We’re launching Startup Studio on Product Hunt today, feedback from founders appreciated

by

Hey PH community 👋

We just launched Startup Studio today.

It’s a platform we built after seeing the same problem repeat across early-stage founders:

  • months lost trying to find a technical cofounder

  • MVPs built fast but impossible to maintain

  • AI-generated products that don’t scale or stay secure

  • founders shipping without real visibility or ownership over the code

Startup Studio is our attempt to fix that by providing:

  • real full-stack infrastructure

  • AI agents + real developers

  • clarity for non-technical founders

  • code and infra ownership from day one

We’re not here to hype — we genuinely want feedback from people who’ve launched on PH or built products themselves.

If you’ve been through a PH launch (or a failed one 😅):

Happy to answer questions and learn from the community.

This resonates with me a lot. I've lost months rebuilding MVPs that weren't scalable. I like the focus on ownership and real infrastructure. From your PH experience, what surprised you most about founder feedback so far?

@karishma_yadav3 A founder who built his fintech MVP using Lovab.., and when he secured a letter of intent from a bank to purchase services, the product was hacked. I think there is very little awareness of what good infrastructure actually means, and many tools that seem magical don’t meet the real needs of startups.

I've launched on Product Hunt before and the hardest part was cutting through noise. Your message feels grounded and honest. The combo of AI plus real developers is interesting, how do you keep expectations realistic for founders?

Paula Schiffelbein

@jack_mark8 Hi Jack! The best advice for founders: focus on solving a single problem and validate one or two key hypotheses before trying to do more. In terms of expectations versus reality, we meet with many prospects and continuously adjust our communication to stay aligned with the purpose. Thanks for your response.

This hits close to home. I've shipped fast MVPs that became impossible to evolve. I like that you're emphasizing maintainability and ownership from day one. Wishing you a strong PH day, happy to follow your journey.

@vhim_jana Thanks so much, that’s exactly the pain we’re trying to address. Ownership and maintainability from day one are what let founders keep moving without starting over.

Really appreciate the support and the good wishes for PH

@paula_schiffelbein I can relate to this a lot as I'm going through this currently. It's been really hard to find a technical co-founder, and I'm building an MVP using AI tools, but I understand that I won't be able to maintain it for long. Startup Studio looks like the solution to me.
