New products to help you find talent and investors:

HackerMatch

If you’re a non-technical founder and need help building out your product, you’ll love HackerMatch. Use the app to connect with talented developers who can help you turn your idea into a sustainable business.

HAWKSCORE

Hawkscore is a new metric that will help startups analyze their newest users and benchmark the value of their audience for investors, clients, advertisers, and more. This upcoming product comes from the same team that built VIPhawk, a tool that sends you notifications when celebrities, journalists, investors, and other “VIPs” use your signup form.

Venture 360

The Venture 360 team is working on a new feature to help you position your startup to “always be raising” capital. The company itself is one of the largest investment fund management platforms. You can use the site to raise capital, manage your cap table, and send investor reports.

MeetPro

MeetPro will help you connect with just about any kind of professional you’re looking for — from personal trainers and therapists, to investors and startup consultants. Get connected instantly once you pay a reasonable meeting fee. When a warm introduction isn’t available, this is a great alternative.

Collabster

Collabster is a useful tool for discovering projects you can join or finding great talent to help you build your project. Create a project to share your ideas with others, and create a set of roles for users to join so they know how they can collaborate with you.

Launchbids

Launchbids wants to make it easier for you to find your next technical co-founder. Safely post your idea, and amazing developers from around the world will place equity bids to help you build it. You can chat with finalists in the app, upload your own agreement, and start building your product.

New tools to help you build your own product:

wiARframe

wiARframe is the first dedicated AR prototyping tool. Now you can effortlessly design and prototype interactive AR apps—no code required.

Input

As startups grow, it gets harder to keep everyone on the same page, get new employees up to speed, and have one place to focus on work. Input is a one-stop shop for creating and sharing all of the important stuff with your team—from ongoing project updates to office manuals. Keeping track of questions, ideas, processes, and memos across your company is about to get easier.

Whimsical

Creating diagrams is often quite tedious. Whimsical makes it easier to produce simple, fast, and beautiful diagrams without any crazy effort. Finally, you can focus on your idea instead of formatting.

Sandboxes

If you’re building a website for a new project or startup, use Sandboxes to get instant previews of websites and apps.

LogoFox

If you are about to launch a startup but don’t want to spend a lot of money on logo design, check out LogoFox. Create a logo in minutes by typing in your company name, choosing from various options (text-only, icon-only, monograms, and more), and browsing through automated designs until you find one you love.

New products that will help you grow and manage your startup:

Alore CRM

Alore CRM is an AI-powered sales machine that will help you create ongoing, predictable revenue for your company immediately. Use it to find business email addresses, run automated drip campaigns, monitor the performance of your sales team, and more.

Brim

Brim connects your email to your CRM, giving you relationship superpowers. It’ll let you know when you should send follow-up emails, what your meetings are for the day, when it’s time to reconnect with one of your contacts, and more. This is an incredibly useful tool for sales professionals and anyone who’s interested in relationship building.

URL Click Tracker

We’re excited about the launch of URL Click Tracker, which is a Chrome plugin that will shorten the tracking URL for anyone who clicked on links you shared—including external links—and target them with specific ads via Adwords, Facebook, and more. This could be an interesting way for startups to grow their audiences by curating and sharing pre-existing content.

Plutio

Manage your entire business with one app: Plutio. You can use it to bring your projects, tasks, files, invoices, and more into a single platform. This tool is designed specifically for small teams and freelancers. It serves as a project management, invoice creation, and rolodex—all in one.

Press Kite

Press Kite helps you build a modern press kit, complete with a custom domain, analytics, and PR support. Once you sign up, a PR specialist will get back to you within the hour to help you get started. You send all of the copy and images you’ve got, and the Press Kite team will take care of the rest. Once your kit is finished, use the site to monitor traffic and and drive valuable PR.

BrandMentions 2.0

Use BrandMentions 2.0 to monitor your brand and competitors accurately. Learn who says what about your company and other companies you want to track in near real time.

Deaton

When Deaton launches, it will help startups with limited resources save money and manage their expenses. The idea: If you have a better understanding of your expenses, it can lead to smarter funding allocation, and often an extended runway. The Product Hunt 2016 Maker of the Year Mubashar Iqbal is building this—and better yet, he’s sharing what he learns along the way as he brings this side project to life.

Lastform

Lastform is a form and survey builder with advanced marketing features. Build with multiple conformation screens, email notifications, redirects, conditional logic support, and more.

Letterfuel

It’s not easy to create an engaging newsletter consistently. With the Letterfuel Chrome extension, save interesting links you may want to add to your newsletter at some point. Then, export the content you want to use to MailChimp or your preferred email service, and use styling customizations to make it your own.

If you’re ready to launch your own product soon, check out our new toolkit for makers, Ship. We built this to help makers and startups capture emails, build an audience, and build better products with help from their community. 😊
