How We Helped 36 Startups Generate 14.6K Product Views with Our First 100 Members.
Six months ago, Founders Today was just an idea.
Today, we've grown into a community of 100+ active founders and have helped launch 36 startups.
Together, those launches have generated 14,600+ product impressions, with some products already starting to rank on Google through their launch pages.
That may not sound huge compared to the big platforms, but every community starts somewhere. What matters is that we're growing, improving, and staying focused on one thing:
Helping founders get discovered.
We believe most communities have the order backwards.
At Founders Today, our priorities are:
🥇 Visibility first: Every feature is designed to help your startup reach more people, from product launches to SEO, discussions, and founder discovery.
🥈 Authority second: We're building a place where founders can establish credibility by consistently shipping, contributing, and building in public.
When you join, you're not just creating another profile.
You get access to:
- 🚀 Weekly product launches
- 💬 Founder discussions
- 📅 Community events
- 💼 Startup jobs

If you're an indie hacker, solo founder, or startup builder, I'd love for you to give it a try. We are inviting you
It takes less than 2 minutes to join, and it's completely free.
We're still early, and that's exactly why your feedback can help shape what becomes one of the best communities for founders.
See you inside. 👋
14.6K impressions across 36 launches is a solid early result, especially for a community with only 100 members. The next metric I’d be most interested in is what happens after the impression: outbound clicks, sign-ups, and whether founders still receive traffic a few weeks after launch.
The SEO angle could become a real differentiator if those launch pages continue ranking instead of producing only a short launch-day spike. I’m building SongTrailer, a done-for-you music-video trailer service, and this looks like a relevant place to test whether a focused launch page can generate qualified discovery rather than just views.
Are you currently sharing click-through or conversion data with founders after their launch?
Interesting take on "visibility first" - the 14.6k impressions raise a question though: of those, how many converted to genuine founder relationships vs one-time launch traffic? The moat here feels like it's the founder network itself, not the visibility tool. The best distribution partners aren't platforms, they're people who care because they've built alongside you. That's where retention beats acquisition. How are you thinking about turning launch participants into recurring community members?
The early traction shows founders are willing to use the platform for discovery.
What would convince you that launches themselves create a recurring habit, rather than founders joining only when they have a product to promote?
