Hi everyone,


Buildpad is our response to failed products.


It’s a platform where founders are guided by our AI through a 7 step process.


The process starts with identifying a real problem to solve. This is crucial if you want to build something that people will use and pay for.


Then it continues with defining a product, finding your target audience, verifying that they would actually pay for the product, setting up a business strategy, a brand, and finally building the product.


We launched the first version of Buildpad 7 months ago and have since then helped 8,000+ founders.


The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and they have helped us make the platform even better.


So if you’re at the point of wanting to build a new product or perhaps rethink an old one, give Buildpad a try.


You can start with the first 2 phases completely free.

@davidheikka congrats on the launch. An interesting product for soon to be founders.

Supa Liu

Sounds like every solo founder’s dream! Love the structured approach—starting from problem validation all the way to building. Excited to see how Buildpad empowers more makers to launch with confidence. 🚀

David Heikka

@supa_l Yes! Solo founders and small teams are the absolute majority of our users.

This looks very well thought out. There has been individuals/businesses consulting for this but productizing it, sounds great. I haven't really gotten through everything yet but looks very promising. How has been the response from other founders so far?


All the best for a great launch today! @davidheikka @felixheikka

@davidheikka  @neelptl2602 Thank you, Neel! The response from founders using Buildpad has been great so far. We get a lot of feedback through email and I also get on interviews with our users almost every week where I get a deeper understanding of how Buildpad actually helps them. Most of them come from using ChatGPT and other LLMs to build their products, and they mention how Buildpad gives them the structure they've been looking for and actually guides them forward through the product-building journey. This is understandable since building with general LLMs is hard when you have to know what questions to ask and guide yourself forward through the difficult process that product building is.

I needed this personally. Like this idea.

@replibee Glad to hear it. I hope you like it!

Sam @CRANQ

I feel like some people on Twitter like don't actually like to build things that people want...bit of an odd one but I think this would seriously help a lot of people get their priorities straight!

Big fan of the style & the design, it all looks very clean & straightforward!

Best of luck w/ the launch David & Felix!!

Felix Heikka

@cranqnow Thanks for the support, Sam!

Sam @CRANQ

@felixheikka Anytime Felix!

@davidheikka What a great product! Finding a product-market fit and validating product ideas has always been a huge challenge for builders. I remember having to manually sift through Reddit, Google searches, and engage with dozens of communities just to gauge an idea's viability.


One idea I got from watching your demo is to offer a competitor analysis. This could be helpful for founders to find out how your product stacks up against similar ones, and think of any unique value you can offer.

David Heikka

@mordehaus Thanks! Yes, competitor analysis is a good idea and something we're planning to do. Might even create a whole phase around it because there's a lot of important information we can offer there.

I love the basic premise of finding a problem to solve, you definitely address a problem that every single entrepreneurial person has encountered hahah. I think you could build something really cool here long term, my main reservation right now is that I would personally be sceptical of working day and night on a problem that has only been validated with some web searches. I think if you could focus deeply on making the discovery process easier (more co-pilot than autonomous) and really helped me find and validate a good problem to solve, you would really have something! You could add the build and marketing phases later when you've nailed that. Btw are you nordic? Hit me up, I'd be happy to connect!

David Heikka

@sebastian_thunman Thank you for the detailed feedback, it's very helpful. The 4th phase is actually "verify demand" where the user will do a more thorough validation with the help of AI (in this phase it involves actually coming in contact with your target audience). I still think your observation is good and the next product moves for us will be improving the process of finding a real problem to solve - as you imply it's where we can really set ourselves apart.


Congrats on the Strawberry launch btw. If I'm not mistaken you're Swedish? I am too so would be great to connect.
