What is Product Hunt
Product Hunt is a curation of the best new products in tech, where makers launch and users discover innovative products every day.
The platform
Product Hunt is a community-driven platform where product makers and founders can launch their products and get feedback from a global audience of early adopters, tech enthusiasts, and investors. Every day, new products are featured and ranked by community votes, creating a daily leaderboard of the most exciting launches.
The platform serves two main groups. Makers use Product Hunt to launch their products, gather feedback, and build an initial user base. Users come to Product Hunt to discover new tools, apps, and services that are changing how we work and live.
