The short answer
OnlyFoundrs is a software marketplace where discovery is personalized instead of alphabetical. Every view, click, bookmark, and search tunes a private taste model — even before you sign up — and the browse page reorganizes around the categories and problems you actually care about. Describe what you need in plain words and AI search ranks by meaning, not keyword matching.
Directories make you do all the work
G2, Product Hunt, and every 'top 50 tools' listicle show every visitor the same wall of software sorted by whoever paid or launched loudest. You open 15 tabs, read feature matrices, and still can't tell if a tool fits a two-person pre-seed team. The tools that would actually help you exist — they're buried under categories that don't know you.
A marketplace that learns what you're into
Every interaction — hovers, clicks, bookmarks, searches — feeds a private taste profile. Browse it anonymous and it still works; sign in and it syncs across devices. The result: your browse page shows the two categories you care about instead of forty you don't.
Taste aisles, not a catalog
Your browse page is rebuilt around your engaged categories and tags — 'More developer tools', 'Because you're into AI video' — not a generic grid.
AI search in your own words
"A tool to turn my demo videos into launch clips" beats clicking categories. Semantic ranking understands intent, not just keywords.
Works from your first visit
No account required. The taste model lives locally and starts shaping your feed from the first things you click.
Real engagement decides
Trending is ranked by genuine clicks and upvotes — rotating slots give new listings a fair shot and graduate them on merit.

FAQ
How does OnlyFoundrs know what tools to show me?
It builds a private taste profile from your engagement — what you hover, open, bookmark, and search — weighted toward recent behavior. Anonymous visitors get the same engine via local storage; signing in syncs it.
Is my browsing data sold or shared?
No. The taste profile exists to rank your view of the marketplace. It's not shared with founders or third parties — founders only see aggregate click and view counts on their own listings.
What if I want to see everything anyway?
The full catalog is one click away — 'Browse all products' switches to the complete grid with sort and category filters whenever you want deliberate exploration.
Does it work without an account?
Yes. Personalization runs locally from your first click. An account just makes the profile durable across devices.
