I keep going back and forth on this, so I m curious how others think about it.

At what point do you start taking non-English markets seriously?

• only after you feel solid PMF in English?

• when inbound users from certain regions show up?

• by picking one market early (Japan, LatAm, etc.) and committing?

• or do you just keep pushing it off to stay focused?

Hi everyone! I m Hansi, founder of You2Mentor. I started this platform to bridge the gap in mentoring. Most people either don t have access to mentors, or the mentoring they get is limited to the organisation or the department they work in.

We re building a platform that helps individuals find mentors and supports organisations in running structured mentoring programs. Users can set goals, track progress, and grow skills in a meaningful way.

What are three things you re grateful for every day?
Are they the same, or do they change over time?

For me, the three things I m grateful for most days are:

• Having the health to keep working

• Having work that I can pursue and grow with

• Having a family that cares about me and supports me from behind the scenes

Of course, each day brings different moments, small wins, or reasons to feel grateful.
But at the core, it often comes back to the same things: health, work, and family.

This summer, we made a bold decision to launch on Product Hunt. The problem? We had zero idea how to actually do it.

Well, almost zero. Our CTO @mokosiy was a massive Product Hunt fan, and his enthusiasm was our only compass. He armed us with the right stack: Cursor for code, PostHog for analytics, latest .NET and Avalonia to build the gorgeous app.

The Reality Check By August, the "Launching Soon" label we were banking on had vanished. We were flying blind. That's when the real work began. I didn't just read the guidelines; I followed them to the letter. We had to change the date of the Product Hunt launch five times. We realized that we weren't ready.
