ADPList

A mentorship platform that matches you with a mentor working in your field — design, product, engineering, marketing and more. Signing up and your first session are free.

Why I recommend it: Free to join and the first session is free; ADPList also promotes paid plans and some mentors charge, so check the mentor page before booking. Free-tier value: browse mentors, book open calendar slots, ask for a portfolio or interview review.

Greylock Blog

Venture firm's blog on building companies: hiring, product, go-to-market and AI, written by its partners and founders.

From the site: News & insights from Greylock — portfolio news, Greymatter essays, and firm news.

Why I recommend it: Written to attract founders, so it is optimistic about starting things. The operational posts on hiring and early product are the practical ones.

Magic Patterns — AI design and prototyping

An AI design tool for product teams: turn a prompt, product requirement, or screenshot into high-fidelity UI, match existing design tokens, and explore directions before committing engineering time.

Why I recommend it: For founders without a designer: make something visual before you ask anyone to build it. The free tier is enough to test an idea.

Tipstyr

Consumer app aiming to make tipping simpler and more transparent for both customers and service workers.

Why I recommend it: A small, focused product worth studying if you are building something for service industries. Note how narrow the problem is.
