Congrats on raising money, I'm not sure what Product Hunt will do with $6 million and how it will get a return on that investment, but I guess while a gold rush is on you sell pickaxes right?
I'm sure what they are doing is valuable and they certainly have an interesting audience, I just don't have the imagination to understand what they plan on doing with it.
- bramgg 12y agoWell I think it's well known that Ryan plans on splitting it into many different communities "subreddit" style, I believe he even discussed the move with a co-founder of Reddit on his podcast. $6 million is a lot of money though, so you'd think there was something more.
- capkutay 12y ago"but I guess while a gold rush is on you sell pickaxes right?" Translation: anything that doesn't seem useful or profitable can be analogous to selling pickaxes during the gold rush
- programminggeek 12y agoNo, I meant it. There are quite a lot of VC's and angel investors throwing money around (gold rush), so instead of being the companies trying to get investment (digging for gold), product hunt is connecting investors to products (selling pickaxes), though I guess they must be successful enough to be invested in, so that sort of spoils the metaphor I guess.
