Hey ProductHunt, I’m Pete, Founder & CEO of Stardust, thanks @__tosh for hunting us. Before Stardust, I grew a social media app to 10 million users & had a burnout along the way. As a recovering founder, I went down the health-tracking & biohacking rabbit hole. What I realized after spending thousands of dollars on doctors visits & health-tracking devices is that we need simpler ways to live a healthier life without overthinking things. 2 things stuck with me: Sleep better, by manage your caffeine intake & get outdoors and adventure as much as you can. Managing caffeine? If only I knew how to do that. I used to have 5 cups of coffee a day and wonder why I didn’t get a good night’s sleep. That’s when I started chatting to baristas about how much caffeine is in a cup of coffee. To my surprise, nobody could tell me. I did some more research and discovered that the FDA recommends a maximum of 400mg of caffeine per day as a ‘safe’ dose for most adults. But how much is 400mg? Well, turns out one cup of filter (drip) coffee at a big coffee chain can have as much as 450mg (!) of caffeine. And what is ‘safe’ anyway? I wanted to get an energy boost from a delicious cup of coffee, while still getting good quality sleep every night. I couldn’t find a good solution on the market. David, a friend of mine asked: Hey Pete, why don't you create your own coffee, then you know exactly how much caffeine is in one serving So David and I created our own coffee. A coffee with a predictable, low amount of caffeine per serving (60mg). A coffee that tastes great and is easy to make. We are sourcing the coffee from Ethiopia, brew it and then freeze dry it so that we get a predictable amount of caffeine per serving & a delicious tasting cup of coffee. Adventure as much as you can? If you’re working in tech, you have more freedom than you ever had. In reality - if you are like me - you still spend most of your time sitting in front of a computer screen. We’ve designed Stardust as a product you can take anywhere. As founders we now spend most of our time in the great outdoors exploring the world. Get outside, into the woods, into the mountains, and take a package of delicious Stardust instant coffee with you. We made it for you.
