I’m Martin, a software developer and the maker of earlyFinder 👋 Super excited to launch today! earlyFinder helps you discover early-stage startups from their first tweet to their first million. It’s built for curious folks like me who are always asking: “How much is that company making?” How it works: Scans social platforms to find companies building in public Uses AI to analyze traffic, estimated revenue, and growth signals Updates company data monthly so you can track their progress Clean dashboard with saved groups, top/worst performers, and detailed profiles Why I built it: I was constantly bookmarking cool startups and screenshotting random Twitter threads. My phone was a mess. So, during my daily commutes, I started building a tool to organize them all. That turned into earlyFinder — a platform to help spot rising startups and track their growth over time. We’re now adding hundreds of new companies every month, and soon that’ll scale into the thousands. Would love your thoughts: What kinds of companies are you most interested in tracking? Any extra data you'd love to see added to profiles? Are there workflows or exports you’d want? I’ll be here all day answering questions, chatting about startup discovery, and listening to your feedback. Appreciate everyone who checks it out 🙏 Thanks to the Product Hunt community — seriously, you helped shape this from a messy idea into a real tool. 🔗 Try it out: www.earlyfinder.co

@marty_ Really cool idea. I have some contacts that could really use this support, so I'll be sure to flag it to them!

Congrats on the launch, Martin! 👏 earlyFinder is solving a real itch especially for those of us constantly bookmarking “build in public” startups and wondering how they’re doing months later. Love the monthly updates, clean dashboard, and the focus on real growth signals. Can’t wait to dive in and discover some hidden gems!

@alex_cloudstarThanks, Alex! Really appreciate your feedback!

@marty_ welcome!

Clean insights are gold. Just bookmarked and will try it later. Do you show traffic sources breakdown (organic vs paid) or just aggregate numbers?

@desmond_ren1 Hey! We have overall traffic and as well where it comes from. Then the est. ARR revenue uses combination where the traffic comes from, category and many more factors.

Let me know your feedback!

Desmond

@marty_ Is it for websites only? Will you add support for apps in the future?

@desmond_ren1 
Actually already have 50+ apps in the database but they are not included in earlyFinder yet! That said, the current focus is mostly on web-based companies.

In the near future, I’d love to expand proper support for apps. But first, my top priority is scaling up the number of new companies added monthly to 300–600. Once that’s consistent, adding more app-specific tracking will be next on the list!

Thanks for asking 🙌

Desmond

@marty_ Thank you for your answer. BTW, EarlyFinder's verification email went to spam folder, you should check it.

This looks great, Martin! How does earlyFinder handle startups that pivot or change their focus over time? Will the platform update their profiles automatically based on new trends, or will that require manual adjustments?

@evgenii_zaitsev1 
Great question — thanks!

There’s logic built in for this:

Every 6 months, a script runs across all listed companies to refresh the data. So if a startup changes pricing, shifts its landing page, or pivots from Product A to Product B, we catch that and update their profile accordingly.

We're also exploring ways to detect these changes more frequently — but the 6-month refresh helps us keep things up to date without too much noise.

Also, If a company is inactive for a certain period, it gets moved to an archived state.

Appreciate you asking!

For anyone looking to spot trends or identify breakout companies before they hit mainstream radars, this is an invaluable tool.

There are only very limited companies ?

Congrats on the launch. Super useful for anyone tracking innovation. We’ve recently launched Mukh.1 as well, a no-code platform to create AI workflows and agents with drag-and-drop simplicity. Check it out - would love your thoughts!

Thanks for the exploring this... Congratulations for the launching.

I am excited to know how you evaluate whether a product getting engagement on socials- X, Linkedin makes it a good find. Could not a newly funded or a bootstrapped one having just 2-3 posts also have significant potential in the future?

Archit Janugade

Loved the idea already tried it, i have a question: is there any possibility of adding new startups in this? if so how? .

It would be great to connect and have quick chat about your journey into this would love to know that
