Borrow Distribution, Not Capital

Distribution is the hardest part of being early-stage. ProductClank makes it borrowable. Founders launch a campaign. Creators, growth scouts, and Product Hunt hunters bring the reach — and earn only when your product hits real milestones. No upfront ad spend. No equity. No begging for attention. You ship. They amplify. Everyone wins together. Season 1 is now open. Pick your role and sign up — founder, scout, creator, or hunter.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
When I started building ProductClank, I ran into the same wall every bootstrapped founder hits: I couldn't afford to pay creators upfront. Not because the product wasn't ready - but because the model was broken. You know what you pay, you don't know what you get.
I wanted to build something where creators only win when the product actually wins.
But the more I looked at it, the bigger the problem got. There's no shortage of great products, loyal audiences, or operators who know how to drive growth. What's missing is the coordination layer - a structure that aligns incentives so distribution flows toward products people actually believe in, not just products with the biggest ad budget.
That's what ProductClank is. A platform where builders don't borrow capital to grow - they borrow distribution.
We ran Season 0 to stress-test the model - $100K distributed to creators, real campaigns, real results. It worked. Now we're opening it up.
Season 1 is the first full run. founders apply, creators and growth scouts vote on who makes the cohort - then run campaigns for the products they backed. Skin in the game before day one. Zero upfront. Everyone earns when it works.
🏗️ Builders - Apply, get voted in, and grow. Bonus: offer fellow cohort members credits or a coupon to try your product - and get access to every other tool in the cohort.
🎙️ Creators - Browse the cohort, vote for what you believe in, promote what you backed - and earn when it grows.
🧭 Growth Scouts - Match your playbook to the right product. Earn when growth lands.
Lean, curated, in public. Come join the experiment 👇
@lior_goldenberg3 Hi Lior, congrats on the launch. I love this idea, interesting take on solving distro. How do you deal with the lag from voting-pitching- you're in?
How do you match a founder with the right creators or hunters for their niche?

@karimbenkeroum great question, this is one of the unique aspects - we let those who have the distribution decide who THEY believe in and want to support.
This way they get the confidence of backing products and startups the love and know their audience would too!
