How it works

From listing to launch day glory in 5 steps

List your launch, back the founders whose products you'd genuinely upvote, and form pacts when they'd back yours too. On launch day, you show up for each other — verified by screenshot, so nobody can flake.

1
Step 01
List your launch
Tell the network when you're hitting Product Hunt. Add your product name, link, tagline, and launch date — you'll appear in the feed of founders launching around the same time as you.
2
Step 02
Back launches you'd actually upvote
Browse other founders launching in the next few weeks. Open the ones that catch your eye, take a real look at the product, and back the ones you'd genuinely upvote. That's a pledge — your one-way commitment to show up on their launch day.

Step 03
Form a pact when it's mutual
The founder gets a notification with a link to your product. If they'd back yours too, they accept — and a pact forms. You're both now locked in to upvote each other on launch day. Genuine interest on both sides, no awkward asks.

Step 04
Upvote each other, verified
When your pact partner launches, we send you a reminder. You head to Product Hunt, upvote them, snap a screenshot, and upload it — AI verifies it in seconds. They do the same when your turn comes. Verification keeps everyone honest, so nobody can quietly flake.

Step 05
Launch with real momentum
Early upvotes are what push a product into Product Hunt's top of the day. Stack a handful of pacts and you'll launch with momentum from founders who genuinely believe in what you built. Honour your pacts and your trust score grows — making the next ones even easier to land.
