I'm the Product Hunt CEO, and I've launched 8 times on PH. AMA (unfiltered)

Product Hunt changed my life. A year ago I stepped in as CEO, and a couple weeks ago we launched Product Forums (which you're reading this on!). Before that I founded and launched @Tandem (virtual office - YC S19), and @Cryptagon.io.

Ask me anything about Product Hunt, launching, startups, YC, or what we're trying to do with forums!

How do you keep people excited about something you’re working on?

I ran into this problem recently when I d tell people about a project I was working on, they d say, That sounds awesome! Let me know when it s out! And then... they d forget. Totally understandable, but kind of frustrating when you re trying to build an audience.

So, I ended up creating Wyshlyst, a simple tool that lets you make a wishlist page for your project before it s finished. Whether you re working on a game, a book, an album, a product whatever you can set up a page where people can add themselves to your email list. Then, when you re ready to launch, you ve already got a list of people who actually want to hear about it.

Here s how it works:

  • Set up your wishlist page in minutes No tech skills needed. (It takes just a few minutes, and is pay $2.99 once per wyshlyst -- no subscriptions at all!)

  • Share the link Post it on social media, your website, or anywhere your audience hangs out.

  • Build your email list People who are interested can sign up, so when your project is ready, you already know who to reach out to.

Left $1M ARR on the table

Hi all I'm Per from Sweden. 36 y/o and father of two little blondies. Despite having made several attempts to transition to an investor over the years, I simply can't help myself - I'm truly a builder at heart. October 2023 was my first PH launch and after grinding on for 20 hours we finally had to accept the fact that'd we were up against a giant we couldn't beat (Redhat). 2nd place wasn't bad though, we later realized However, after just having reached $1M ARR we decided to pivot. Long story short; we simply didn't like the path cold outbound was taking, and we'd been part of creating the whole motion. Now I'm back with a new product - a Customer Relationship Agent. It's sort of what we imagine that tomorrow's CRMs will look like. Less tables and buttons, more human dialogue in focus. We're a tight Founding Team of 8, who have worked together for a few years now. It's amazing to see the effects that endurance can bring. Such as a 2nd launch here, with a completely new product, for example! Looking forward to answer any Qs you might have.

Founding a company in a foreign country (formally)

I am at the stage when I want to formally move my business to a foreign country (for example, to take advantage of better tax conditions, fees, etc.).
Which country offers the easiest way to start a business, ideally to set up everything electronically (without unnecessary bureaucracy, where they ask you to show up physically. It feels like a pain in Europe)
The more information (and advantages), the better.

How often do you talk with your users/customers?

All sorts of product bible s are talking about the importance of talking and listening to your customers or users. But let s be honest, how often do you really talk to your customers/users? When was the last time? And how was the communication conducted ?

How to benefit from the Product Hunt forums?

Yesterday I was thinking about how users of this platform can get the most out of Forums. Here are some ideas: 1 There aren't that many posts in the "Introduce yourself" section, so if you contribute something, there's a better chance of getting noticed by the community. 2 Even if you are an old member of the community, you can "reintroduce" yourself. A lot of people came here, so not everyone may remember you or know about you. At the same time, you can provide help to people in the areas you excel in just mention it in a post. 3 Recent posts allow you to tag people. When you are co-creating a product with someone, tag other collaborators in the "Self-promotion" section. This will automatically notify them as well and they will more likely support the post. 4 Ask questions that can help you improve the product. Conversations are now more moderated and even commented on by PH team members. This way you can get a professional perspective and improve your product or your next launch. 5 You can also take advantage of the Product Forums contribute to "p/Figma", "p/Supabase", "p/Notion" and other popular product forums... You can, for example, break down the most common problems of that particular tool and provide solutions. (Forum Threads appear e.g. in the sidebar for a given product for extra visibility) If you have any other ideas on how to take advantage of this new feature, I would like to see the opportunities from your perspective.

Old Entrepreneur, New Product Hunter!

Hey, Hunters and Creators, I'm a Seasonal AI + SaaS Entrepreneur. Launched my first company administrator AI Agent for SMB in 2015, but the "AI" at the time is not that efficient and we have to devote loads of human effort behind to connect the dots between services; I later spent almost a decade on the field of banking SaaS+AI to enable a smarter and securer payment collection and merchant banking experience. For the past 2 years, deeply inspired by Gen AI, my fellow co-founders and I geared up and create a new cutting edge Voice Interviewer and Customer Insights AI Agent. Which we believe would be the future of Customer Research, Engagement and Beyond! Check out Chikka.ai and give it a try! Your feedback is desperately needed! Love ya!

New forum guidelines

The Product hunt community is amazing, and I know there's lots of knowledge to share. I want to make the forums the most vibrant forums for product builders on the internet! To that end we've re-designed forums, defined sub-forums, and introduced product-specific forums, and we've drafted new guidelines to keep the discussions vibrant, authentic, and genuinely useful. The new guidelines are here - https://help.producthunt.com/en/... - you can read them in full, but here's my summary: When posting a new forum thread, ask yourself:

1) Is this a genuine question I have that I want the community to answer? 2) Is this an insight that will be helpful to other builders and product geeks?
