How LaunchPact Works
List your upcoming Product Hunt launch with your tagline and date. Browse the feed of founders launching in the same window. When you find a product you'd actually upvote, pledge your support.
If they pledge back, a pact forms — you're both locked in for launch day. When their day arrives, you upvote on Product Hunt, upload a screenshot, and AI verifies it instantly. They do the same when your turn comes. Partners who don't verify lose trust score.
- Browse founders launching near your date — no spam lists
- Pledge support only to products you'd genuinely upvote
- Form pacts when backing is mutual, not forced
- Verify every upvote with screenshot proof on launch day
- Build trust score by honoring your pacts consistently
LaunchPact vs Reddit & Discord Upvote Groups
Reddit and Discord upvote groups promise reciprocal support but deliver inconsistent results. There's no verification, no accountability, and no protection when Product Hunt filters low-quality votes.

Why Verified Upvotes Actually Matter
Product Hunt clears low-quality votes every few hours on launch day. Upvotes from brand-new accounts, duplicate IPs, or mass-reciprocal groups get filtered. You see a spike — then it disappears.
Verified upvotes from established founders with diverse accounts stick. That's why mutual pacts through LaunchPact outperform a 50-person Discord channel where nobody uploads proof. Read more in our Product Hunt upvotes FAQ.
Who's Using LaunchPact
LaunchPact is used by solo founders, indie hackers, and small teams launching B2B SaaS, dev tools, AI products, and productivity apps on Product Hunt. The common thread: they want a launch network of real supporters — not a paid upvote service or flaky upvote group.
Founders who honor pacts build trust scores that make future pacts easier to form. The network gets stronger as more founders launch verified.
Frequently asked questions
No. Buying upvotes means paying strangers who may use bots or fake accounts. LaunchPact is a launch network where founders who genuinely support each other's products form mutual pacts — with screenshot proof for every upvote.
Upvote groups ask you to mass-upvote everyone in a list. LaunchPact is different: you browse founders launching near your date, back only products you'd genuinely use, and form pacts when backing is mutual. No quotas, no spam lists.
Most founders aim for 8–15 verified pacts before launch day. That gives you a strong early velocity boost without relying on mass upvote groups that Product Hunt may filter out.
Yes. Many first-time launchers use LaunchPact to build a launch network before their debut. Back other founders launching near your date, form pacts, and show up for each other on launch day.
