šŸ‘‹ Hey Product Hunt Community! I’m Shreyans, founder of Makersfuel. Big thanks to this wonderful community and super excited to finally launch Makersfuel here today! 🚩 Why We Built Makersfuel Having built startups myself, I know first-hand the pain founders experience in the earliest stages—limited time, stretched-thin resources, and constantly juggling multiple roles alone. The result? Important work slips, teams struggle, and promising ventures never get a shot. Studies speak clearly: 90% of startups fail, often due to resource gaps, execution challenges, and difficulty building the right team (23%) or rising costs (18%). I knew there had to be a better way. šŸŽÆ Our Solution – Makersfuel Makersfuel is a gamified startup accelerator that lets founders overcome common struggles by structuring their startup-building journey into guided tasks, community-powered accountability, and rankings that make entrepreneurship fun, motivating, and manageable. With Makersfuel, startup-building feels less overwhelming and more achievable: āœ… šŸ“Œ 600+ Curated Tasks (idea validation, MVP building, user acquisition, investor prep) āœ… āš”ļø Earn XP & Stamina Points (gamified structure keeps you accountable and focused) āœ… šŸ† League Rankings (start at normal league, climb weekly, unlock better perks) āœ… šŸ›”ļø Weekly Clans (get matched weekly with other founders for cross-learning & accountability) āœ… 🌱 Transparent, Community-Driven Journey (build openly, share progress, learn, celebrate together) šŸŽ® How It Works - Gamified Accelerator: Choose tasks: Complete structured steps, earn XP points and level-up. Unlock achievements: Progress through levels and unlock powerful startup-building resources. Join positive competition: Climb through weekly leagues and track your journey openly. Squad up weekly: Gain insights & new ideas from diverse perspectives within your random weekly clan. šŸ’¬ Building in Public – Join Our Community: We strongly believe the startup journey shouldn’t be lonely. Makersfuel offers topic-specific discussion channels, founder-focused mentorship modules, and transparent building. Founders openly showcase progress, get direct peer feedback, and learn together to avoid pitfalls—no need to go at it alone. šŸ¤– About Me (Maker Behind the Launch): I’ve been passionate about startups and innovation from the beginning. First with Assistiv.ai, empowering businesses with AI-driven productivity tools, and now Makersfuel, taking that same passion into helping founders get past their earliest hurdles. My personal drive is to simplify complexity through technology and build transformative communities that help people thrive. We’re early and rapidly iterating—your feedback is super valuable. Drop a comment and share your thoughts, feature ideas, or anything startup-related; I’ll personally reply to everyone here 😊. Excited to see how far each of us can go—happy building! Warmest, Shreyans Bhansali Founder @ Makersfuel

Hey folks! Sachin here—I'm one of the co-founders at Makersfuel, building this alongside Shreyans šŸš€


Wanted to quickly shine a light on something we’ve been super intentional about at Makersfuel:

šŸ“š Tasks + Templates = Smoother, faster startup execution

We're not just listing out what founders should do—we're actually giving you the tools to do it, right there and then. Each task comes with ready-to-use templates that make life a whole lot easier.


āœ… Plug-and-play docs: Whether it’s pitch decks, outreach emails, user surveys, or investor updates—no need to reinvent the wheel.


āœ… Real examples: Every template comes loaded with best practices and examples, so you’re never stuck staring at a blank page.


āœ… Built for momentum: Less overthinking, more building.


Would genuinely love to hear what kind of templates would be most useful for your startup journey. We’re always around for a chat 😊


Cheers,
Sachin Sharma

@shreyans_assistiv anytime. Looks amazing!

Hayato.C

It's truly amazing!
I also see a lot of potential in gamification, and I believe that it's precisely because they're games—like Habitica and Duolingo—that people can keep going!
I'm excited and looking forward to itšŸŽ‰

Sachin Sharma

@hayato_c Thanks so much! You're absolutely right - games like Habitica and Duolingo prove that adding those game elements can make consistency so much more achievable!

Pranay Bansal
Launching soon!

I am a big fan of gamified approach. It's a huge motivator for me because I am a gamer as well (DMC, Sekiro and Witcher being my favorite in case anyone's interested šŸ˜Ž) Great work Shreyans and Sachin! Congratulations on the launch!


Oh, love the visuals btw.

Sachin Sharma

@pranay12  Thanks Pranay!! We want to add more gamified visuals as we go to get the true sense of gaming approach in a founder oriented platform. Please share any feedback or comments that you may have, especially about gamifying the platform further.

Love the concept! Gamifying the startup journey while keeping it community-driven is a game-changer. Excited to see Makersfuel help founders stay motivated without the overwhelm. šŸš€šŸ”„

Shreyans Bhansali

@bhavya_wade Thank you Bhavya, I was making my working on my startup fun, hopefully it can do the same for other founders too.

Oleg Sobolev

as a founder I can relate, burnout is a serious issue. If there's something that can actually prevent that - that's gonna be gold

Sachin Sharma

@oleg_sobolev Hi Oleg, I think all the founders can relate to the burnout issue and having a community of founders that can help each other grow through them would be an elite thing to have. We are using a gamified approach to do so, with more gamification coming in out roadmap. Hopefully this will help the founders out there to stay motivated and push through.

Waldemar Sojka

Looks great, I will definitely give it a try for my next project.


PS. Sign-in with Gmail would be a nice feature.

Shreyans Bhansali

@waldemarsojka Thank you so much for considering us. We purposefully avoid sign in with Gmail, to push people to sign up with custom domain email address. This helps us quality control and provide the best environment for startup founders,
