Introducing Ambassadors: For Makers, By Makers
When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn’t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn’t know where I fit in.
But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.
That first launch became Product of the Day.
We were later nominated for Product of the Year.
In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.
And now in 2025, I’ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!
It’s a small group of Makers who get it – and are here to give back.
We’re here to help you feel less alone. To cheer you on. To answer questions, review launch plans, or just give honest feedback. Each of us brings our own perspective, experience, and passion for what the Product Hunt community stands for.
👋 I’m one of the Ambassadors right now, but you can identify other Ambassadors by the Ambassador badge on their profile. @chrismessina, @fmerian, and @busmark_w_nika are some others, who are willing to help. If you ever need support or just want to talk through your launch, we’d love to hear from you!

This is a great idea. I am in your shoes right now, getting ready to launch in two days. Not sure if there is something I am forgetting or missing. Not sure if anyone will upvote my product and feeling intimidated by the entire process.

@jeremy_ferguson Thanks a ton for taking the time to leave a comment, especially when you’re busy I truly appreciate it. I’m sorry I missed the timing to support your launch. But remember, launch day isn’t the end it's just the beginning!
After my own launch, one of the things I focused on was reaching out to more people who were similar to our early users those who had signed up or tried our product. If I recall correctly, I contacted tens of thousands of potential users over the course of a month. I hope sharing this helps you as your product continues to grow.
If you have any more questions or worries, please feel free to ask anytime!
Congrats @elly_sp - Saw your post on Linkedin - congrats on the new badge - submitted an interest form! Hope they think I'm ambassador material haha

Such an inspiring journey, Elly! Congrats on becoming an Ambassador! Can’t wait to see more from you and the community! 🙌
Hi guys! I'm so glad to see you here. This is a great honor and also a great responsibility. Let's make everybody launch their ideas in the best way possible. Happy to connect (and re-connect) with you!
Just found your post.
I am in the same situation you mentioned and just launched. TBH. I have no clue what will happen. But it is, in any case, one more experience, and this is great.
I am curious what's need for the program and how to be of help
