About
I’m Baltazar — 19, originally from Colombia, and an incoming student at Babson College, where I’ll be diving deep into entrepreneurship and business innovation. I’m currently building Probado, a platform that helps early-stage startups validate their MVPs through vetted testers and AI-powered feedback. It’s designed to make product testing smarter, faster, and more affordable for founders. The website will be launching in a week or so and I am so exited to share and get feedback! I am passionate about solving real problems, learning by doing, and collaborating with other builders. Always open to feedback, partnerships, and startup convos — let’s connect and build something great together!

Website is live 🚀 Now how do I make my Product Hunt launch actually work?
Quick update the Probado site is finally live. It feels great to see it come together, but now I m looking at what s next: the Product Hunt launch and I want to make it count. For anyone new: I m Baltazar, 19, building Probado a platform where early-stage founders can get paid, structured feedback from vetted testers on their MVPs. You choose what you want tested, only pay for what you need, and our AI helps turn feedback into actionable suggestions and product comparisons. We ve got about 40 testers onboarded and the MVP is ready. I ve seen a lot of PH launches that look great but don t seem to actually lead to traction. I want this to be more than just a badge. I want feedback, users, momentum and I don t want to mess it up by going in blind. So for those of you who ve launched on PH before: What actually moved the needle in terms of attention or signups? What should I be preparing before launch day (copy, comments, DMs, emails )? Should I launch solo, or get help from a hunter? What s something you did wrong or forgot that you d fix next time? Appreciate any tips. I ve put so much into building this now I just want to give it the best possible shot. Baltazar

Is it really good to succeed at a young age?
I often met people with the mindset:
"I'll work hard until I'm 30, and then I'll enjoy the fruits of my labour."
