Product Hunt is a daily product discovery community where users submit, browse, vote, and comment on new tech products, apps, games, and websites. Founded in November 2013 by Ryan Hoover (with Nathan Bashaw) as an email list, Product Hunt rapidly grew into a leading platform for makers and early adopters to launch and discover products. It participated in Y Combinator's Summer 2014 batch and was acquired by AngelList in December 2016.
