Live on ProductHunt, competing next to a $6,000,000 startup. Any advice on how to win?

hi all,

so we’re currently on ProductHunt (today, September 12th), competing next to a startup that raised $6,000,000.

we’re currently #2.

BUT

but we’re just two people who went working on their own stuff full-time, doing everything ourselves, bootstapping our app from zero.

currently between $1K - $1.5K MRR btw.

what should we do to win today? any advice?

    If you're #2, you already won. The only thing I could think of is maybe improve your GIF animation

    In 2009 started a coworking space in Portland, OR a year before WeWork was founded. Our coworking space (NedSpace) was profitable in the first 30 days, WeWork never was. Sold NedSpace in 2021 and it's still an ongoing business today. Don't worry about them at #1, just focus on building a great business yourself. Good luck.

    Lol you won by not having $6m in debt (yes I know it is not technically debt but it is not free money either!)

    You can see the top 3 products on the Product Hunt landing page without scrolling, and I don't think there's much of a difference in traffic. So, I consider that a win, congrats.
