Either OpenBB, or just dump it all into $TAO (Bittensor). Joseph Jacks is a human dowsing rod for altruistic excellence.

Hey guys, AI company here, we do (insert AI keywords here) - the entire thing is made by AI, including the product, launched on Product Hunt 2 seconds ago. And as a promotion, each $100k investment gets an instant $50k dividend payment!

I would put it into SKILLFIRE and build a strong base of founders & thought leaders who share the tactics that worked for them. Has not launched on Product Hunt yet, but coming soon.

https://www.producthunt.com/prod... anyday. 😏 I didn't upvote them. I looked and ignored. But it bugged me. I kept coming back to them many times since. Sometimes the best products linger in your peripheral vision. But usually it bugs you later for some reason. "The most successful investors in the world are the ones that take a second look" ✨ Why midday? They are doing the "real building in public". not the fake "marketing building in public". 100% opensource 100% open about revenue / users, 100% open about pretty much anything. and great craftsman-ship and also growing market etc.

I would split the $100K between the top 10 companies I believe have strong potential in this space. And of course, I’d invest 1/10th of that into Mash—my own product! The creator economy is just getting started, and I’m excited to be a part of it.

If there were an opportunity to invest those $100,000 in Product Hunt, I would gladly do it. Especially if a crowdfunding feature were to be introduced here. After all, there are products that seek promotion and the attention of the investor and developer community. @rrhoover, do you have any plans for this?

@yusifov I don't have plans to!

@rrhoover I think that most of the company launching on PH would benefit more by you helping them to reach their buyer persona and get that 100K in recurring revenue. What do you think?

Wordware! They've been backed by Y Combinator and I believe they recently secured additional funding. Agents are the future, and you can build incredibly cool apps using Wordware. These guys are at the forefront of innovation and they're absolutely crushing it!

Diversifying would definitely be my approach with $100K. Instead of putting everything into one company, I'd spread it across a few different startups to minimize risk and increase my potential for returns :D
