Every feed was built for someone.
None of them were built for you.
- X
- is for news.
- is for employees.
- is for models.
- TikTok
- is for performers.
Founder Mode is for founders.
The rest
Built for brainrot.
Engineered to keep you scrolling. The feed is the product, and you're the one being sold.
Founder Mode
Built for purpose.
Engineered to help you ship. Every signal from the community turns straight into action on your ventures.
One feed. Three connections.
Zero distraction.
NETWORK
Right people for the right problem.
Find co-founders, early users, and operators who actually ship. Sorted by what they've built, not who follows them.
VENTURES
Your ideas become real projects.
Every venture has a stage, a team, and a changelog. Move from idea to launched without losing the thread.
TOOLS
AI and infra wired into the loop.
GitHub, planning, your favorite AI: plugged in so your network IS your workflow, not another tab.
Every post you make. Every profile you visit. Every tool you connect. All compounding toward one thing: shipping.
Stop sitting on your idea.
Float it free and let the network pressure-test it.
From idea to outcome.
Here's how each stage actually works.
Float an idea. The network rates it.
Drop a one-liner. Get ratings, feedback, and a claim button, without losing it to a Notion graveyard.
Founder matching platform for indie hackers
Open SourceConnect builders by complementary skills, goals, and timezone
AI-powered pitch deck analyzer
StealthUpload your deck, get instant investor-ready feedback
When the world isn't ready for your idea, stealth mode keeps it tracked privately.
Build with feedback on your roadmap.
Capture any post into Planning — every comment becomes a task with its own key. Link your GitHub repos to build right alongside it.
Daily habit tracking with AI nudges
AI pitch deck feedback and scoring
Launch with a network behind you.
Ship to people who watched you build it. Not a cold Product Hunt audience.
Close one cycle. Start the next.
Acquired, pivoted, sunset. Carry your reputation into whatever you build next.
What founders are shipping right now
Progress without the polish. Useful asks, hard-earned lessons, launches, pivots, and the work between them.
Deprioritizing, this kind of business will require capital & tons of time (compliance, managing initial users, ..). Not the best use of time right now. This idea started as a joke but was started due to interest from cofounders, however, it doesn’t make sense to pursue at this time
LESSONS LEARNED
Time is limited! Focus on what makes sense for you now. Don’t try and juggle too much at once.
Neither founder has adequate time to find customers. Growing EchoBox would require higher focus on branding & customer acquisition. Putting project on hold for time being
LESSONS LEARNED
Juggling many responsibilities, let alone multiple startups, is hard. It’s best to keep things simple and focused - especially in the beginning when projects require your full attention!
FM has some new updates! Noteworthy are: - Planning: task statuses - Feed: added reposts & quote posts - User @handles: change & reserve handles - Website homescreen revamp - Settings consolidation - Various improvements, reliability fixes & bugfixes Main focus now is on polishing, preparing us for a full public release on major platforms & finally starting to use and grow the product. Super excited!

The founder stack
Everything else you need to ship.
The pipeline moves your startup forward. These are the systems behind it.
AI that knows your startup.
Deep analysis built on your history, community feedback, and peer ratings. Not generic advice — context-aware insights at every stage.
"Onboarding friction is the top drop-off risk. Simplify to 2 steps."
Your reputation, portable.
Your @handle page. Showcase your streak, find co-founders, track every launch.

Stop doomscrolling.
Start shipping.
Founder Mode is the social network for people who'd rather ship than scroll. Free to start, paid plans from $7/mo.
