Why Product Hunt leads convert
A launch is a moment of change: founders are hiring, buying tools and looking for users. They are also unusually reachable — makers list their names and links on their launch pages.
What you can collect
Prospect Cheap's Product Hunt scraper finds launches by keyword, category and date, and returns:
- product, tagline, description, categories and pricing
- launch date, day/week/month rank, upvotes, comments, rating and reviews
- makers and the owner — name, title, email, LinkedIn and X
- website, company email, company LinkedIn and X, followers
Good filters
- Launched in the last 7 or 30 days — timely outreach
- 100+ upvotes — traction
- Has email / Has owner name — ready to contact
What founders buy after launch
- growth and SEO content to keep traffic coming
- design, development and contract talent
- tools for analytics, onboarding, billing and support
- investors and advisors
The first email
"Congrats on the launch, Sam — #3 product of the day is a big deal. Traffic usually drops sharply a week later; we help teams turn launch traffic into an SEO plan. Want the checklist we use?"

Category and keyword ideas
Product Hunt has hundreds of categories, from AI and developer tools to marketing, productivity and design. Prospect Cheap's category list matches Product Hunt's, so you can target exactly the space you serve — or combine a keyword with a category for precision.
Build a daily habit
Launches happen every day. A short daily or weekly search for "last 7 days" in your categories keeps a steady stream of brand-new companies in your pipeline, while they are still choosing their tools and partners.
Don't ignore older launches
Products that launched a year ago and are still online have survived — many now have revenue and budgets. Use date ranges to reach them too, and check the No longer online flag to skip dead products.
