Product Hunt
Happy Figma IPO day, tech friends
Paddle
It's always inspiring and fascinating to look back at the first launches of these companies from years ago - thanks for sharing those.
I just checked Figma’s first launch on Product Hunt from 9 years ago and spotted this conversation between you and the CEO & CPO :D
Who would’ve guessed that Figma would go on to become a household name in the design industry after that initial launch...
... and then:
Btw, you were already active on Product Hunt 9 years ago—huge congrats on your consistency, @chrismessina !
@chrismessina :) Good (growing) list! Common theme? Product focus. Spot big changes early. Build strong user communities. Start here on Product Hunt!.
It's so cool seeing how far these companies have come. PH is kind of like the indie music scene for startups, those who knew, knew. I remember thinking @hims looked like a niche brand, now they're everywhere.
Wait, Figma and Slack were Product Hunt launches?! Mind blown. 😲
Makes me wanna scroll through the current launches and find the next unicorn.
I remember when Robinhood dropped on PH everyone was hyped in the comments. Time flies.
PH really is more than just a launchpad. It's a legit early signal for breakout products.
Great list!
It's amazing how these companies started here! Literally from the earliest stage to becoming known around the world.
And it looks like Discord might be the next company that launched here to go public. We’ll be waiting for Plaid or another one to reach number 10.
I only know Figma and Slack 😄, and I’ve heard of Bumble. Curious to check out the rest!
