Here s mine with some notes from reading it (with my note taking style ofc ): Zero to One by Peter Thiel: Start small, but dream big. Aim for the mind-blowing, not just tiny steps. Crossing The Chasm by Geoffrey A. Moore: Nail it with a specific group first. Go big later once you re a hit! The Lean Startup by Eric Ries: Get out of the building. Talk to customers and validate your ideas in the real world. Give me yours!!! Also, if your book is the same as mine, let s talk
You are a developer and you have put a few weeks/months into developing a project with big hopes for it. You launch it on PH and get a few hundred signups or views, etc. Then it is 4 weeks later and you are seeing nothing. People are barely visiting let alone signing up or buying your product. You try marketing but it has limited effect and as you end up running out of money to keep advertising it, you start to realise maybe this is not going to work out. What do you do with it? Do you keep going, and keep pushing it?
Do you mothball it and take it offline? Do you try and sell the project to someone else to recoup some money?
Do you look for partners to work with who can hopefully make it a success alongside you?
Do you look for more feedback or ideas on where it can be altered or changed to become a better project? Or do you weep heavily for 3 weeks and turn to Netflix and chocolate to get you out of the depression? One of the reasons I ask is that there are some brilliant ideas on PH but when you click through they are dead or dying and it makes you think "If they just tweaked this" or "If they just added that?" or "If they used it for this purpose that has a huge demand, rather than for their audience that nobody is really that interested in?".

A few years ago, getting a VC check was the ultimate shortcut. The fastest way to scale. The signal that you'd "made it." But with AI is a little bit different.
Global VC funding declined 30% in Q1 2024. One of the lowest quarters since 2018. And bootstrapped startups are quietly catching up. Recent data shows bootstrapped businesses are growing as fast as VC-backed startups, while spending only about one-quarter as much on customer acquisition.
Product Hunt just added a new leaderboard and it finally answers a big question: who s actually contributing to the platform?
For a long time, Streaks were the main signal of activity on Product Hunt. But streaks only showed who visited every day. Opening the site or app daily doesn t necessarily mean someone is adding enough value.
