šŸ’ƒ Where are the women hunters?

by•

I understand that hunting has traditionally been seen as a man's thing.

But Product Hunting is a completely different thing =)

There are so many women makers, marketers, designers, and developers on PH. I’ve met and interacted with quite a few of them.

But when I look at the top hunters…

I honestly couldn’t find women among the top hunters.

So I’m curious - why do you think that is?

Is it about trust? Visibility? The way the community works?
Or is there another reason I’m missing?

Where are the women hunters?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Trust might play a role too. Becoming someine founders regularly approach to hunt their product probably takes time and visibility.

Ā Yes, and honestly, I think in some fields men naturally get a bit more trust than women.

Even when women have the same visibility and experience šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Its great question. Maybe seeing more women actively hunt and talk about that experience would encourage others to try it too.

Ā Agreed! It actually started to interest me… I’d love to see more strong women behind strong products and ideas =)

I actually had an experience last week that made me think about this.

A maker offered me to hunt their product (I guess he saw me at #1 on the leaderboard and thought I was a Hunter).

But then, after I asked for the materials for the hunt, he changed his mind - maybe he realized I’m not actually a Hunter =D

And that’s when the idea popped into my head: why not? =)

So I started looking into it and realized I couldn’t find a single woman Hunter at all.
