I've seen a couple of influencer platforms around ecommerce, but very little or non exist for backing founders - closest is probably https://gigastar.io/. So I've been toying with an idea and finally built a rough version at kovant.club (bigger current concept at https://kovant.club/home).

The core concept is a closed club where founders get distribution without upfront cash, and influencers earn a royalty on the actual lifetime value of customers they refer for up to 2 years. If the startup wins, the influencer wins big. If not, they still get 1/10x of the delivered value. The key is an SDK that tracks every referral's LTV over time primarily scoped to 3 months (still working out the maths).

The signal is intentionally high: founders would need a 60%+ score on something like https://www.build-check.com by @german_merlo1 and must also be referred by an existing influencer/founder.

Would love to get your honest takes. Of course it doesn't work for all influencers/founders but I feel it will genuinely help a lot of founders who have real value to offer.
Two questions I have for PH founders:

I joined LinkedIn in 2010 but never took the platform seriously. I began my experimentation with LinkedIn around July 2026 and have grown my follower count by ~3K since then.

LinkedIn rewards consistency. That's it. That's the whole algorithmic hack you're looking for.

Hello PH community! I'm dev behind ClarifierAI. It's an IOS app that was praised by many users. 610 installs, 3.09% instal -> paid conversion. Launching this Sunday (12 Apr) and i would really love to get support from users who love the product.

If you're not familiar with the product you can check how it works without installing it tryclarifier.app

Thank you!

I m Gledi, and I m building Zolo, a local discovery app for the moment when you want to do something but don t know what. You tell it your mood and where you are, and it returns a short list of places matched to your taste instead of a long page of ranked results. When you can t pick, Surprise Me chooses for you, and Weekend Planner and Trip Planner are there for the times you do want something laid out. There s a free plan, and it s live now.

The idea comes from a frustration I think most people share: deciding where to go often takes longer than going. I kept watching evenings disappear into scrolling reviews and group chats that never landed on a plan. Zolo is my attempt at a middle path. It keeps the places short and good, leaves the decision with you, and only plans when you ask it to.

It s early, and I d rather say so plainly. I m a solo founder and a student, the product is young, and I m still learning what people want from it. I m starting with college students, who are often new to an area, working with a small budget, and willing to try things.

Here s what I m working on next. The first is making saved lists the center of the experience, because a saved-places list shouldn t become a graveyard of spots you never visit. The second is a Smart Route Builder for Premium that takes the places you ve chosen and puts them in a sensible order, with travel times and directions, so a day out doesn t mean crossing town three times. After that comes a more useful free tier and light ways to see where friends are headed, without Zolo turning into a social feed. An iOS app follows once the website is solid.

A writer's stack:
Scrivener, Reedsy, QueryTracker, Vellum, Grammarly, Prowritingaid, Draft2Digital, Mailchimp (email), Reddit / Discord (community).
But what if, here me out, these were all on one platform? Writing, community management / engagement, and publishing?
That's exactly what Lorec.io is for.
I'm looking for all the help I can get in obtaining feedback and making a platform as powerful for writers as possible, because I'm a writer and I need a powerful tool!
This is your opportunity to be a part of a community that can contribute to all your writing pain points. But the platform is nothing without you! Seriously, I need users to jump on get publish books! It's such an exciting time in technology, let's use these tools to create beautiful works!
And no, there is NO AI usage.

I'm Stas, co-founder of Hintli.

We built an AI guide that lives on your website. It answers buyer questions from your own content, drives the page (scrolls, highlights the right section, fills forms), handles objections, and books the demo. It's not a chatbot it actually guides people through the buying decision.

It's for complex B2B SaaS teams whose site loses qualified visitors who can't get answers fast enough.

Right now we're onboarding our first 3 5 founding partners. You get full product access for free during the pilot, we set it up with you directly, and you lock in early pricing later. Setup is one script tag live in minutes, no API key to start, no Salesforce. It's already running on a design partner's live site.

Hey Product Hunt community!

As an independent developer, I frequently set up fresh Windows workstations and lab machines, and I got tired of three recurring problems:

1. Windows installer collisions (msiexec locking up when running concurrent downloads).

2. Clunky PC maintenance tools bloated with ads and tracking.

I ve always been terrible at keeping track of things I find online.

I m building steer, an AI work assistant, launching here on Nov 22. Before then, I d like to think through one design question with people who d actually use it.

steer already captures meetings from your device, turns them into notes and to-dos, and follows up across your tools.
The new part is agent-to-agent negotiation: your agent talks to other people s agents to find someone you need (a hire, a client, a mentor), checks the fit, and only brings back the matches worth your time. Nobody sees who you are until you approve.

The hard part isn t the matching. It s trust. So I d like to hear from you:

• Would you let your agent chat with strangers agents for you? What s off-limits?

• Do you want to okay every step, or just the final sure, let s meet ?

• If your agent could find you one person this month, who would it be?

Hi everyone,

I m currently working on a travel tech project called Xplania, designed to simplify the way people organize their trips and reduce the decision fatigue that often comes with travel planning.

I recently created a beta prototype with features such as:

• budget guide

• visa guide

• smart packing list

• travel journal
