Anyone with a new mobile app, website, hardware or tech creation is itching to post their product on Product Hunt and see those upvotes rolling in. We at Launch Academy understand how important it is to not only ship new products but showcase them to peers to get feedback and support. Our quarterly Product Hunt Meetup allows for both.

Last night’s meetup, sponsored by our partners at Aingel.ai, brought 8 awesome demos ranging from cybersecurity protection to health and wellness apps. Below is a full list of all the demo companies who came out to showcase what they’re working on.

  1. ClickSitter

ClickSitter’s founders, a husband-wife duo, are currently members of Launch Academy’s Maple Program. The company originally launched in Brazil where their app was recently voted the best app for parents by Apple Brazil! ClickSitter’s app makes it simple for parents and certified, local babysitters to connect, easing the stress of finding childcare.

2. MirrorTrip

Renting a car is easy enough, but trying to book a one-way trip can be a nightmare (not to mention cost a fortune!) MirrorTrip is making one-way car rentals a lot easier by connecting two strangers with similar travel plans — helping both people avoid drop-off fees by turning one-way trips into a round trip.

3. Me’n’us

Me’n’us uses AI to help you find dishes in your area that suit your tastes and diet, without having to ask your server a million questions. The app stores and scans menu information from local restaurants, making it easier for you to find exactly what you’re looking to order.

4. MetaCert

Cybersecurity often gets a bad rap for not being the sexiest subject, but it’s critically important to keep your tech company safe. MetaCert provides anti-phishing security and protection for crypto companies who want to guard their customers against fraud. Not only does MetaCert provide these services, but they make it easy for companies and consumers alike to install and remain protected without having to think twice about it.

5. Introwise

Have you ever been to an event for the sole purpose of networking, but once you walk in the door you find yourself drawn immediately to your seat? Introwise helps to lessen the uncomfortable introductions at events by connecting attendees prior to arriving, matching people with similar interests and even hobbies.

6. Eloujn

Sure, DoorDash delivers you a cheeseburger when you can’t fathom leaving the couch, but have you ever forgot your gym bag at home before leaving for work or realized you forgot to pick up a friends birthday present with no time to shop yourself? Eloujn facilitates round-the-clock deliveries, connecting you with available drivers, bikers or even walkers, when you don’t have the time to pick-up something yourself.

7. myMomentum

myMomentum just launched their new app a day before the meetup and is fully launching their product next month! Their app rewards you for making healthy choices and staying motivated by partnering with local companies where you can redeem rewards and treat yo self.

8. Advize

Does your company go in circles trying to understand your customers? Well, you’re not alone, and Advize is here to help. They use AI-powered text analytics to scour through open text customer feedback, giving prominent themes and feedback in a readable and understandable format so you can act right away, and keep those customers happy!
