Our live Kickstarter is funding and recruiting the founding learner cohort. I m keeping the main Product Hunt launch for when open beta is accessible. I m especially looking to reach college students. For founders who have built learning tools, how would you narrow that first cohort

... hundreds of campaigns, and more than 300 individual VC funds have replied to them. There is some overlap, since certain funds have responded to more than one founder.

Comment from Artin Bogdanov(@artinbogdanov): @sai_tharun_kakirala   Hey, appreciate it man, great questions. 1. Build vs accelerator work Honestly, it's tough. I prioritized product and compressed everything else. The good news the most accelerator actions happening Tue-Thu and other days are "free" That been said don't expect to sleep much.

... built outside the US : Which ecosystem punches the most above its weight today? Where do you see the best balance between talent, capital, and customer access? Are there cities/countries that are especially strong for specific stages (0 1 vs scaling) or specific verticals (AI, fintech, climate, SaaS, deep tech)?

... love what you re doing at PostHog especially the surveys and live session replays. Those have been super valuable when launching new features. That said, the analytics side can be a bit confusing at times. I really wish creating cohorts or tracking where users are coming from was easier. For example, in Google Analytics, I can instantly see all referrals, where visitors came from, and which ones converted. But in PostHog, I have to manually add each site ... ... OrbStack which is amazing and much more performant than Docker. Comment from steve beyatte(@steveb): Huge fan of what you guys do. I feel like you do enterprise software but play the enterprise game completely different than your competitors

What is are the real advantages of Posthog versus others like Amplitude? Nicer/easier to use? Or something deeper than that? A little story: At Product Hunt, we used @Asana . I knew about @Linear .
