I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.
But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.
Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).
+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
I'm ukasz, a solo developer and automation builder based in Poland, working on AI-powered tools that I actually want to exist.
Right now I'm building two projects:
Articfly, an AI content engine for WordPress. It generates SEO-optimized articles, refreshes old content, and runs on a multi-agent pipeline. Built for bloggers and content teams who want to scale without hiring writers.
