Memento mori

We constantly see and write about fascinating makers building cool stuff. As a founder, you often have to be an expert at most things: product, design, talking to your users, and fundraising, just to name a few. Luckily, a lot of you have picked up on the struggles of founding a company and realized it’s not a zero-sum game.

Downturns like the one we’re going through make early-stage building that much harder. Here are some great resources to make life a little bit easier, whether you’re starting out or have been in the game for a while.

Startups.fyi, which launched today, is a curated directory of free tools and resources for startup founders and aspiring entrepreneurs. The website currently has 50+ tools that range from scheduling software to design tools and famous pitch decks.

Accelerator Hunt is a categorized collection of startup accelerators. YC also recently launched Startup School Live 2022, its 7-week online course where YC Group Partners and YC founders teach you how to build a billion-dollar company, through in-person meetups and talks at YC alumni offices in 30+ cities all over the world.

For the ones in a hurry, Startup 101 offers bite-sized lessons for entrepreneurs who are looking to start a company or are in the process of building one.

At Product Hunt, we also have Founder Club, a monthly subscription that gives you access to deals from 32 different companies (Stripe, Brex, Deel) and savings of over $100,000 in discounts and credits. Lurking our Discussion tab can also be useful. Partner Up helps with finding co-founders, mentors, or teammates, while Ideas and Validation and Growth are great for getting input and advice on your product.
