After launching my app on Product Hunt, I started getting a surprising number of emails from people offering to sell upvotes. Most of them were charging somewhere around $1–$2 per upvote, with different packages depending on how many votes you wanted. It was pretty eye-opening because, from the outside, Product Hunt rankings can look completely organic. But once you launch, you quickly realize there’s an entire little market around paid upvotes and launch-day promotion. submitted by...

Have a startup tech company (proprietary financial analysis for individual investors) where we have successfully developed and are in launching phase. Wondering if anyone has worked with any larger marketing firms or if anyone has any experience in where to start with marketing . Hire a specialist? Organic growth? PPC advertising? Social? What has worked best for your start up to get the best bang for your buck? I’m being bombarded with courses from searching but seams like it’s all the same bs ...

Hi all, First time founder and creating a pitch deck for my startup. To give some context, it is a nature based consumer app and I’m endeavouring on raising an angel round (so this pitch deck will be given to angel investors). The story part of the pitch deck is okay for the moment however, I’m now thinking, do I need to showcase and present a financial projections page, or would this be too much for the round i’m raising - considering it’s going to angels - or would they have the mindset o...

Do you start talking about your idea when you're still validating it, or only once you actually have something built? I see people doing it both ways and I'm honestly not sure which makes more sense. Is it better to start getting it in front of people early, or wait until there's a product to show?

With AI, seed is the new pre-seed. We’re very early and currently have 2 customers: one came from an industry event, and one through a referral from a friend. If we retain one of these customers, they’ve already said they can introduce us to other businesses like them. At this stage, what would investors (angels) consider enough evidence that we’ve found a repeatable way to enter the market? Events are working for us, but the economics don’t make sense yet. For example, we spent around $...

I am a startup founder and raised $2m for it. It is a technical industry but honestly I feel like my co founder almost “forced” me into it because he left his day job due to an untenable situation and wanted to do this full time. He basically tried to fundraise so hard and almost gave me no time to think about it. Somehow, our team is pretty awesome and we managed to get funding rapidly. I am the technical co-founder, in that I understand this industry better than they do by a mile. I have b...

when my last company got acquired, i was forced to give up equity i'd negotiated for in the apa, because of bureacratic laws of my home country which make it hard for me to own equity in a foreign llc. in retrospect, i probably could have gotten better lawyers and ironed it out but in the moment, after a gruelling acquisition proccess and facing health issues - i was tired and just wanted to let go, so i relinqueshed my equity. this came to bite me severely later on as the company grew much la...

Hey folks. My cofounder and I have been building a startup for about a year. We've grown from $2K MRR to $20K MRR in 3.5 months (after a pivot). Pretty good stats, I think. Very high MoM growth, accelerating a lot in the last 30 days. Our industry is a big one, growing quickly. We're at a stage where we need capital to help us expand the team and stay ahead of the competition. So we're starting a raise, and we're planning on selling 10% of our company. I'm honestly a bit unsure what valuat...

Hey so i’m an 18 year old girl hoping to start a business of my own. The only problem is…everything seems to distract me. I fall off track so easily get so frustrated with myself, and then promise to get back on track. It’s an ongoing cycle and idk how to break it 😭

Looking back, what’s one decision you overthought that ended up not mattering much? Maybe something that you regretted doing after the process. Or the opposite, something you barely thought about that turned out to be really important. Curious where founders actually end up wasting the most time.

I formed a C-Corp in Delaware in 2025 and registered it in California as an out of state entity. I've been ignoring the forms I have been receiving from my registered agent (CSC) from the Delaware Division of Corporations. The quoted tax amount is over 100k, but that seems to be the default, which would really $450 plus fees. When I first called the Delaware Division of Corporations I was told that I just needed to file a form to dissolve my company and I would not have to pay franchise taxes, a...
