Makers - What inspired you to create your product, and how did you come up with the idea?

Here is the quick back-story of creating Knowledgehunt: Due to my management consultant profession, I am spending a lot of time researching the answers to my various questions. After searching for a specific topic for a few hours, I always discover a resource that wows me with its content, visuals, and insights. At some point, I started saving those unique resources in my Excel folder. Around 5-6 months ago, I decided to share my database and surface all the notable findings to the Startup community, hoping that others would find it as helpful as I do - that is how Knowledgehunt was born - a platform that curates and summarizes the best-in class Startup related resources: guides, reports, videos, courses and more Launching on PH on 29th - https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

We were struggling to pay off for our subscriptions while we were a seed stage SaaS startup who heavily depended on a few major SaaS subscriptions to support our operations. And we started Comfi to help SMBs and startups enjoy the annual discounts, but pay off monthly for annual subscriptions. On the other side, we help SaaS vendors close more annual plans.

Big earthquake in Japan > Fukushima nuclear reactors on fire > Japanese media feeding us lies. Truth came out in Twitter - but people were just guessing with hashtags. Tagbag.io was built to help find the "right tags" > we changed it to RiteTag.com Now RiteTag is one of what we grew out to four SaaS products. Then, 25 APIs for enterprise business.

We're excited to announce that our new product, AI Detector by Content at Scale, was awarded Product of the Day! 🏆 https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

As developers who are passionate about our work, we spent countless hours researching, brainstorming, and testing to make this product a reality. 🧐💭💻 💬 We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement as we continue to enhance our solution.

I had spent the past few years building checkout products at Google Pay and Affirm and something that stood out to me was the fact that most merchant integrated wallet products are primarily focused on solving merchant problems (because integrated products need to sell merchants on the value of investing resources into integrating a new payment product). Very little time is actually spent on the consumer. We decided to build Kudos as a wallet that was very consumer centric, and the way we avoided the merchant integration dependency was by making Kudos work via a browser extension - it work on over 2 million sites with no merchant integration dependency across mobile and desktop browsers, helps users automatically pick the best card that maximizes rewards and hidden benefits like "purchase protection" and "trip insurance" on all those sites, doubles the rewards you earn from your credit cards on 15k partner sites (including Sephora, Booking.com, StubHub etc.) and optionally streamlines the purchasing experience through a seamless autofill experience, including CVV. We recruited a team that's mostly made up of ex Paypal, Honey and Google Pay employees who all had a shared understanding of the problem.

I have worked on web and mobile app projects. After a few projects, I started to wonder about the level of resources spent on every project to support multiple platforms. That's why I decided to start Streos a No-code designer to build native multiplatform apps

To fill an apparent void and fix a problem my friends and I have dealt with! My friend and I grew up playing video games and met a lot of others through the medium. As you grow up and find more to play your backlog gets out of hand and is hard to track. Asking around I realized many were still using Word or Excel to track the games they play let alone rate them and review them. Looking online did not reveal great results either as most are still looking for a better way. Together my business partner and I are launching a website for gamers to track what they play, connect with fellow gamers, and share the experience.

Two pivots over 5 years, but staying close to the passion of education, sharing experiences and knowledge: 1. SharedTrip - marketplace of shared activities and travel 2. Introwise (pre-2020) - virtual networking and community building platform for events 3. Introwise - all-in-one business platform for digital solopreneurs All pivots directed by conversations with potential users, looking at the market and soul-searching.

I was trying to make a major life decision and was feeling pretty confused and frustrated at the lack of clarity. I was waiting for take-out pizza and decided to speak out my inner dialog aloud to the voice memos on my phone. That 7 min session felt like a therapy/coaching session and I knew exactly what mattered and what were all the stories I was telling myself. Seeing how effective this was, I dove deep into the psych research, worked with coaches and psychologists and started experiment with gen AI to build 6000 thoughts app. I am going to launch soon!!
