People Brief — Know who you’re meeting: Know who you're meeting, before you meet them.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built People Brief because I kept repeating the same annoying workflow. As a founder, I often meet investors, other founders, potential partners, and people I’ve never spoken to before. Before almost every meeting, I’d open LinkedIn, X, company websites, interviews, and Google — then spend another 20–30 minutes trying to connect everything myself. And yes, I could use ChatGPT. But every time I still had to explain who I was meeting, why I was meeting them, make sure it found the right person, check the sources, and figure out what actually mattered for that conversation. So I built People Brief. You enter someone’s name and why you’re meeting them. It turns public information into a short, source-backed brief: — who they are — 3 things worth knowing — useful patterns across sources — what to ask — what not to assume — what we couldn’t verify Every material claim links back to its original source, and facts, synthesis, and recommendations stay separate. I originally built it for my own meetings. Now I’m curious whether it helps other people feel more prepared too. Would love your feedback — especially on one thing: After reading a brief, do you feel more prepared for the actual conversation? — Zuo

How much research do you do before meeting someone new?

I ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

As a founder, before meeting an investor, another founder, or a potential partner, I usually end up doing the same thing:

LinkedIn
X
Company website
Interviews / podcasts
Recent news
Google
