Hey Product Hunt 👋 , Kyle here - founder of TokenFund
Over the past year, I kept starting projects after project,
then i killed them.
Not because i couldn’t build them, but because I didn’t want to keep paying for api credits out of my own pocket.
If you’re building with openai, Claude, or any other ai api, you know the feeling:
• you’re pre-revenue
• you are still validating
• you don’t want to charge users yet
• but your app is literally burning money
so i built TokenFund.
TokenFund lets your community directly "Fund the infrastructure behind what you build".
Supporters don’t donate randomly, instead they fund actual usage.
builders get:
• A public funding page
• Transparent usage tracking
• Infrastructure covered
• Early supporters who are invested in the project
this is especially for:
– Indie hackers
– Student founders
– AI builders
– Anyone validating before revenue
We’re launching with a small founding cohort of projects and I’d love feedback from this community.
If you’re building something that burns API credits, I’d love to hear about it.
If you’re someone who likes supporting early builders, check the projects out.
Happy to answer anything about:
– How it works
– Usage tracking
– Security
– Or why I decided to build this
Appreciate you all 🙏
— Kyle K
