Rakesh Goyal joined Product Hunt in October 2019 and has hunted 3 featured products, collected 412 upvotes across those launches, averaging 137 upvotes per hunt.
A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — adding the images, the link, and tagging the makers. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified when they post, which is why hunters with reach can give a launch real momentum. Around 79% of featured posts on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
