What happens when founders start spending on customer acquisition before they know who their customers really are? 💸
Building an MVP is easier than ever, but finding the right customers still takes work.
So, where should founders focus before putting money into marketing?
@jonathan_doerr shares what he's seen.

What if you could test your next idea before you build it, without leaving Chatgpt or Claude ?
That’s what we just launched with Articos MCP, live on @ProductHunt today.
You can now:
→ Know if your messaging lands before you spend a dollar running it
→ Find your ICP and the segments you're not speaking to yet
→ See which ad or landing page version wins, and why
→ Build testing into your workflow, so validating a decision takes one prompt, not a project
The difference? The insights are grounded in real research, not an AI model making its best guess.
We built Articos MCP to bring the kind of customer research teams usually spend weeks on directly into the tools they already use.
See what we built → And if you find it useful, an upvote on Product Hunt today would mean a lot.

Capital is only useful when companies can turn it into value.
At @money2020_me, @ali__oosman and @jonathan_doerr explored two sides of that equation, from capital absorption across the region to building AI-native companies.

Disrupt is coming to Amsterdam this October.
If you are building something real and looking for a co-founder, or want to see how AI-native ventures get built from the ground up, this room is for you.
7 October · 6pm–9pm · @StartDockNL · Amsterdam

I got the developer's original 2016 price list for Germany's tallest residential tower.
Floor 1 → 42: +78% per m².
Almost none of it gradual. Two steps carry it:
+18% at floor 31
+52% at floor 43, where the penthouses start

Congrats team @Ask_ORO!
I have seen the team working through extremely tough market & deliver a killer product that’s loved by everyone!
@ZIGChain is proudly doubling down in the latest round as well :)
We have raised a $3M strategic round to make onchain finance feel less like infrastructure and more like a conversation.

Last week, Abu Dhabi brought together 450+ founders, operators, investors, and builders for an evening of honest conversations about building.
From sharing what they're building to discussing what's working (and what isn't), the room was full of the kinds of conversations and connections that move things forward.💡
Thanks to everyone who joined us at @hub71ad alongside @awscloud. Looking forward to seeing you at the next one. 🚀

Nature has always been productive.
It just wasn't investable.
That changes now.

Funfact - TVL on @ZIGChain is up 350% in 7 weeks. Majority of this is ethereum:0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48, directed towards tokenized credit vaults on @NawaFinance & @Valdora_finance!
ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 is the meta asset of onchain finance because it serves t both originators & investors, and its JUST getting started 🚀
ZIGChain has now crossed $50M in TVL.
What’s interesting is that 66% of that capital is in stablecoins, with over $33M in USDC deployed across yield products in the ecosystem.
Users aren’t just holding assets here. They’re actively putting capital to work. And this is only the beginning of what the ecosystem can support.

Nature has always been productive. Now it's investable.
Ridge is bringing forests, farmland and regenerative land into capital markets as regulated, ISIN-listed securities.

Ridge is live.
Natural assets are one of the world’s largest asset classes — yet they remain disconnected from institutional capital.
Ridge is building the missing infrastructure: transforming forests, regenerative agriculture and conservation assets into regulated, institutional-grade financial products.
This is what venture building looks like: solving structural gaps in global markets.
