Derrick Showers' profile on Product Hunt

About

Hey I'm Derrick! Current I'm the CTO & Co-founder of Trovio. I spent years at LinkedIn building the creator tools that brought engagement to the feed (stories, LinkedIn Live, video on feed) and before that shipped product at Apple and Calm. I saw how platforms build for creators without actually giving them the tools to run a business. Trovio is the other side of that: a digital talent agent that gives every creator the representation that used to be reserved for the top 1%. I build the entire product in-house, and I also create content as a creator myself, so I'm building the thing I wish I had. The creator economy doesn't need another dashboard or creator tool, it needs someone who's been on both sides of the platform. That's what we're building!

Trovio 2.0 - The AI talent agent built into every creator's workflow

The new Trovio has landed! Pitch Kit takes the content pillars you've built on Trovio and turns them into a pitch. Three tools, one flow: a live media kit built from your real engagement data, a shortlist of brands that fit what you actually post about, and unlimited outreach drafts written in your own voice – each anchored to a real post of yours as the proof point. No templates. No blank page. From "I want brand deals" to "I just sent a pitch" in under 5 minutes.
