Hi everyone! We’re very excited to launch Claimdog today on Product Hunt. Claimdog lets you search to see if a business owes you money.

@dfinzer Congrats on launching, Devin! Great that you're able to help people claim money! Curious, how are *you* making money? ps, Nice post about celebrities who are owed money. Kayne could use the $37 owed from the Foot Locker: https://claimdog.wordpress.com/2...

@will_pattison @mccannatron Yes, we love that idea! However, we were under the impression that the new restrictions on Facebook's graph prevented us from grabbing a full list of friends these days (I believe you can only grab the friends that already use the app, but correct me if I'm wrong!) We have considered gmail contact import as an alternative, but it… See more

@dfinzer Great product: I found a couple hundred bucks :) Issue with unclaimed property though is still having to navigate hoops and state-based archaic websites. Definitely a nice database + search engine, but would be even better to streamline this like the common application for colleges - and pay $X for lifetime alerts and access to unclaimed propert… See more

@rossblankenship @dfinzer Hey Ross, glad you found some money! We’re really excited about the idea of a “common app” for unclaimed money; we’re experimenting with that idea just in California for now but hope to expand to other states. We’ll reach out via email.
