I’m Isabelle, co-founder/CEO of foundity.com- now 18 yrs old. Ask me anything! 👾

Hey hey, I'm Isabelle! Currently 18 yrs old but started Foundity at 17.

Foundity.com is the social startup network- a centralized, global ecosystem helping early-stage businesses and founders connect, build, and grow.

There is a gap in the market of a platform that provides personal learning, fast interaction, and immediate action for startups. So, as we did more research and development, we created Foundity so solve this! We just went live on May 26.

I'm using PH to get feedback, beta users, and potentially new partnerships! I especially look for startups creating tools for businesses and entrepreneurs, as well as programs/organisations.

I previously did a Ted Talk where I showcased the story and reason behind Foundity, if you'd like to see here:

Something in our next steps is launching on PH next week, expanding our team, and integrating AI into our platform for faster and smarter matching between users, as well as more personalized learning.

I’ll respond to any and all questions! Always love to talk to people.

Hey Isabelle, hat off!

What led you to run a business at such an early age?

@busmark_w_nika Hey Nika! Thanks :) I was deeply connected to the problem; I was so annoyed that there wasn't a centralized ecosystem that was available to everyone online. So, I really wanted to fix it and created Foundity for other startup builders.

@isabelle_dijkhorst IMO, Product Hunt is really great place to showcase this, and I think that on X and Reddit, you would also find some relevant people into business :) Wish you good luck :)

@busmark_w_nika Oh great! I'm glad to hear that– we're still getting our earliest users so hopefully this can get it to some more people. Do you have tips for using X? I am a new user so I don't have much activity there

@isabelle_dijkhorst I would suggest following big names when it comes to makers, but also VC funds. Try to also use "Communities" and post in their feed some relevant learning that other marketers and business owners can benefit from. And do not hesitate to share your milestones :)
