Why it's easier than ever to build an app but harder than ever to make it successful

Two active makers in the Product Hunt community join Ryan at AngelList in San Francisco for this week's episode of Product Hunt Radio.

Hiten Shah was recently awarded Product Hunt Community Member of the year. While that's *the *honor of a lifetime, he's also accomplished much more than that. He co-founded a few SaaS companies over the years, including KISSmetrics and Crazy Egg(which is still going strong after 13 years). He's now working on FYI, a tool that makes it super easy to find your documents in a few clicks.

Marie Prokopets is also a co-founder at FYI. Prior to jumping into the tech scene she was Director at Diageo, a spirit and wine company, and worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

In this episode we talk about:

* How Marie and Hiten built FYI. They talk about the challenges they faced in their product development process and how they've learned from them.

* Marie's transition from working in a big company (where she occasionally rode on private jets) to founder of a startup.

* The story of the MVP they built in just five days, and the tools they use to gather feedback from users.
