Introducing Ambassadors: For Makers, By Makers
When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn’t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn’t know where I fit in.
But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.
That first launch became Product of the Day.
We were later nominated for Product of the Year.
In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.
And now in 2025, I’ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!
It’s a small group of Makers who get it – and are here to give back.
We’re here to help you feel less alone. To cheer you on. To answer questions, review launch plans, or just give honest feedback. Each of us brings our own perspective, experience, and passion for what the Product Hunt community stands for.
👋 I’m one of the Ambassadors right now, but you can identify other Ambassadors by the Ambassador badge on their profile. @chrismessina, @fmerian, and @busmark_w_nika are some others, who are willing to help. If you ever need support or just want to talk through your launch, we’d love to hear from you!
✨Want to become an Ambassador?
We’re looking to grow! If you’re an active community member and love supporting others on their Product Hunt journey, fill out this interest form – we’ll be expanding the program soon.

@ben_griese I know how much effort this took. Let’s grow something great together.
That's very cool! I am glad the ambassador program is back on PH. Thanks for sharing the update, @elly_sp :)
A week ago, @busmark_w_nika invited me to fill the form, that's when I found about it.
I joined Product Hunt back in October 2016, it’s been quite a journey watching the platform evolve over the years.
Along the way, I’ve made countless friends here and I’m always happy to guide, support or cheer on both new and seasoned makers.
If you ever want to talk product positioning, messaging or marketing, feel free to reach out! PH and Reddit are where I hang out most. :)

You have a wonderful journey with ProductHunt. I have been there for several years and launched my tools, with little attention. Until last year, my launch of PopPop AI Vocal Remover ranked 10th for that day. I know how powerful ProductHunt is.

@charlenechen_123 That’s amazing—ranking #10 is no small feat! If you’re ever planning another launch, I’d be happy to help however I can—feel free to reach out anytime🧡

@charlenechen_123 Sure, I'll be there💕

Great turn of events Elly. Super awesome to see this. PH feels like it is having a moment of importance again as building is becoming easier! I also enjoy seeing the forums growth. Expanding the users who notice these and the voices on it will help keep it fresh!
