Why Most AI Security Startups Fail (and What I’d Do Differently)

The AI security space is crowded.

Every week, a new AI-powered scanner or autonomous pentest tool launches.

But here s the hard truth: most fail within 12 24 months.

Not because the tech is bad but because the foundation is weak.

A look at Aikido's first launch on Product Hunt

#1 Product of the Day and #1 Developer Tool of the Month: @Aikido Security first launched on Product Hunt last month, and they crushed it.

Tagline, visual assets, community engagement... Here's a breakdown of what they did right and how to apply it to your launch.

Built a simple .NET + Angular 16 Microservices Boilerplate to save setup time

Every time I kicked off a new enterprise project, I caught myself rewriting the same boilerplate stuff auth, CI/CD, microservices wiring, frontend-backend integration.

So I bundled it all into a starter kit:

  • .NET backend + Angular 16 frontend

  • Preconfigured microservices architecture

  • Authentication & security basics

  • CI/CD ready out of the box

Enterprise-ready .NET + Angular 16 Microservices Boilerplate – save months of setup

As developers, we often spend too much time setting up the same things for every new project: authentication, CI/CD, microservices patterns, and frontend-backend wiring.

This boilerplate was created to solve exactly that. With it, you get:
Preconfigured microservices architecture
.NET backend + Angular 16 frontend integration
Auth & security basics built-in
CI/CD pipeline setup out of the box
Enterprise-ready modular design

We built a .NET + Angular boilerplate to help dev teams save months of setup. What do you think?

Hi Vibercoders,

We ve all faced the headache of setting up enterprise-grade apps from scratch. That s why we built a .NET + Angular 16 boilerplate that comes ready with:

  • Microservices structure

  • Security & auth

  • CI/CD configurations

Do you prefer using boilerplates like this, or do you feel more comfortable building your own stack?

We built ZeroThreat.ai , an AI-powered pentesting tool that helps you discover vulnerabilities in your modern web apps (including AI-native apps) and APIs before attackers find them.

And today, we re making it even better:
Scan FREE worth $125 no strings attached.

What we learned relaunching on Product Hunt

Our first Product Hunt launch didn t go well. We put something out there, pushed for votes, and hoped for the best. It didn t work.

For our relaunch, we took a completely different approach. Here s what changed:

  • Engage, don t just post. We spent weeks commenting on other launches, supporting makers, and building trust. This time, people recognized us, not just the product.

  • Conversations > upvotes. What made the difference were detailed comments and feedback. The algorithm rewards authentic engagement.

  • Storytelling > specs. Instead of listing features, we shared why we built it and the problem it solved.

  • Timing is everything. Launching at midnight PST gave us momentum when the U.S. audience woke up.

  • Expectation reset. PH is less a sales channel, more a credibility engine. The real ROI shows up later, in awareness, trust, and partnerships.

What stood out the most: The community. The honest feedback, encouragement, and tough questions shaped our roadmap more than any internal discussion could.

Adding a “Scan a Demo App” option was the best decision I made

I run a cybersecurity SaaS mainly a pentesting platform.

A couple months ago, we added a Scan a Demo App button on our homepage. No signup. No email. No config.

What piece of advice would you give to someone who wants to start building a personal brand?

I can safely say that Product Hunt is the first platform where I managed to achieve a relatively large number of followers as a person.

(It wasn't the plan, because the plan was to focus on the Slovak community on Instagram, and I'm honestly glad it didn't work out.)... Anyway...

Should you offer free access when launching a paid product on Product Hunt?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

Have you tried AI-driven pentesting yet? What’s your take on ZeroThreat’s approach?

We just launched ZeroThreat 2.0 an AI-powered web app pentesting tool that scans both authenticated and unauthenticated pages, eliminates noisy reports, and delivers dev-friendly, actionable insights. It s free to get started.

Curious to hear from founders, security engineers, and devs:

  • What s your biggest frustration with traditional pentesting tools?

  • How do you currently manage app security during development?
