For more than 3 years, I ve always been getting that one request in my DMs: Will you hunt us?

And I think it s great that founders realise launching on Product Hunt can bring publicity.

I ve been thinking about this while working on a product involving transactions between people who may not know each other.

A seller can complete 30 successful transactions, but the next customer may still know almost nothing about that history.

The obvious answer is to show completed transactions, ratings or reviews.

But that creates another problem.

My team and I are launching our RFP library tool on Tuesday, but we are doing something entirely unscalable for our beta: we aren't handing our users a login.

We know that AI hallucinates badly on unstructured legacy proposals. So, rather than throwing an AI tool at unorganized files, we are stepping in as a temporary extension of the users' team. We do the heavy lifting of manually organizing their scattered past proposal data into an accurate, verifiable library. We want to ensure that the foundation is flawless before we automate any sort of self-serve onboarding.

Has anyone else launched a high-touch, concierge MVP like this? Did your early users value the hands-on setup, or did the lack of instant access cause too much friction?

When I first launched I swore I d keep things super minimal and never do heavy discounts or bloated features. A couple years in I catch myself making compromise after compromise just to keep numbers up. Partly because I was naive back then but partly because taking shortcuts was just easier. How do you tell if you re actually maturing as a founder or just losing your original vision?

We kept our high-tier enterprise plan pricing hidden behind a sales call form, thinking it would give our sales team leverage to negotiate bigger contract sizes. Instead, it was driving mid market prospects straight to our competitors who listed transparent pricing upfront.

Once we published clear, fixed enterprise tiers on our pricing page inbound qualifies leads actually increased rather than dropping off.

For founders targeting B2B clients: does transparent enterprise pricing build trust or does it cap your maximum deal size?

For every comment that I leave, I usually upvote about ten other items. Reviewing my own history, there was one thing that all my comments had in common: the creator had made a tough choice. Either they were worried about pricing or had dropped a feature.

A polished announcement gets an unobtrusive upvote. An honest doubt is responded to because it's the only way to do so.

I think we all lie every day (even when we say "Good night" to someone, and we don't even have to mean it sincerely).

We also lie on our resumes, we don't fully disclose everything on our tax returns, and we sometimes fake income.
