Hi Product Hunt!

I m the co-founder of SeekWhy.ai, but before that, I was a technical lead who sat through too many "All-Hands" meetings where management tried to explain away a bad NPS score.

I realized that traditional surveys are broken because they give you a number (e.g., "7/10") but zero context. HR teams end up over-correcting for a "loud minority" while ignoring the "silent majority" because manual follow-up doesn't scale.

What I m building: We ve built an AI-first platform that uses an AI agent to dynamically "interview" employees during the survey. If one person mentions a specific friction point, the AI cross-validates it with the next person in real-time. It s the first tool that can actually tell you: "Is this 3 people or 300?"

We ve worked in two other eco-systems (India & France), and each has clear strengths and trade-offs in terms of talent density, cost of building, access to capital, speed of decision-making, and openness to risk all vary a lot.

Curious to hear from founders and operators who ve built outside the US:

• Which ecosystem punches the most above its weight today?

• Where do you see the best balance between talent, capital, and customer access?

• Are there cities/countries that are especially strong for specific stages (0 1 vs scaling) or specific verticals (AI, fintech, climate, SaaS, deep tech)?

Hi Product Hunt! I m J, co-founder of SeekWhy.

We ve all been there: You get the results of an "Annual Engagement Survey" and the score is a mediocre 7.2/10.

You look at the "Transparency" section and see it s dropped. But why? Is it because the new office layout is confusing? Is it the recent leadership change? Or is it just two people who are having a bad week?

Traditional surveys leave HR teams playing a guessing game. You end up spending months in manual follow-up interviews or focus groups just to find the "Why." By the time you have the answer, your best people have already updated their LinkedIn profiles.
