Today is a big day for us.

We've officially launched Partnac on Product Hunt.

Over the last several months, we've spoken with brands managing affiliates, creators, influencers, ambassadors, publishers, and referral partners. We kept seeing the same story:

• Partnerships scattered across spreadsheets and tools.
• Manual tracking and reporting.
• Missed payouts and endless follow-ups.
• Too many tools that don't work together.

Partnac was built to fix that.

It's a partnership management platform that helps brands manage every type of partnership from one place, track performance, automate workflows, and scale partner programs without the operational chaos.

If you've ever managed a partnership program, we'd love your feedback.
And if you think we're building something valuable, we'd really appreciate your support on Product Hunt today. Every upvote, comment, and share helps us reach more people.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. This is just the beginning. ❤️

@GiorgosPag1997 Thanks for the kind words! It stems from scratching my own itch. The challenge was figuring out how to make partnership management feel simple and transparent, it's not as easy as it sounds!

Been seeing shitty tweets on my "For you tab" lately.

Did you know that over 70% of AI projects fail due to lack of understanding? It’s a stark reminder that knowledge is power, and AI is only but a tool.

people are finally realizing you don’t build anything cool with ai without actual base knowledge

If the companies at the core of the AI hype end up going public around the same time, it could become a major stress test for the entire AI narrative.

If we’re truly in a bubble, public markets are where that weakness gets exposed first, as private-market optimism gets replaced by real earnings, margins, and guidance.

Interesting times ahead.

Back then during the industrial revolution, people feared that machines would take away their livelihoods. And sure, they did. But they also paved the way for new industries, new roles, and a different kind of economy.

As always, the world would eventually adjust.

SERIOUS QUESTION: What’s the end game of these billionaires. They take away jobs, replace everything with AI, inflation goes up, healthcare costs increase, and no one can afford rent or food. How are they going to make money if no one can afford their products ??

If you're building something in 2026, this post is a weird kind of permission. Permission to bet on weird stuff. https://t.co/vbL9zuEd9x

Imagine telling someone in 1999…

The year is 2026.

The President is Donald Trump in his second non consecutive term.

The richest man in the world is PayPal cofounder Elon Musk… but not because of fintech or Paypal. Because of rockets, electric cars, AI, satellites, brain chips and something called “Boring Company”.

Apple is worth trillions but its main business isn’t computers… its selling glass rectangles everyone stares at for 9 hours a day.

People don’t watch TV. They watch teenagers explain geopolitics, finance, and relationship advice in ~60 second videos.

The biggest taxi company owns no taxis.
The biggest hotel company owns no hotels.
The most powerful media companies are social networks where everyone argues with strangers for free.

Kids are making millions filming themselves playing video games.

AI Robots write emails, code, legal memos, songs, essays, and breakup texts.

The internet is mostly bots arguing with humans who are trying to prove they aren’t bots.

You can summon a car, groceries, a doctor, a date, a private jet, or a dog walker from your phone.

People pay real money for invisible currencies, digital monkeys, AI girlfriends and pictures that disappear after 24 hours.

The richest companies in the world don’t sell oil, steel, or cars. They sell attention, compute, data, and addiction.

And somehow, after all of that everyone is still using Excel.

@athcanft Honestly this isn't a maths question. It's asking whether you want to be the person who built something or the person who owned a piece of something. Those are very different people. I think I'm the first type, for better or worse.

[Kene 🐘 @spatocodex]

@Sir_Damilare There's a version of this where having 3.3B users is actually the problem. People trust WhatsApp with their messages. That's not the same as trusting it with their rent money. Brand permission and perception is a weird, invisible thing.
