Pitch your product. Win $1M+

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.

@aaronoleary @Deel Can we still apply if we've just launched Akievo today?

Karissa Paddie

@aaronoleary  @martyn_johnson Yes, you can!

This is huge - love the mix of real funding and actual visibility.
Curious what kind of products you’re prioritizing for this round?

Karissa Paddie

@julia_lemon Hi Julia, we are industry-agnostic. We'd love to hear your pitch!

This is a really great idea. I'm wondering what stage the product development has to be in for someone to stand a real chance. For example, showcasing a prototype and having a really compelling and strong pitch OR a fully thought out and built product that's ready to go and just waiting for funding in order to take off.

Can a solo developer participate too? I'm building my first AI SaaS, ReplyGain, and I would need funding as I'm self-funded.

Karissa Paddie

@jiteshghanchi Yes, you can!

Hello Aria — AI assistant that manages your day through WhatsApp and Telegram. Think of it as the interface layer between your messaging apps and your actual schedule. You send it a message like "block 2 hours for deep work tomorrow morning" and it handles the rest.

We launched on Product Hunt on April 10th and have ~3k users. Flat subscription, 3-month free trial (iOS app available). Pre-Series A.

The problem we solve: most people already live inside WhatsApp or Telegram. We bring AI productivity to where you actually spend your time, instead of asking you to adopt yet another productivity app.
