One of the best things about VCs and accelerators is that they bring founders together - which often leads to collaboration, cross-sell, and unexpected product ideas. But Product Hunt can do that too. @jimmyloweryjr and I met here through the @Product Hunt community. Both of our teams care deeply about helping people come together and making meetings more meaningful, so we started asking: What...

Hey all, One of the most important and challenging experiences you’ll have as a founder is fundraising. I pitched VCs across London and San Francisco. Some spent 15 seconds on my deck. Some took the call just to diligence a competitor. One told me to ask for more money. Oh, and I found out your pitch is probably being recorded and run through AI. This is the high-impact version of all of those...

Hello everyone, This one cuts a little deeper. It's about self-editing. And self-rejection. I think most of us suffer from it. "I could never do that." "I could never say that." "I could never start that." "I could never ask that." I hear it all the time. Usually in response to things I'm doing - which, if you keep reading, you'll find deeply ironic. When I left my job to build @Meet-Ting, my...

Hey all, I wrote a forum post not long ago on marketing as one of the rising in importance hires for all startups. This is all the things we've done, with some results and free resources. Keep reading if you're early stage, not a marketing background, or just looking for some inspiration and free help... We get a lot of compliments on @Meet-Ting's marketing, mostly about the fun and creative...

I didn't know no-shows waste 15-40% of every sales team's calendar until I met a stranger at Web Summit. I was standing by our booth when someone wandered over and started asking about what we're building at @Meet-Ting. I assumed he was just curious. Then he mentioned his company loses a lot of time to no-shows across his sales team. I asked how many. "We get 10,000 inbound demos a month." He...

Hey all, We just made a much overdue update to our website based on some key insights that I thought helpful to share. If you're new here, @Meet-Ting is AI that runs your calendar and meetings end to end, you just CC it into email to takeover or text on WhatsApp to handle things. Sounds simple? Actually, no! People still struggle to CC AI into an email thread because it's a new behaviour, just...

We're constantly looking for ways to reduce the pain and cognitive load of managing your calendar. We started with something simple: CC Ting in an email and it schedules the meeting for you. Then we added WhatsApp - message Ting and it sends an agent to handle the coordination. Now we're making it even easier. You can book meetings, set reminders, and coordinate events and guests with a single...

Before I started Ting, I did the classic founder things... Read every Paul Graham essay. Listened to Masters of Scale. Obsessed over founder stories. There’s always that moment in those stories. The magical customer call. The gold-dust that changes everything. The door-knocking moment (Airbnb). It is romantic. But, but. but. In reality? It’s really, really hard. People are busy. Most outreach...

Self-centred update today, but adding the top Product Hunt badge to our site felt real good. See bottom right of image, also online here: meet-ting.com Thanks again, gives us pride and satisfaction. Dan, Ting + Team

This post is actually inspired by a tweet from @sandradjajic + an update here on PH from @chrismessina. A few days ago I saw this: A year ago, I would have instantly retweeted, liked, bookmarked, and moved on. Oh, and maybe sent to my boss (by accident). Now - as a slightly more evolved marketer these days - I paused. Because while I agree marketing is becoming more important than ever… product...
