Click beyond business fit
Two founders with nothing to sell each other can still bond over the same wine or the same trail. It works like a golf club: the relationship starts with a shared interest, and the business follows.

Founder's
List.
You're known for what you've built. Founder's List shows who you are: the wine you open after a good week, the book you keep gifting, the trail you hike on Sundays. Share your thingz and give colleagues, partners and investors a reason to connect with you as a person.
Free. Your list opens as a web page, so anyone can view it without the app.
Why founders share their thingz
Business follows shared taste.
Your friends already know what you love. Your peers, partners and investors usually don't. They see you in pitch decks, panels and board meetings. A Founder's List shows them the person behind the company.
Be seen as a person, not a pitch
Peers trust people they can relate to. When they know your taste, the next intro, deal or hire starts warmer. Ten considered picks say more about you than a polished bio.
A post people actually want to open
Share your list on LinkedIn or X. Followers can save it, follow it and get the next thing you add. It travels further than a company announcement.
Be one of the first lists
We're featuring the first Founder's Lists when thingz launches on Product Hunt in November, next to other founders. You decide how much you share.
Backed by research. Across 313 studies, people felt more drawn to those who share their tastes, especially when they'd just met. Montoya, Horton & Kirchner, Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 2008
