Most startup advice says: don t go solo.

It s practically gospel, especially if you want to raise money.

But I ve met plenty of founders who started solo and stayed that way. Some thrived. Some flamed out. Some figured out how to build a support system around them without giving away half the company.

Not looking for the obvious 'use a VA' or hire freelancers.

What s one thing you do that makes delegation actually work for you as a founder?

Could be:

A way you brief people

Hey PH

We just sold $300k+ in 60 days with @Pretty Prompt through a lifetime deal on AppSumo.

This shows you can build a company your way.

I would love to explore more (like this) which is more about practical/actionable advice and relevant for digital products. What do you listen?

The perfection of creations generated by artificial intelligence makes it difficult to distinguish fiction from reality.

The precision of AI images has advanced to the point that even professionals (graphic designers, video-makers) are sometimes not 100% sure of their authenticity.

I ve been reworking my pitch deck framework lately and noticed something:

The most effective decks I ve seen don t try to impress they aim to clarify.

That one insight changed how I build:

• Less storytelling, more signal

• Less fluff, more structure

• Less "how it works," more "why it matters"

• Numbers that justify

Hey Product Hunt,

I just launched the closed beta of CoLaunchly for waitlisted users. It s a marketing co-pilot for indie devs that creates personalized launch plans, content templates, and channel strategies based on your app and target audience.

Now that it s out in the wild, I m realizing how hard it is to actually get feedback from early users. Even the ones who signed up seem quiet.

If you're a SaaS, digital product, agency or freelancer what payment gateways do you use to handle local methods, taxes and subscriptions?

PayPal charges me 5% per transaction and their support is unwilling to reduce it to 3% for me while I know they do lower the transaction fee for certain accounts.

I'm trying to reach out to startup people or influencers to do interviews or surveys to find out the feasibility of my product, but I'm getting a very low response rate.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips?

Every company has its own vibe, but I ve noticed a pattern: the bigger the company, the less they tend to do for employees around Christmas.

In smaller teams (or startups), it s usually way cosier people actually try to keep the holiday spirit alive (in our country, that often means a Christmas bonus, extra salary, vitamin packs, food hampers, etc.).
