Founders in stealth / pre-launch - why? (+ dinner in SF!)

It used to be fashionable to be "in stealth," but then our collective wisdom shifted to "launch early and launch often." In my experience, there are two good reasons for this:

The first reason is that it's often more important to figure out whether people want what you're building than it is to figure out whether you can build the best possible version of it. Launching early gives you the opportunity to either pivot or iterate quickly. Launching is learning.

How to attract the next generation of Makers?

As many of you are likely aware, Product Hunt has always been a place for builders, founders, and tech enthusiasts to discover and share what s new. But as the startup landscape evolves, so does the next generation of Makers.

I d love to hear your thoughts - how can we make Product Hunt more appealing to first-time founders, students, and emerging Makers? Are there specific challenges they face that we have the chance to address?
