Does anyone else use PH launches as an investor touchpoint?
by•
Been working on launches for a while now and noticed people underestimate this angle.
A few things that actually work:
Investors browse PH. More than founders realize. A strong launch = visibility in rooms.
Top launch page = pitch deck material. It's third-party proof that real people showed up and cared, commneted and reviewed + team worked well. That belongs in a deck.
The new "Connect with Investors" section (did someone notice as well?) inside the submission flow is great!
And there was a Pitch Day with Deel + YC (hope new days are coming soon) specifically for PH founders. That's a real door.
Has anyone here actually gotten investor conversations from a PH launch? Would love to hear what worked.

That’s one of the main reasons to be here I think. Somebody is always around the corner, you never know…
I wouldn’t bet on it, but the possibility of finding Investors here is surely higher then in other places.
I’d treat PH more as a warm signal than a direct fundraising channel. A strong launch gives you something real to follow up with: users showed up, people cared, and the team can execute publicly.
