"Product Hunting" huh? Nice touch with the typewriter JS on your front page! This a great idea, good work.
Erik Chan
@fotoflo Nice, I hoped someone would catch that :) Super appreciative of the PH community!
Joel Burke
This is a great idea, definitely solving the problem of how to get early stage startups that initial group of early adopters! Can't wait to use it!
Paul Chen

I've always thought there should be a way to crowd-source support for startups, but never really had a good idea on how it could be done. This is a great shot at it! Takes a village to build a startup, and RocketClub seems to be the bridge to the village. Consider me a supporter :)
Erik Chan
@alirtariq It does take a village to build a startup. Hopefully we will pave the path for a new way for all future startups.

How does this work if you need the early users to use the product on a regular basis? I would only want to offer equity if the person was contributing to the product on a weekly basis for 4 years. Does this operate on a vesting schedule like early employees? I love the idea, but trying to wrap my head around the inner workings of it.
Erik Chan
@brandwagon Thanks for the comment. Contributing to your product on a weekly basis for 4 years sounds steep! Our platform helps a startup track member engagement over 1-12 months, and the member only receives their share once they've completed all the tasks over the specified time period. The idea is to connect your company with people who believe in your product/company, users will leave if they lose hope or feel mistreated. We don't believe golden handcuffs is the solution to a product people no longer find interesting. Email me erik@rocketclub.co if you need a demo!

@rocketclubco @brandwagon If there were a vesting schedule though, I think that would be fair. If the user contributed for the 1st year and then left, they still deserve 25% of what was promised - not all of it. Same as if an early employee called it quits, they would take their vested equity with them.
Erik Chan
@brandwagon I guess its possible depending on how much of your company you plan to share with your community? I feel like we're exploring new territory here. I'd LOVE to see a company give out more than 50% one day. That would change the game.

Really like the concept, just applied to be part of the fun & for RocketClub. Planning on trying to get a venture listed with cofounders!
Erik Chan
@noinput Awesome. I'm glad you find it fun. Shouldn't be taken too seriously :)
