π Hey Product Hunt!
Dru here. Founder of Trends.vc.
We are known for reports on topics such as No-Code, Million-Dollar, One-Person Businesses, Paid Communities and moreβ¦
But personal growth precedes business growth. So after 2 1/2 years of helping founders discover new markets and ideas, we started to help founders grow as people.
Our new series, Founder Finds, helps founders improve 1% each day. Each issue has habit, health, mindset and productivity resources for bootstrapped founders.
Thanks to Hiten Shah and our community for supporting us and sharing the best resources that they come across each week.
Whether you're a free subscriber, Trends Pro Member or just finding out about Founder Findsβ¦
Would love to hear from you? π
@dru_riley Founders Finds is amazing, but even more than that, it's backed by something that is more than a community, it's a family.

@michael_pearson_adams It's great following your journey for the past two years. (Figuratively and literally ππ¦πΊ) We're lucky to have you MPA!
This sounds awesome, and so refreshing to see a product that is also focused on the founders themselves.
The 1% principle reminds me of the marginal gains that Sir Clive Woodward attributes to England's rugby world cup success in 2003 - do a hundred things 1% better rather than searching for 'one unlikely massive idea'.
@kattrisen Hey Katt! Thanks for consistently sharing your wins and resources that you come across for Founder Finds. It's great to know that the interviews are interesting.
Super high value content in Founder Finds which is a great weekly perk-me-up! Iβve been a longtime reader of Trends.vc and happy member of Trends Pro, and always impressed with the quality, consistency and insight from the newsletter and community.
Trends.vc brand is about getting you to the 'most important insights' fast. This is another step in cementing that legacy. Very proud of the work of @dru_riley and the team in the Founder finds.
@uelsimon You're a branding genius. I have tons of notes from our mastermind yesterday.
"...getting you to the 'most important insights' fast."
And just added this to notes as well. Thanks for the support and for playing such a big role in the community!
Just subscribed! Very excited to begin reading Founder Finds. My co-founder @jonathan_nass and I are always looking for ways to increase our productivity and focus, so I expect this will be such a useful resource for us. Congrats on the launch today @dru_riley! ππ―π
Founder Finds is the perfect community-sourced knowledge companion to Trends Reports! As an indie hacker/creator and startup advisor, these resourcesβ along with access to the exceptional network/resources in the Trends Pro community βare invaluable to my entrepreneurial development. Congrats, Trends team and @dru_riley ! π
Love the sustained focus on founders - from helping with business growth - to now focusing on personal growth. Canβt wait to see what next is added to this community.
The best part about this product is that it was grown organically through the amazing community Dru has already developed so well from Day 1. Literally writing the playbook here for community led products into the future.
Saving so much time learning through each of these issues with shared insights from other founders.
The evolution of a visionary product.
Dru is a founder of unrivalled dedication to providing & inspiring excellence. I'm never failed to be impressed with how committed he is to this business and his personal development. Such passion is evident in the consistency found at Trends.
I'm not a Trends Pro subscriber, but I didn't even think about not upvoting and commenting on this. Founder Finds is considered & relevant. I save them all for re-reading.
Congratulations, Dru & team. Awesome.
@mrmarcfletcher Hey Marc! Over the past year it's great getting to know each other in 100 Days masterminds. I cherish your feedback on automation, marketing, strategy and more.
Thanks for commenting. Looking forward to our next chat!
@rezzz Thanks Jason!
"...will be a powerful 1-2 combo."
I don't know of anyone more qualified to say so. So it means a lot coming from you.
Appreciate the support on the launch.
@dru_riley You have always produced some of the highest quality content I've read in my inbox and I thank you for that!
Looking forward to Finds now as well.
Always love a compilation of insights and thoughts of people who are trying to build something from scratch. Even though I'm not a founder right now, but will never tire of learning from the ones that have made it out there.
Congratulations on the launch! :)
@shrikant_damani Thanks for the detailed feedback Shrikant!

It's great to know which elements you appreciate.
Stealing Michaels comments:- )Totally agree - Founders Finds is amazing, but even more than that, it's backed by something that is more than a community, it's a family.
