17 years building companies, now building Ember Origin

Hey Product Hunt Community :)

I’m Joffroy, founder of Ember.

I’ve spent 17+ years building companies, including co-founding Finalcad, which grew to 200+ people and raised over $70M.

After that journey, I started working closely with founders and scale-ups. Across 100+ entrepreneurs, I kept seeing the same thing: very different companies, very similar mistakes.

Wrong timing. Wrong priorities. Hiring too fast. Raising too early. Building before really understanding the problem.

That became the starting point for Ember: an AI second brain and team of AI agents for founders.

I’m here to meet other makers, learn how you’re building, and share what I’ve learned along the way.

Curious: what are you building right now?
