What is Know Founders?
Today, business founders in food, wellness, retail, and services create amazing products but remain invisible online. They lack both visibility and credibility. Know Founder helps them launch fast, get discovered, and build Trust Scores based on real engagement — followers, upvotes, and early buyers. Think of it as “Product Hunt meets Meesho,” but designed for non-tech, real-world founders.
