Podcast: Product Hunt’s Ryan Hoover dishes on community, monetization, and the transition to CEO
Few online communities have taken off with anywhere close to the level of momentum seen from Product Hunt over the last year. The product- and design-focused discovery platform owes much of its success to the near-universal appeal and keen instincts of its founder, Ryan Hoover.
Hoover joined Upfront’s Mark Suster on Bothsides TV last week, sharing behind the scenes insights into how he fostered such an engaged and supportive community, how entrepreneurs and builders can get the most value out of the Product Hunt platform, and how he personally made the transition from product manager to the CEO of a high profile and rapidly growing company, among other gems.
