Experiment: If your startup is growing fast and could use $300K, email me :)
I ran a similar experiment on Twitter a while ago and realized I should have asked the Product Hunt community.
First, some context: I started Weekend Fund in 2017 while I was still the CEO at Product Hunt. Today, @vedika_jain and I write $100K to $300K checks into early-stage startups (most of which launched on Product Hunt at some point). Our background is in product and community building, but we have a network of over 400 LPs across every domain from data science to enterprise sales. More details at weekend.fund.
If you're primary KPI (revenue, MAU, etc.) is growing 20%+ for 6+ months, drop me a note with details ryan@weekend.fund. If you have a deck, please share but we'd also love to chat with founders that aren't actively raising but could use our capital and help. :)

Will you share the results of this experiment (even if you don't name names)? :)

@chrismessina @jordimonpmm I received several replies but none turned into a check (yet). Many companies are growing nicely, but still very early.
There are also several AI-powered companies that have good growth rates but there's a common pattern of high churn as consumers get curious to try new things but are ultimately left disappointed.
Sounds amazing! https://mockey.ai has grown so well in the last 6-8 months! 1M+ Monthly users now 🚀
Sending a deck very soon.
Mockey AI has come a long way since this launch :)

do you invest in companies who are competitors with your portfolio companies?
Hi Ryan,
