Hi everyone - I’m so excited to introduce you to something we’ve been working on for a while which was inspired by all of you, the awesome community of makers and early adopters here on Product Hunt. Say hello to Hyper and, more specifically, to the Hyper founder program. Product Hunt has always been the heart of the maker movement. It has helped countless companies find their audiences — including startups like Notion, Airtable, Zoom, and Slack, which all launched on Product Hunt. And that’s what the Hyper founder program is about, helping even more makers find success. Things have changed a bit over the years, but there are still common challenges all startups seem to face. And breaking through the noise to reach potential customers or users is harder than ever. That’s where the Hyper program comes in. If you’re a founder or a maker with an idea for a company, you can apply to be part of Hyper’s first season of companies starting today. The application is here:https://hyper.com/#apply and closes at midnight on August 10. -Josh

@joshbuckley what might be some good examples of the support a founder might get from the hyper team vs the advisors?

@jarenglover The core Hyper team and partners will be engaged with companies throughout the duration of the program. Founders can depend on the team for consistent support. An advisor's involvement, on the other hand, could be any of the following (i) regular meetings (ii) office hour session (iii) speaker session. Not all advisors will be involved in the same way.

This is so cool to see from @producthunt ✌️ @joshbuckley do you have a guideline for those applying - e.g. stage, traction?

@producthunt @joshbuckley this probably answers it to some extent: If you’re a founder at an an early-stage startup, or if you’re thinking about starting one, you should apply here to join Hyper’s Fall season.

Sounds awesome! I'm excited to apply. Will the 8-week program be in-person / on-site somewhere? Hybrid? On the site it mentions you'll be sharing more info in the coming weeks and months -- I'm curious about what the program is like from a day-to-day perspective.

@aj_alkasmi Hi AJ! Excited to have you apply. The program will be remote, however we are planning an in-person kick-off event for founders to meet one another. More information to come.

Great one! - Are you a fund or a syndicate? - Are funds like A16z, 20VC and Sequoia investing directly into your fund? If not, how does your partnership model with them work? - Which investment vehicle do you use? Assuming convertible, how do you approach valuation / caps / percentages?

@stefan_smiljkovic Though we aren't geographically constrained, we do want companies to be incorporated in Delaware. We will help foreign companies reincorporate in the US.

This is big news for the Product Hunt community. Hyper and this expansion in the business model will allow us to double down on our focus to support makers and founders. One example: The Product Hunt team has already grown by 50% this year. 😸
