Hunters who are visible and active on Product Hunt – Short List

by
Ambassador

I usually get a few messages from makers during the week asking if I could hunt them.

Short answer: I don't currently hunt 😀 (but maybe in the future)

However, I do have a few recommendations for people who are active on the platform and have extensive hunting experience.

Here is a list of active hunters:

Of course, there are more hunters with a solid quota of hunted products, I just listed those whom I have seen frequently over the last couple of days.

If you know more, feel free to add their names in the comments. :-)

Oh Nika, you will definitely be an excellent hunter in the future! :)

@zaczuo Thank you :D MAYBE! :D

Ju Chuang Ark

@zaczuo  @busmark_w_nika No doubt about it.😸

Joseph Burutu

Hey @zaczuo,
I know this might be coming pretty late but we'd appreciate any support we can get from you tomorrow. We are launching on PH tomorrow.

Sam @CRANQ

Do these hunters typically want payment for their work?

I'm kinda on the lookout for someone to help w/ the launch but not entirely sure what the best way to go about this is...

Nika

@cranqnow To be honest, I do not know whether they have some payments. I know that some offer consultations for payment.

Sam @CRANQ

@busmark_w_nika Ok thanks for that Nika - Really appreciate the advice!!

Nika

@cranqnow You are welcome :)

@cranqnow fyi you can read this in Product Hunt's official launch guide:

There is no rule against using a hunter outside of your team, but paying people to hunt your product goes against our guidelines.

Sam @CRANQ

@fmerian Ahhh very good thanks for this :)

I had a feeling this would be the case, I wouldn't want a paid hunter anyways :)

Nika
Ambassador

@cranqnow  @fmerian I didn't know about these articles :D Is it something new? :D

Ankit Sharma

@cranqnow  @fmerian Exactly, people are selling plan for hunting and taking guarantees of #1 , #2, or #3 places, shame.

Nika
Ambassador

@cranqnow  @fmerian  @saaswarrior Reality: "Hi, Nika... we had some hunter who guaranteed us the first place, but we are not featured at all, can you help us? What can we do? Do something about it." :DDD

nice :D

Sam @CRANQ

@fmerian  @saaswarrior  @busmark_w_nika Ahhahahha lol definitely happened a fair few times

Yan Bingbing

@katya_prusakova And you are co-creating it ;)

Ankit Sharma

Thanks @busmark_w_nika for mentioning me; I really appreciate it 😍. I just want to let everyone know that I don't charge money to hunt any tool. So simply reach out to me; if I like the product, I am ready to become Hunter. Best wishes to all. 🤩

Claudia Jiang

@busmark_w_nika This is awesome - thanks! We're currently looking for hunters to help with our launch (https://www.producthunt.com/products/umu), so this was really an amazing post at the right time!

Nika

@claudia_jiang Wish you good luck – maybe this post will help you to match with someone :)

@chrismessina and @benln are legends 🫡

Nika

@chrismessina  @benln  @eljo_prifti Obligatory items in the list :)

Eljo Prifti

@busmark_w_nika have you ever considered being a hunter?

Nika
Ambassador

@eljo_prifti A few years ago, but then I chose a little but different way of using this platform :)

Joseph Burutu

If only we could get@chrismessina to hunt us tomorrow. 😞

Edward Michaelson

just spoke to @rohanrecommends . Incredibly good use of time. Super pertinent and up-to-date knowledge of the platform. Highly recommend.

Nika

@rohanrecommends  @emikes919 Happy to know that there was an outcome from that :)

Adithya Shreshti
👋👋 Still focus on organic hunts only like the early days of PH.
Nika
Ambassador

@adithya Good to know. Do you still hunt? Because I noticed the last launch a few months ago.

Alula Kibrom
@busmark_w_nika great list. Noted for my upcoming launch.
Nika
Ambassador

@altsyset When is the date? 👀

Alula Kibrom
@busmark_w_nika tbh few weeks ago lol. But I am looking at end of June now.
Nika
Ambassador

@altsyset Looking forward to that. I couldn't see the "Launching soon" badge next to your profile. Maybe it could increase your visibility and spark curiosity. 👀

Ju Chuang Ark

Nika, you are so reliable. Thank you for compiling this list :D

Nika
Ambassador

@partick_support You are welcome! :D TBH, there are more people who launched hundred of products but I dunno whether they are active ATM :D

fmerian
Ambassador

thanks for the mention, Nika!

always happy to help products launch. fyi i really focus on developer tools and open-source software, products like @Corbado @Jolt AI or more recently @next-forge — acq. by @Vercel.

if you're building a dev tool and are planning a product launch, feel free to reach out:

@fmerian You are welcome! :) This is a great speed hunter-dating! :D

Michael

Sorry, I’m still new to all this, is it okay to reach out to them through their social media, or is there a better way to connect?

Nika
Ambassador

@michaellambryl I think that if you mail them (email), it will be more formal. But it depends, some are active more on LI :)

Tristan Pollock

hihi! always happy to help and have one of the best upvotes to hunts ratios <3

Nika
Ambassador

@pollock Wait, I'll add you on the list :)

Joseph Burutu

Hi Nika!
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome list. How do I reach out to these guys? I am launching my product on the 27th of June and need some serious "hunting"

Nika

@joseph_burutu Have you tried LinkedIn?

Nika
Ambassador

@joseph_burutu I would also have a look whether they have any website and email in the Contact (footer)

Joseph Burutu

@busmark_w_nika Thanks a lot, Nika. I've actually reached out to them already. Fingers crossed that they respond. P.s; Our PMM also sent you a DM on X.

Nika
Ambassador

@joseph_burutu Really? What is her name? :D Because some messages are filtered. P.S. I sent your comment to Flo :)

Joseph Burutu

@busmark_w_nika Thank you so much, Nika! You've been super helpful! Her handle is @Oghenekom
