- Introducing... @Hyper_ A new kind of early-stage VC inspired by the community of makers & early adopters at @ProductHunt. hyper.com
- Paid user acquisition is a curse. Later stage consumer startups that depend on it are the walking dead. • After launch, ROI declines consistently across every advertising channel • Early metrics are misleading because traffic is front-loaded due to the way ad algos work
- One thing I’ve noticed about high performing people is that they just have much higher standards. You can also raise your own standards by spending time around them.
- I've started to find a direct relationship between how much I write, and how much I learn. Highly recommend @RoamResearch as one of the most powerful pieces of software i've found in recent years. I've found it life changing (once you get past the learning curve).
- Thrilled to announce that today @ahiggz is taking over as CEO of Product Hunt. Those that know Ashley would describe her as a force of nature. She is a seasoned product leader and cares deeply about our mission of supporting makers globally.
- Excited to introduce Playco to the world! Building the future of gaming
- Replying to @jmoversounds like someone that doesn't own a chain runner
- Product Hunt is now giving $5k grants to upcoming makers each month, no strings attached. First grants this month!
- Replying to @joshbuckleySo, what’s the answer for these startups? I think a few things: 1. Optimize ad spend as the userbase saturates 2. Build a distribution moat to re-target customers later 3. Focus the core business on things that spread organically 4. Explore emerging advertising channels quickly
- Thrilled to have @ahiggz join the Product Hunt team as GM! She spent the last decade leading product teams at Reddit, Clearbit, and SEGA. Product Hunt has big plans for 2021, and we're hiring across the board. Reach out to learn more!
