Has Product Hunt become startups talking to themselves?
We launched Visibility by Causo last week to learn how Product Hunt actually works.
What we found was interesting and worth sharing.

~60 real product uses
360+ total launches that day
Not terrible, but it didn t feel like traction.
Learnings from our launch - is PH now more about a reputation leaderboard than real feedback?
Here s what we learned from launching our AI visibility checker on Product Hunt (it audits how well ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs understand your business).
Ranked #21

Decent waitlist signups for our upcoming full product (https://causo.ai/)
The real lesson: it s about who you can rally, not what you built.
New accounts don t count. You need people with active, aged accounts. We had about 40 people upvote, but only verified accounts mattered for ranking. Our friends and supporters who previously didn't have a PH account but legitimately wanted to support us didn't count.
Only top 14 products get real visibility. The mobile app literally only shows the top 14. Everyone else is invisible to most users. Organic discovery below that is basically nonexistent.
What are your good takeaways and useful tips when raising money?
I have come across several statements such as: a single person cannot raise money on their own (you need to be in a team of at least 2 people), it is not worth it because there is pressure on you, etc.
What is your experience with raising money?
What did it give you, and who did you raise it from?
What do you think helped you to a large extent to get the raise?
