From side project Product Hunt launches to a Namecheap acquisition.

Startup Website Builder - Launchaco

Some of you may have seen Launchaco, but their team is a pair of talented makers who were bootstrapping a website builder product. But their execution and overall process is a great lesson and style for other makers on IH.

Started as a Side Project: Domain and Social Media handle search engine

Takeaway
For those of us on IH that enjoy launching multiple side projects in a year, perhaps packaging them up within a single project is a better strategy to help grow a business.

Cheers to Cam and Marc!

    Next to content marketing, I see side projects (or free useful tools) as thé (great) way to market your product. Great takeaway! 👍

  2. 1

    I'm more towards following this approach rather than launching 12 startups in 12 months.
