We co-built the backbone for a $1B company. Now we have a "SaaS engine" and need sales partners.

Hi PH community,

We're a team of builders. Years ago, we co-founded a dev shop that became the core contractor for a major US company. We built their platform backbone. That company grew to 50,000+ contractors, valuation went 20x, crossed a billion dollars.

We built the engine. They owned the car.

Things that make a good difference at a launch on Product Hunt

Whenever I browse product launches, I somehow subconsciously judge not only the product itself and its quality, but also the quality that is reflected in the effort the makers put into preparing it.

It may sound insignificant, but in my case, these things also make a significant difference:

  • Icon GIF at the launch it enlivens the overall impression and is dynamic

  • Quality graphics and video

  • First, a properly filled-out comment

  • Photos in the makers' profiles (it's less trustworthy for me when there's only the letter "J" or something similar)

  • Whether any of my contacts or acquaintances on the platform reacted to the launch
