Stop using AI to build things no one needs. Let your users stake on what to build next. Create a fundable poll with features or products you want to build next. Share it with your users or friendly community and let them stake their funds on what they want. Get the funds from the winning options, funds from non-winning options are refunded. What you get: 1. Prove paid demand early before building anything. 2. Turn feature prioritisation into quick funding. 3. Activate user engagement growth loop
StakeDriven is a clever way to validate demand before building, and I like how refunds for losing options keep things low-risk for backers. Surprised how quickly I set up my first poll.
Honestly the stake to vote thing is kind of brilliant, basically your users are telling you what to build with their wallets instead of just upvoting. Tried it on a small feature poll and got real signal way faster than a survey.
The staking mechanic is a smart twist on feature voting. I tested a poll with my side project community and it actually got people to commit real money instead of just clicking buttons.
One thing that would make this way more useful for indie devs like me is letting backers leave a short note when they stake, so I can see why they picked a feature and use that context when building it.
Tried making a quick poll for a side project and the staking mechanic actually makes people respond differently than a regular survey, decisions feel more real when money's behind them.
love how cleanly the stake-and-refund mechanic turns wishlist chaos into real signal. that "refund the losers" detail is what makes this feel fair instead of just another pre-order gimmick.

Who hunted StakeDriven?
StakeDriven was hunted by indie wizard. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
After 10 years in startup product management, I keep seeing teams build first and validate demand later.
Customer interviews, product analytics, and feedback aggregation all give us some more confidence in what we build.
But:
Feature requests != feature usage.
Adding more unvalidated features move your product further away from product-market fit.
Inspired by lean thinking, I built StakeDriven—an easier way to validate what your users are ready to pay for. And get the funding to ship it.
StakeDriven is free. It is mainly for startups that are b2c or b2b with focus on small teams.

StakeDriven is an early experiment, and I’d be grateful for your honest feedback.
