How did you finance your business?

How did you get the seed capital to start your business?

I see mostly VC-funded companies on Product Hunt (mostly YC).
But are there people who fund their businesses in other ways?

How to benefit from the Product Hunt forums?

Yesterday I was thinking about how users of this platform can get the most out of Forums. Here are some ideas: 1 There aren't that many posts in the "Introduce yourself" section, so if you contribute something, there's a better chance of getting noticed by the community. 2 Even if you are an old member of the community, you can "reintroduce" yourself. A lot of people came here, so not everyone may remember you or know about you. At the same time, you can provide help to people in the areas you excel in just mention it in a post. 3 Recent posts allow you to tag people. When you are co-creating a product with someone, tag other collaborators in the "Self-promotion" section. This will automatically notify them as well and they will more likely support the post. 4 Ask questions that can help you improve the product. Conversations are now more moderated and even commented on by PH team members. This way you can get a professional perspective and improve your product or your next launch. 5 You can also take advantage of the Product Forums contribute to "p/Figma", "p/Supabase", "p/Notion" and other popular product forums... You can, for example, break down the most common problems of that particular tool and provide solutions. (Forum Threads appear e.g. in the sidebar for a given product for extra visibility) If you have any other ideas on how to take advantage of this new feature, I would like to see the opportunities from your perspective.

How is your team actually using recordings beyond meeting notes?

a16z published a piece last week arguing that everything at work is being recorded, and that companies who build AI on top of that context layer will win.

Compelling thesis. But it mostly frames recordings as a memory and retrieval problem. I think the more interesting question is what people are actually doing with them beyond transcripts, summaries, and action items.

I've seen teams use recordings for onboarding, async decision reviews, even as a source of truth when things go sideways. But I'm curious what's happening in practice.

A few things I'd love to discuss with the community:

How do you use technology mindfully - as a tool - when you're a founder?

Hey folks! I'm currently writing a book about cutting down on the level of interaction we have with technology, being more mindful with it. I was wondering if any makers/creators/founders wanted to share some insights into how you use tech as a tool, and set boundaries on it - rather than being owned by it? Could be around setting limits on phone use, setting limits on online tools etc. Thank you!!!

Which newsletter service do you use? (The best UX/UI + monetisation aspects)

When I started my newsletter 2 years ago, I used Mailchimp I was familiar with it from previous projects because it offered fairly extensive analytics and testing. The problem was that the articles weren t public. Mailchimp is more suitable for business newsletters like sales offers, etc.

Monetization:

When I wanted to take the next step and monetise, I looked into Beehiiv. At that time, however, I wasn t in the mood to pay the costs without yet earning any revenue in my opinion, Beehiiv has the best monetisation model (subscriptions, ad revenue sharing, sponsorships, etc.). Considering costs...

Is it actually a problem that your AI agent stops running when you close your laptop?

I ve noticed that many coding-agent workflows still depend on keeping a laptop awake and connected.

I m curious how people here handle longer tasks:

Marketers/Designers/Engineers: What's your essential skill for 2025?

Hey everyone,

Thinking about future-proofing my skills and I'm curious to hear from the pros in this community. We all have our core skills, but what's one skill that wasn't a big deal a few years ago but you now see as essential for your role in late 2025?

For Marketers: Is it data storytelling? AI prompt engineering?

For Designers: Is it prototyping with real data? Designing for AI?
