Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Confession: I'm a shipper, and like most shippers, I suck at marketing.
I can build and launch a product in a weekend, but getting it in front of people? Cold DMs, crossed fingers, and shouting into the void. Meanwhile there are marketers out there who love indie products and can't find us either. Both sides want each other — there was just no place to meet.
So I built Shipmate: a Tinder-style app where founders and marketers find each other.
How it works:
🚢 Founders create a project card and swipe marketers who can grow it
📈 Marketers create their card and swipe projects worth growing
💙 Mutual like → match → chat → build together
Both sides are equal here. No "talent pool", no agency middleman, no fees. And you can try the swipe demo on the site without even signing up.
Honest disclaimer: we're in beta, gathering the founding cohort. Matching opens once enough people are aboard — so every signup today literally builds the network. If you ship products or grow them, creating your card takes 2 minutes and puts you in the first deck. 🙏
It's free. It will stay free for the founding cohort.
Question for you: as a founder, what's been your worst experience trying to find marketing help? (I'll trade you mine in the replies 😅)
