After putting in significant effort to build Videco, my co-founder and I have parted ways due to differences in vision and commitment. While these situations are never easy, they serve as valuable learning experiences. Key lessons I ve learned: Professionalism matters more than personal relationships Aligned vision and commitment are non-negotiable Always have clear agreements in place things don t always go as planned Mutual respect when things go sideway With that in mind, I m now launching a new venture in the same industry, bringing forward the lessons learned and a renewed focus on building something even stronger. : . @ . , . That said, I m proud of what I ve accomplished through my own efforts. Here are the numbers I reached with my personal work: #1 ProductHunt of the Day, #1 Marketing Tool of the Month +500 demo's with ICP and partners Went forward with SaaStock Pitch Competition 2024, and B2B Rocks 2024 +100k impressions and 2k clicks Ranked Google 1st page as alternative for prime competitors Now its time to 100x that with a better product and vibes! Onward and upward! Curious about it? Just DM me and will show you what I mean! https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex...
Pricing has been one of the trickiest parts of building a SaaS product for me especially deciding when to introduce regional pricing. Some markets are super price-sensitive, while others don t mind paying more for the right features. It s a tough balance set prices too high, and you lose potential customers; too low, and profitability takes a hit.
I ve seen companies like Zoho and Chargebee roll out regional pricing early to stay competitive, while Salesforce and Atlassian have mostly stuck to global pricing, with Salesforce offering regional discounts in some cases.
That got me thinking when does it actually make sense to introduce regional pricing? Should it be based on revenue milestones, number of paying users, or something else?
Would love to hear from those who ve been through this did regional pricing help with conversions, or did it add more complexity?
We've seen so many AI email assistants pop up recently. The one I'm most intrigued by is Cora. I just got off the Cora waitlist and am taking it for a spin this weekend.
I still get shiny penny syndrome when I see new productivity tools but I am starting to double down on the simple approach of doing less is more impactful. Cora sends you email summaries only 2x a day, and crafts different responses you can choose from and only surfaces the most important items so you aren't reacting to every item as it arrives and aren't living chained to your inbox. I'm excited to see if it actually improves my productivity AND impact.
Product Hunt is great for launches, but what about long-term visibility? AI directories, marketplaces, and niche communities can help attract users over time. Which platforms have worked best for you in terms of traffic, signups, or conversions? Any underrated ones that more founders should explore? Let s discuss!
Product Hunt isn t just about launching and upvotes it s about real engagement and building relationships.
From my experience, the best way to grow on PH isn t just hunting great products but: Giving meaningful feedback that helps makers improve Supporting launches with strategic comments (not generic praise) Networking with builders who later become collaborators, partners, or even investors
Most people focus only on upvotes and ignore the long-term impact of building credibility here. What s one unexpected benefit you ve gained from engaging on Product Hunt?
The EU AI Act came into force yesterday, with penalties of up to 35 million or 7% of annual turnover. How is this really affecting those creating real AI?
