I built FounderDiscover to help people discover the founders behind products

Congrats on the launch — and love the premise: founders *do* struggle to get discovered. Since that's literally the problem you're solving, I ran a free AI-visibility scan on FounderDiscover (asked ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity-style engines 5 realistic questions about founder discovery platforms). Fast read: you're the #1 pick for "best founder discovery platform" and the AIs even nailed your differentiation verbatim — "ranking driven by voting, not just submitted product URLs." GPT also ranked you #1 in "top founder discovery platforms in 2026" (ahead of YC Co-Founder Matching and FoundersBase), and a third-party directory (Viberank) is already cited as a source next to your own site — 10 days in, that's fast. The one gap: Gemini's 2026 roundup still answers from launch-directory brands (Product Hunt, F6S…), because independent articles about you are thin on the ground — that's the "no third-party coverage" caveat too, and it's fixable. I wrote up the full 5-question report with the exact quotes + which directories to target this week. Want me to send it over? (And curious — would a weekly AI-visibility report be useful for you?)

Humanizing products by spotlighting the builders behind them is a compelling angle in an era where consumers increasingly value authenticity and founder stories over faceless corporate marketing. If FounderDiscover can successfully turn founder visibility into a reliable growth driver for launches, it creates a powerful win-win ecosystem where personal branding directly fuels product adoption.

What would make a founder come back after creating the profile? Discovery alone may not be enough without some recurring value.
