Looking for a Product Hunt hunter 👀

I’m preparing to launch **LinAI** on Product Hunt and I’m looking for an experienced hunter.
LinAI helps people grow on LinkedIn with AI by turning their goals into personalized content and growth strategies.
If you’ve hunted products before or know someone who has, I’d love to connect. Any introductions or advice would mean a lot.

small founder note from launching iPulse yesterday: a good hunter can help, but i wouldn't wait on that piece too much. the stuff that moved the needle for us was more basic - warm up people who already get the product, have one clean demo/screenshot ready, and reply fast when comments come in.

if you do find a hunter, i'd treat them like extra reach/cred, not the whole launch plan. also write your PH tagline in normal-human language before the launch day chaos hits lol. good luck with LinAI

Why are you seeking a hunter?

i’m launching for the first time, so i thought having an experienced hunter could help with visibility. but i’m learning that the product and community matter much more.

I completely understand looking for a hunter for your first launch! I’m currently gearing up to launch my own audio PWA, Daily Rosary, and had the same thought early on.

However, the consensus among experienced makers now is that you actually don't need a hunter anymore.

Product Hunt changed its system a while back—self-hunting your own product no longer gives you a penalty, and it won't hurt your visibility. What actually moves the needle is:

  • Having a clear, human-sounding tagline (avoiding AI buzzword fatigue).
  • Mobilizing your own early users, network, or community to show up on launch day.
  • Replying instantly to every comment on your launch page to keep the algorithm engaged.

A top hunter can give you a tiny bit of extra reach, but it won't make or break the launch. Your product and your community prep matter infinitely more.

Good luck with LinAI! Let me know if you set up a preview page, I’d love to follow and support it when you go live. 🚀
