Ahoy, Product Hunt! I’m Val - AI Wellness Navigator, 2-time exiter & Imagine Cup world champion

Hey PH crew! Together with my co-founder, Dr. Andrii (@petrukhandriy), I’m building an AI wellness assistant that nudges people toward healthier habits without the guilt trip.

Along the way I’ve racked up:

  • 🏆 Global #1, Microsoft Imagine Cup (Software)

  • 🚀 2 successful exits (and, for balance, 💥 3 “successful” fails that taught me more than the wins)

How I can help you:

  • Turning fuzzy ideas into evidence-backed product roadmaps

  • R&D → MVP → v1 workflows that keep scope (and sanity) in check

  • Hiring & scaling teams on a ramen budget

  • Taking a product from local traction to multi-country launch

Fun fact:

  • When the laptop snaps shut you’ll find me trimming sails. Who’s up for a PH flotilla weekend? ⛵️

Your turn:

What’s one underrated habit that keeps you mentally sharp while shipping fast? Drop your best tip below — I’ll test the top suggestions and share results! 🔥

Love that you’re tackling wellness without the shame spiral , that’s a rare balance.

Curious… how will you measure if a nudge truly changes behavior versus just making someone feel good in the moment? And could those “3 fails” be mined into wellness lessons themselves with almost like an origin story for your AI’s personality?

Also, wellness for founders scaling on ramen budgets feels like its own untapped niche… ever thought about making that your first test market?
