Something new from the @ProductHunt team
Hyper is a new kind of early-stage venture firm. They invest $300k in a small number of companies, 4 times a year. They will also help founders with distribution, community, mentorship, and talent.

2/ Building products has become easier over time, but distribution is harder than ever before.
Excited for Hyper to leverage the @ProductHunt community to grow early stage startups.
This is a really interesting and differentiated approach in a sea of sameness that is venture.
OMG π€© they did it! PH is launching a community-based venture firm.
Now itβs not only about being The product of the day! Itβs mentorship, funding, network, community support - and so much more.
this is something worth celebrating πππ
This is just a smart and powerful step forward for the Product Hunt community (and investing in general). Congrats to @joshbuckley and Product Hunt team for the launch of Hyper.
Can you imagine access to the distribution muscle of @ProductHunt? And mentorship from some of the best product-centric operators?
Timely launch from Hyper team, v excited for founders π
In the past, a lot of the biggest challenges a startup would face would be around building the product
Today, it more of a challenge to build distribution and a real community
Hyper is a new fund which focuses on helping you solve these problems π

Excited for @joshbuckley friends over at @hyper_. Hyper is a new kind of venture firm and founder program, inspired by the Product Hunt community.
Big update for the ProductHunt maker community π
It makes so much sense with PH's distribution network and access to talented mentors.
4 cohorts a year | 8-week programme | invest $300k for 5%
Hyper is focused on startup companies, not tokens.
The offer is competitive with YC terms.
It is about helping new founders get moving quickly.
Different world to crypto startups.
Brilliant combination @joshbuckley! π
Will be fun to watch the combination power of this into the next decade.
It is simple, @joshbuckley plays chess when everyone else plays checkers.
This is another example with @hyper_ of Josh changing the game & innovating in a unique way.
Proud for @twentyminutevc to be a Partner and immensely proud of you my friend. π

PHantastic new program from Product Hunt . Great for founders to get a great focus and learnings from this community
So much of a startup's success comes down to distribution.
If an investor can give you money AND distribution.... that's super compelling.
Huge congrats @joshbuckley and team!
Strong endorse. @Hyper_ is going to be a great program for founders.
Inspiring to watch @joshbuckley move.
He is one of the best in the new breed of venture capitalists that break all lines across founder, venture capitalist, private equity buyouts, and distribution.
Watch out old people π₯π₯π₯
and his all-star team never cease to impress & deliver. Congrats to everyone that made this launch happen. Can't wait to see the transformative companies you help build.
Josh is the most valuable investor youβll have on your cap table. This is an incredible opportunity for founders!
I am so excited to see where this goes and thrilled to be an LP. WTG @joshbuckley @dcurtis
I loved YC and hope they continue to do well, but itβs great to see high-quality competition at the pre-seed/accelerator level. Congrats @joshbuckley!
πππ Congrats @joshbuckley @jonthnchoi and @ProductHunt @hyper_ team on the launch!π Brilliant move leveraging PH community and distribution to add value to early-stage founders. Excited to see how this disrupts the accelerator ecosystem!
Where talent goes, capital flows
Hyper will become an unfair advantage for any early stage founders who're accepted

Incredibly impressed with what @joshbuckley & team is doing here.
An early stage fund that not only provides capital, mentorship, but also (!!) distribution via its sister companies / partnerships.
Excited to see the startups that come out of this program.
So excited for what @joshbuckley and @hyper_ are building.
Capital + Community + Mentorship + Distribution = Your Competitive Edge.
We can think of fewer teams on earth more dedicated to founders than @ProductHunt. Everyone's been wondering what the next big *thing* in venture is going to be and we have a pretty good feeling about this. π
Congrats to @Hyper_ and the team!
