a crowd of people will flock and want to see it.

I woke up this morning, and X was full of this message:

Cursor or Claude Code?

I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!

What is the best feature of your product and how would you describe it?

We sell daily.

Not only in our business life, but also in our personal life.

What we need to do is convince people that our product or our personality is the best possible option they can choose from.
