The Product Hunt community is made up of early adopters, makers, tech people, entrepreneurs, investors, and those who just love trying new products. They're here to help surface amazing new things that other people can use. Product Hunt is a place where you can introduce a product you’ve had a hand in creating, whether you…

• fly solo or are part of a big team,
• are a developer or a marketer,
• work for a big tech company or for yourself…

​

And so on; everything and in between.

​

At Product Hunt, a maker is anyone who uses technology to solve their problems, and they encourage makers to share what they’ve built. If you just love to discover new products, Product Hunt is for you, too (yayy).

​

Product Hunt has been supporting makers with a platform to share their products since 2013 (thanks, Ryan Hoover). One of the main reasons people launch their products there is distribution. It gives makers access to a huge, global community of tech people and early adopters. They make amazing first users who give poignant feedback. Many companies (like Loom, Lattice, Zoom, and Figma) have used the feedback they received on launch day to make their products better.

​

The most common reasons people launch on Product Hunt are to:

• Reach an audience of highly-engaged product lovers.
• Get feedback that improves products.
• Validate that the idea for a product is a good one/find product-market fit.
• Collect social proof in the form of reviews and testimonials.
• Find customers from people who land on Product Hunt searching for new products
• Find funding (venture capitalists and the tech press use Product Hunt to find buzz about the next big thing).
• Hire/find a co-founder or other top talent.
• Keep up with competitors who are also launching on the platform.

​

Product Hunt is free for everyone to use. All you need is a free, personal account — and the Internet — to contribute to the community. You can share products, comment, reach Product of the Day and achieve all kinds of success without spending a cent (or a paise, peso, fen, or anything else).
