    One thing that you gotta be vigilant about is taking advice from those that have not been in the founder trenches before, nor successfully overcame the problems/hurdles that you require answers to. I see a lot of "book/guru recitals" and very obvious CGPT answers to founder questions. These can be misleading, and sometime inaccurate. People that have not walked in the shoes you are walking in, nor made the mistakes that lead to finding their own groove and the answers you seek, cannot advise you effectively. There is no 1-size fits all in this journey, but there are tried and tested effective strategies/techniques that AWAYS involve the genuine mutual supportive human touch. It ain't for the weak hearted, nor the "shortcut takers". There is no such thing as an overnight success. Those people have put in years of hard graft before they got to the place that you see. Experience trumps over-used quotes/recitals every single time! Model (not copy) those that have been in the shoes you are learning to walk in Find your own unique groove & kick butt I want to create a DB of great mutually supportive people who share REAL value here, and share it with with my portfolio startup founders when they go to launch. With that in mind, please name a REAL person that has made a REAL impact in your founder journey on Product hunt? (If there is more than 1 feel free to share :D) Cheers!

    😅 Is human advice augmented by AI okay? Where is the border?

    The real world experience can not be replaced by AI. However AI can provide some boost to a professional with true expertise. What project are you currently working on @thestartupwhisperer ?

    @richard_galovic absolutely AI assistance to someone that has already walked in the shoes and has a lived framework can certainly be beneficial because they know what to look for. Original thought born from personal experience that led to successful outcomes, with the assistance of AI4good is the objective :D We recently satisfied a syndicated 6.4mil raise for our portfolio startup in fin-tech (our Investor Relations/Communications consultancy), and just wrapped up a cool project in prop-tech. Also supporting startup due diligence for our adjacent AI VC fund. You?
