PracHub
Practice coding, SQL, system design, and data interviews
Hey Indie Hackers,
I’m Andy, founder of PracHub, a technical interview preparation platform for students and early-career candidates.
One distribution channel I’m testing right now is university career centers.
The idea is simple: many students are preparing for technical interviews, but career centers often have limited resources for coding, SQL, system design, machine learning, data science, and behavioral interview practice. Instead of selling directly to schools at the beginning, I’m offering complimentary premium access to students who sign up with a university email.
I’m also offering optional co-branded technical interview workshops, so career centers can share something practical with students without adding cost or operational burden.
The question I’m trying to answer is whether university career centers are a good distribution path for an interview prep platform, or whether students should be reached more directly through communities, clubs, newsletters, and campus ambassadors.
Would love feedback from other founders:
1. Has anyone here tried university partnerships as an early distribution channel?
2. Would you start with career centers, student clubs, professors, or direct student communities?
3. What would make this offer more compelling from a university’s perspective?
Happy to share what I learn as I test this.
Hey Indie Hackers, I’m Andy, founder of PracHub. I started working on PracHub because technical interview preparation still feels very fragmented, especially for students and early-career candidates. A candidate might use one platform for coding, another for SQL, random notes for system design, scattered resources for machine learning or data science, and separate lists for behavioral interviews. It works, but it often feels messy and hard to follow consistently. PracHub is my attempt to bring that preparation into one place. It helps candidates practice across coding, SQL, system design, machine learning, data science, and behavioral interviews. The platform now has 8,500+ practice questions based on real candidate interview experiences from hundreds of companies. I’m also exploring university partnerships, where career centers can share PracHub with students and students can get complimentary premium access using their university email. I’d love feedback from other founders here: 1. Is the positioning clear? 2. Would you frame this more as a student career resource, technical interview prep platform, or university partnership tool? 3. If you were marketing this early, which channel would you focus on first? Happy to share more about what I’ve tried so far.

What jumped out at me is that the distribution question and the positioning question may actually be the same question.
Career centers, student clubs, professors, and ambassadors don't just change how you reach users.
They can quietly change what product those users think they're adopting in the first place.
