Wondering if anyone thinks differently. Would love to see them also compare their model with ChatGPT 4o.

I am a huge fan of a similar product in China - https://tophub.today/
Wish someone could have made a better version. https://techurls.com/ has better user interface but seems like some contents are not being updated.

I know it's a completely different game for different people. Depending on your age, health, marriage, family, and many more, we all have different risk profiles. But can you share the metrics that you have used or plan to use?- Raise seed round? - Cashflow more than your full-time income? - Huge traction tho no money yet? or anything else?
Re:Ask HN: Do you trust SaaS software made by China teams?

This is the most objective answer! If a Chinese SaaS company wants to grow in US/EU, compliance is a place they must invest in.

Ya I see many people having the same opinion as you.
When it comes to consumer internet products, where the product was created doesn't matter that much honestly. There isn't that much at stake. But if it comes to enterprise software the risk needs to be measured.

Singapore is often a choice for those Chinese companies as well. It's hard to define a "Chinese company". There are many Chinese Americans / Chinese Canadians doing business in North America, myself included. If all of their team members and the legal entity are in the US, are they still a Chinese company?

Just stating a fact that I observed - teams that are based in China cannot easily get people's trust, especially when they are selling to large enterprises who care about data security and compliance. Is the country the team is based in part of how you make the decision? If so how can a company prove theirselves to gain your trust.

- build a demo and walk to your customers to see them use it in person (maybe in a wework location)
- build a landing page for your product and launch paid ads on social media to see visitor's reaction
- build a sales deck, pitch to your enterprise customers and ask for a letter of intent
the key is to find a way to learn how your target customers react to your product/solution
