Pitch your product. Win $1M+
by•
Update: The Deel Leaderboard will no longer be going ahead today for the Paris event.
We’re teaming up with The Pitch by @Deel, a global startup competition where up to 100 winners will receive $50k in funding and up to 10 winners will receive $1M+.
If you make the cut, you’ll also show up on special Product Hunt leaderboards, starting with the first event on April 13.
So this is not just another application form floating around the internet. There is real money on the table, and if you get in, people will actually see you.

This is huge! Also, curious who were the YC interview winners! :D
Just found @Sutra was chosen!
@alexeyglukharev Our selection process includes human review by real investors with proven track records. We'd love to see you in the mix!
This grant/application sounds great! Could you possibly provide some more details about it?

Omg omg! Let me share this with founders - it’s truly a great opportunity. I love these collaborations, they keep making Product Hunt more and more valuable in every aspect 😻

@ilaiszp Hi Ilai, thanks for your patience! Our judging team is currently heads down reviewing applications. If you are selected to compete at one of the regional events, you will be reached out to directly!
@aaronoleary me , can I share my existing SaaS or new idea only ?
@aaronoleary @mandeepsng You can apply with your existing SaaS!
Applying! Built ParcelPing after drowning in 'where's my order?' emails every day. Finally automated it 😅
This is interesting 👀
We just launched LocalSpy AI today — helps local businesses understand why competitors are actually winning customers (beyond just reviews and pricing).
Definitely applying for this. Curious what kind of products have won in the past?
Sounds like a good opportunity. But I wonder if this supports organic growth or if it's tailored more to "bigger" players who may have more bandwidth to participate in competitions and what other terms are attached to winning this money.
@samir_tout Hi Samir, we are industry and stage-agnostic. We'd love to hear your pitch! Our terms are viewable here: https://www.deel.com/the-pitch-by-deel/terms/
@vanya_kostova From what I've seen in similar competitions, solo founders with live products tend to stand out more than teams with ideas — traction (even small) beats structure almost every time at early stage.
I'm in a similar position: solo dev, three live products (Autoreport, Valix, and a comparison site), zero paying customers yet. Applying anyway. The worst outcome is visibility from the thread itself.
