Startup directory guide
Product Hunt
A scheduled launch platform with daily product discovery, comments and community voting.
When Product Hunt fits
Use Product Hunt when the product is live enough for visitors to try and the team can be present on launch day to explain the product and answer questions.
How to prepare the submission
- Create a personal account; Product Hunt says company accounts cannot post products.
- Prepare a direct product URL, concise name and tagline, description, square thumbnail, gallery assets and a useful first comment.
- Choose only a few launch tags that closely match the product and ask for feedback rather than votes.
Selection guidance
Product Hunt says fully launched products are prioritized. An email-only pre-launch page is not eligible for the homepage, so wait until people can meaningfully explore the product.
Directory listings can support discovery when the audience and product match. They do not guarantee approval, traffic, backlinks, search rankings or customers. Keep the listing accurate and update it when the product changes.
