Introducing Ambassadors: For Makers, By Makers
When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn’t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn’t know where I fit in.
But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.
That first launch became Product of the Day.
We were later nominated for Product of the Year.
In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.
And now in 2025, I’ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!
It’s a small group of Makers who get it – and are here to give back.
We’re here to help you feel less alone. To cheer you on. To answer questions, review launch plans, or just give honest feedback. Each of us brings our own perspective, experience, and passion for what the Product Hunt community stands for.
👋 I’m one of the Ambassadors right now, but you can identify other Ambassadors by the Ambassador badge on their profile. @chrismessina, @fmerian, and @busmark_w_nika are some others, who are willing to help. If you ever need support or just want to talk through your launch, we’d love to hear from you!

You have a wonderful journey with ProductHunt. I have been there for several years and launched my tools, with little attention. Until last year, my launch of PopPop AI Vocal Remover ranked 10th for that day. I know how powerful ProductHunt is.
@charlenechen_123 That’s amazing—ranking #10 is no small feat! If you’re ever planning another launch, I’d be happy to help however I can—feel free to reach out anytime🧡

I will launch our new version of SurFast Video Downloader on 07/22 and your help will be great for us. Thank you in advance.
Awesome! PH is such a magical place. Everyone I've met here is amazing. It's great to see everyone building the community into something even more fun, each in their own way! 🙌

Thank you for sharing your journey, Elly! It's inspiring to see how the community's kindness helped transform your first launch into such incredible milestones. The Ambassador program sounds like a wonderful way to give back – having experienced makers ready to guide others makes such a difference. Your story perfectly captures what makes the PH community special 🤗

This is such a whole some update, Elly! Loved reading your journey it’s a great reminder of how strong and kind the PH community can be. It’s easy to feel lost during a first launch, so knowing there’s a group of people ready to guide and cheer you on makes a huge difference.
Big congrats on becoming an Ambassador and thank you (and the whole team) for giving back to makers like us 🙌
Looking forward to reaching out when it’s time for my next launch!
