Knock it down and the other pins will fall along.
Innovators are like the first pin on a bowling alley. Facebook grew from popular-hungry Harvard, Uber from open-minded San Francisco and Slack from tech-savvy companies wanting to beta-test. All three started out targeting a small group of users and ended up leading their markets. This is how Facebook, Uber and Slack became big fellas. Whatever happens, you’ll be smarter than you were yesterday. Innovators will get you across the chasm, which is the big wide gap sitting between you and your target masses. They’ll share their findings with the world and, if they like what they see, may even end up promoting your product. They look beyond the bugs and spartan features to see if your product deserves to exist. They‘re okay with it still shitting the bed from time to time 💩. Why? Because these are the ones willing to take your product for a spin when it’s still a baby. The people you need to get on board first are innovators. Others just die along the way because they fail to understand how it works. Facebook, Slack, Uber and DVDs (still ring a bell?) - heck, even underwear at some point must have gone through it (hope those do ring a bell?). The Product Adoption Curve is something all new kids on the block have to go through. To get there, you need to understand how a new product finds its way in the market and makes its way to new users. You want this because, well, everyone building a product wants this. The reason you should care is that you want people to start using your product. More upvotes will get your product higher on Product Hunt’s frontpage, getting you some solid street cred with a community packed with early adopters, curious investors and avid entrepreneurs. The site kind of works like reddit, with users posting products and the community making or breaking them with comments and upvotes. Not just tech, but also books, podcasts and games - you name it. A tightly-knit community of like-minded geeks who bond over anything hot 🔥 and the new ✨. Today, Product Hunt is Silicon Valley’s favourite little playground on the web. Within two weeks, Ryan’s little mailing list had 170 subscribers devouring discoveries from 30 hand-picked contributors, consisting of startup founders, VCs, and prominent bloggers. It’s a question we all ask and it turned out to be one hell of a community builder. In its cute early days as an MVP, Product Hunt was a mailing list, build on this one question:
As he didn’t find anything, he did the entrepreneurial thing and started it himself. For Ryan, new products are an opportunity to learn and, most of all, a way of connecting with like-minded people.īack in 2013, Ryan was looking for a one-stop-shop to discover the hottest new tech products. Ryan is one of those guys that just friggin’ loves everything that’s new and cool. Product Hunt is the little baby of Ryan Hoover. In that case: could you slip me Elon’s number real quick? 🙃 Don’t worry about the Product Hunt thing, I got you covered 👐. If you’ve never heard of Product Hunt, I’m gonna guess you’ve been exploring Mars in search of alternative fuels.
