I keep seeing the same pattern across early-stage teams:
the MVP works until it really doesn t.
For many founders, the hardest part isn t getting something online it s everything that comes after: infra that cracks under real users code that no dev wants to touch rewriting the whole stack AI-built projects no one can maintain the moment you realize your prototype isn t a product
For the past few months, there has been discussion in Europe about creating a concept like EU Inc. (the 28th regime) a single pan-European legal company structure with:
100% online incorporation
extremely fast setup (target: ~48 hours)
operation across the entire EU without needing to establish 27 separate companies
a digital-first corporate lifecycle
So far, within Europe, people most often set up companies in Estonia, mainly due to its low tax burden and fully digital infrastructure, as well as in countries like the Czech Republic, Slovakia, or Hungary.
Hey all, we just released a few updates to product hubs with a focus on converting visitors to your website/apps/social, and providing the right information to community members who are researching new products. As an example, here's Notion's product hub: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... (you can access your product hubs in the new sidebar on the homepage) The header was re-focused on driving conversions, followers, and saves. We ve removed upvote counts and focused on reviews + followers on the hub pages; while upvotes are important for launch day, we ve found that they re not necessarily a highly correlated signal for overall product quality, especially for community members researching products months (or years) after a launch. The updated sidebar displays links, product info, and makers more prominently, and the rest of the page has been simplified with an additional focus on reviews (currently sorted by recent, so make sure you re encouraging your community to leave reviews). As always, Product Hunt is in a constant state of change, so let us know what you think about these changes and if you have any suggestions or recommendations moving forward!
Common Sense Media published a report on this topic, and it reminded me of how big a bubble I live in.
When Meta announced back in 2024/2025 that they wanted to create AI avatars to boost engagement, I was skeptic, but data speaks clearly young people enjoy AI interaction.
