We knew Kernal would be a great spot for the “build in public” creators that are looking for good feedback on their idea to see if it’s worth spending time on.
So we reached out to our friends at Hustle Trends to see what they thought. Sam Parr and Shaan Puri. They loved the idea, tested it out, and that was enough validation to start showing it to others.
We started DM'ing builders on twitter, linkedin, facebook etc and eventually rallied up 1,000 users on the site.
For anyone that was worried about their idea getting stolen, we asked them to feel no pressure in sharing. "Keep working on it in your basement for 10 years" was what we told ourselves and if they want to come back to test out Kernal, they can.
Kernal is for the people that come up with a new idea a day and just need a public space to post it up to see if it’s got any legs.
