ProofStories — Real founder validation stories with actionable insights + Startup directory

👋 Hey Hunters,

I’m Avneesh, and I wanted to introduce ProofStories — a platform where founders share their real validation journeys.

Why? Because starting up is messy. Most of the time you’re just guessing. ProofStories cuts through the noise with:

✅ Honest founder stories on how they validated ideas, got their first users, and scaled

✅ A curated directory of validated startups with real traction + playbooks you can learn from

✅ A growing community of builders sharing what actually works (and what doesn’t)

I started this because I wanted to stop “building in the dark” — and realized there are tons of founders who feel the same.

Not launching here (yet), just saying hi 👋 and inviting fellow builders, founders, and curious humans to check it out, explore the directory, or even share your own story.

Would love your feedback, ideas, or even just to hear what you’re working on too! 🚀
