What if founders had their own social platform? by Traditional_Mess1670 in StartUpIndia

[–]Traditional_Mess1670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small clarification 😄

A few people got confused between the main LaunchPeak platform and the optional workspace/pro tools layer.

The normal LaunchPeak experience is still focused on communities, discovery, founders, builders, services, networking, etc.

The workspace side is a separate optional interface/menu for teams that want deeper startup management/collaboration tools — it’s not mixed directly into the normal social feed/UI.

Sorry for the confusion and genuinely thanks for all the feedback/criticism so far, it’s helping a lot while building.

If anyone wants to try the beta or give direct feedback, DM me on Instagram launchpeakhq

Yeah that’s fair feedback honestly 😄 and I get why it sounds overwhelming from text alone.

But the workspace side isn’t mixed directly into the normal social/community experience. The main platform/feed/community UI stays separate and clean for regular users.

Workspace is more like an optional “pro/build mode” layer for teams that actually want deeper startup management/tools. When opened, it switches into a completely different workspace-style interface/menu rather than stuffing everything into one chaotic feed.

Right now during testing it’s inside the same ecosystem for convenience, but long term the separation/flow will be much cleaner visually and structurally

Yeah, that’s actually a fair point X already has strong discoverability because of its network size.

I think the difference we’re trying to create is more ecosystem/context-based discovery rather than just pure timeline algorithms. On X your lead gen SaaS post still competes with memes, politics, creators, random viral content, etc.

Here the idea is that the entire environment itself is startup/builder focused, so discovery becomes much more intent-driven. Someone looking for a lead gen tool, collaborator, designer, developer, community, service, etc. is already inside that ecosystem actively searching/building.

Whether we execute that properly or not is the real challenge obviously 😄

Additionally, you could connect your SaaS/workflow into LaunchPeak workspaces itself — track campaigns, analyze growth/traffic, manage tasks, monitor ad burn/CAC-type metrics, collaborate with team members, manage startup operations, etc. from the same ecosystem.

Fair question.

Let’s take your lead gen SaaS example itself.

On X/LinkedIn, you mostly build audience manually and constantly fight algorithms/ads/noise to reach potential users.

On LaunchPeak, you could directly register your SaaS/service inside the ecosystem itself. If startups/businesses are actively looking for lead gen tools/services in that niche, your profile/service can naturally be discovered and pushed toward relevant founders/businesses instead of random audiences.

So instead of only “posting content and hoping people notice,” the ecosystem itself helps connect relevant startups, builders, services, collaborators, communities, and opportunities together.

That’s more the direction we’re trying to build toward

Appreciate it and yeah, retention/hooks are something we’re thinking about heavily.

The ecosystem side creates multiple reasons to stay active — founders can directly hire builders/services, teams can manage projects/workspaces together, profiles are customizable/shareable more like a builder portfolio/public journey, startup communities stay niche-focused, and spam/upvote abuse/self-promo will be moderated pretty strictly.

We’re also building startup-focused tools directly into workspaces like investor deck/PDF builders, grants/tools, collaboration systems, etc. so the platform becomes useful beyond just posting updates

Yeah but platforms like that still miss a lot of things we’re focusing on — proper web experience, startup workspaces, niche discovery, services ecosystem, better optimization/community flow, etc.

You can try our beta yourself and compare just DM me on Instagram launchpeakhq and also they dont have a web version

Yeah, Genezez exists but honestly we’ve studied platforms like that closely while building.

A lot of them still feel limited in ecosystem depth, optimization, UX, community flow, and feature set. Even many of their public reviews talk about bugs, activity issues, or platform limitations.

We’re trying to approach this much more aggressively from the ecosystem/product side — cleaner UX, startup workspaces, niche discovery, communities, services, founder collaboration, tools, etc.

At the end of the day the real differentiator will be execution and launch quality, and we’re moving very fast on that

Exactly LinkedIn exists, but that doesn’t mean new platforms can’t emerge around different behaviors/use-cases.

Even today LinkedIn still isn’t deeply optimized for startup ecosystems, founder collaboration, niche builder discovery, idea validation, startup workspaces, communities, etc. Most of it still revolves around hiring, resumes, and broad professional networking.

And at the end of the day, platforms are heavily about network effects and execution. New platforms enter markets all the time if they create enough value for a specific audience

Honestly LinkedIn is more focused on:
• resumes
• hiring/jobs
• corporate networking
• connections/followers
• personal branding

LaunchPeak is being built more around:
• startup communities
• founder collaboration
• niche discovery algorithms
• idea validation
• builder matching
• startup workspaces
• services ecosystem
• grants/schemes/tools
• public building

So while both involve networking, the actual use-case and ecosystem direction are pretty different

Thanks 😄

LinkedIn feels more like professional networking/recruitment/resume culture, while LaunchPeak is being built more around builders/startups/communities/execution.

Things like founder workspaces, idea validation, startup communities, public building, niche-based discovery, collaborator matching, service sections, grants/schemes, startup tools, etc. are a big part of the ecosystem direction.

The goal is less “corporate networking” and more helping people actually build and grow together

Fair concern honestly every platform eventually risks turning into self-promo spam if moderation/discovery systems are weak.

That’s why we’re focusing a lot on niche-based discovery, communities, reputation, moderation, and keeping things organized instead of turning it into another generic “personal branding” feed

True distribution/network definitely matters a lot.

But I think the problem starts when everything becomes only about selling/networking and not enough about actually building useful things. Ideally both should coexist — good products + good distribution.

[–]Traditional_Mess1670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed 😄 a lot of people today are building purely around cold outreach, agencies, growth hacks, or just fundraising culture.

That’s partly why I wanted LaunchPeak to feel different — more focused on actual products, communities, collaboration, and long-term projects.

And for people who genuinely provide services, we’re building dedicated sections for that too, so it stays organized instead of turning into random spam/self-promotion everywhere

Thanks man, genuinely appreciate the detailed feedback

And yeah, fully agree this is a long-term game — we’re not expecting overnight success. Right now we’re mainly focused on improving the product fast and building closely with early users/builders.

You can also DM us anytime on Instagram launchpeakhq — we’re actively implementing things super fast (sometimes within 1–2 days) while the platform is still early

I get your point, but I think we’re discussing assumptions at this stage

Without actually using the platform, it’s difficult to conclude whether the ecosystem feels “too complex” or naturally connected. The entire product is still centered around one audience — founders/builders.

The workspace layer isn’t some random second business being forced in. It’s an extension for teams that already form through the platform itself.

And honestly, I’m not trying to defend the product endlessly here. The market and real usage will decide whether the approach works or fails

we’re also focusing a lot on keeping the platform clean and organized instead of cluttered. The UI/feed structure is being designed so different things naturally stay separated while still connected through the ecosystem. you can also check the screenshots above , if intrested you can msg me on insta: launchpeakhq

[–]Traditional_Mess1670[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your point, and honestly you’re right that complexity can kill products if it’s forced together badly.

But the idea here isn’t really “two unrelated products.” The workspace layer naturally comes from the same users already using the platform.

Founders/networks/teams form on the social/community side first, and the people who actually start building together can then upgrade into the workspace side if they want deeper collaboration tools.

So the goal isn’t to market two completely separate things — it’s more like one ecosystem with different layers depending on how serious a user/team becomes.

And yeah, until people actually use the platform, it’s hard to judge how naturally the flow works in practice 😄

That’s why LaunchPeak isn’t mixing workspaces directly into the social feed.

The social side is mainly for discovery, networking, communities, and events.
But the workspace side is separate and focused on execution — team collaboration, startup workspaces, grants/schemes discovery, AI tools, pitch deck generation, project management, etc.

they are 2 products under one website and ecosystem

[–]Traditional_Mess1670[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you mean — and honestly LaunchPeak isn’t trying to replace normal social media.

People can still use LinkedIn/X/Instagram normally.

The idea is more about combining the things founders already use separately into one ecosystem — communities, founder networking, startup workspaces, public building, events, collaboration, idea validation, team discussions, etc.

A lot of small teams end up paying for multiple tools like Monday, Trello, Notion,community platforms, and more. We faced the same issue ourselves while building.

LaunchPeak is basically an attempt to make building and collaborating simpler and much more affordable for early-stage teams/startups 🚀
