The countries most skeptical about AI are the ones that built it.

Indonesia: 79% excited about AI.
Malaysia: 77%.
Thailand: 75%.

Japan: 35%.
Canada: 36%.
Belgium: 36%.

Ipsos charted AI optimism against median age. The correlation is -0.53. Hard to argue with that: younger countries are betting on AI, older ones are hedging.

A few patterns stand out:
→ Western Europe clusters in the bottom right. Old and skeptical.
→ Southeast Asia dominates the top left. Young and optimistic.
→ South Korea breaks the trend at 69%, despite a median age of 44. Culture matters too.
→ Argentina is an outlier the other way: young but skeptical at 43%.

For founders, this reframes the "where to launch" question. Your warmest early adopters might not be in SF or Berlin. They might be in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok.

The West built AI. The Global South might adopt it faster.

Are you building for the optimists or the skeptics?

Your pitch deck won't get honest feedback from investors. (But we've solved this problem for you)

😞 Investors value their time and energy immensely, which is why 98% of the presentations they receive go straight into the bin. Most are rejected at the subject line stage, others after just 7 seconds of viewing (as DocSend will show you). If you're lucky (read: if you pique their interest), they might look for a full 30 seconds, maybe even download it, but... you still won't get a reply. And you certainly won't get a response listing the weak points in your presentation. At most, you'll get a "we don't invest... at this stage, in this geography, in your industry."

An investor doesn't want to (and isn't obliged to) educate you on "how to properly prepare a pitch deck". They want to move on to a truly impressive company as quickly as possible. Consequently, most startups simply don't get any feedback from investors. But at Unicorn Nest, we're offering a solution to this problem.

🔥 We've created Pitch Deck Roaster, a service that provides feedback on your presentation. Right now, you could upload your deck to a modern LLM and ask it to comment on the strengths and weaknesses. I'll go further - the result would be decent. We decided to take the next step: combining the capabilities of LLMs with a huge array of knowledge - both internal (our team members have analysed thousands of real startup decks from the perspective of VC partners) and external - we've gathered "best practices" from across the market. Then came hundreds of tests where we moved through quality stages: "this is decent," "this is close to how I would have commented," "this highlighted things I hadn't even noticed." Discover red flags, strengths, and slide-by-slide improvements - that's what you'll get.

🆓 The service is free and comes with a twist: once it "sees" your startup, we'll provide a list of recommended investors who match your industry, geography, stage, and so on.

The service is launching on Product Hunt today. So, I'm politely asking for your support - with upvotes, comments, and shares.

❤️ But above all - use it! I hope it proves useful for you and your presentation.

Most startups don't need a full-time CFO.

They need someone to tell them they're burning too fast before it's too late.

Nume is an AI that plugs into your ERP and bank accounts, then does what a good CFO would do:

→ Monitors cash flow without you asking
→ Flags anomalies before they become problems
→ Runs forecasts while you focus on product

Setup takes 5 minutes. No dashboards to build, no reports to request.

The pitch is bold: "AI CFO on autopilot." The reality check: at pre-seed you probably still need a spreadsheet and common sense. But from seed onwards, when transactions multiply and burn rate actually matters, this kind of tool stops being a luxury.

Finance ops is the least sexy part of building a company. Which is exactly why automating it makes sense.

Would you trust an AI with your cash flow visibility?

ProductHunt didn't work out? Good.

Here's the thing nobody tells first-time founders: PH is one channel. One. And it's crowded, noisy, and increasingly pay-to-play.

The real strategy? Launch everywhere. Multiple times. Different audiences.

19 alternatives worth trying:

→ https://x.com/BetaList

Some are niche. Some are tiny. That's the point.

A #3 spot on a small platform with 500 engaged devs beats a #47 on PH where nobody scrolls past the top 5.

Launch is not an event. It's a campaign. Run it like one.

Which platforms worked best for you?

Every founder eventually hits this moment: "I need an API for X."

Then you Google. Then you find 3 outdated Medium articles. Then you find an API that looked good but died in 2023. Then you waste 2 hours.

There's a better way.

public-apis is a community-maintained list of free APIs for developers. 50+ categories. Hundreds of endpoints. All in one place.

→ Each API shows auth type, HTTPS support, CORS status
→ Categories from weather to blockchain to government data
→ Actively maintained (5,400+ commits)
→ MIT license, open contributions

Need animal pics for your MVP placeholder? API.
Need currency conversion? API.
Need to validate emails, check weather, pull stock data? API, API, API.

The unsexy truth about building fast: it's not about writing more code. It's about knowing what already exists.

Bookmark this before your next "I need an API for..." moment.

What's the weirdest API you've ever integrated?

Most early-stage startups ignore SEO. Makes sense. You're building product, talking to users, fundraising. Who has time for meta descriptions?

Then month 8 hits. Paid acquisition is bleeding you dry. Organic traffic is 12 visitors. All from your mom's IP address.

Found a thing that helps: seo-audit skill for Claude Code.

One command to install. Now my AI assistant can audit any page I'm working on. Technical SEO, on-page stuff, content quality, while I'm already in the code.

What it catches:
→ Missing meta tags and broken structured data
→ Slow pages and mobile issues
→ Weak title tags that nobody clicks
→ Content gaps vs competitors

No need to pay $200/month for Ahrefs when you're pre-revenue. No need to hire an SEO consultant for a 10-page site.

Just: "audit this page for SEO" and you get fixes right in your terminal.

The boring truth about startups: the ones that figure out organic distribution early have way more runway than those burning cash on ads.

SEO compounds. The earlier you start, the better.

What's your organic traffic strategy?
