Ranked #4 worldwide on ProductHunt and got featured in the newsletter but what's next?

So the love and support was incredible and our tiny startup ranked #4 overall (link: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/figura). I am pretty sure we could get no. 1 if we did launch on weekends or something but launching on Tuesday is brutal. Our competition was with big VC-backed cos with heavy funding. Those who have launched it on PH before know exactly what I am talking about.

Huge credit goes to the co-founder of Figura, Denis, and the of course Jim (@d__raptis on Twitter) for hunting our product. Of course, it wouldn't be possible without 2 of them. >> Quick lesson: you don't always have to do stuff all alone. Find some good people who can help you accelerate and in return give them your best and always make sure that your startup comes first before your egos.

Yesterday got an email from Producthunt that our product has been featured in their newsletter. Was super happy about that. Of course, the traffic to our website was through the roof, and along with us, our roaster of designers was also happy.

Alright, so what's next? What happened after we got featured and got ranked? Did we get any leads? Talk business G. The answer is YES. We indeed got some good leads and we are looking forward to having them onboard. >> Quick lesson: Building in public is hard but fruitful. You get to meet so many amazing people and of course, it's good for the authenticity of your business and yourself.

Launching on PH was a good experience. Now we are doubling down on creating more content (blog and newsletter coming soon so make sure you are connected)

Our processes are becoming more efficient and we are def. seeing demand for this. Hiring a top-notch designer without a job post, without interviewing and no headaches with free talent replacement - isn't cool? >> Quick reminder here: Don't fall in love with your company/startup at the initial stages. Otherwise, it will be hard to pivot when/if needed. Don't make assumptions and make data-driven decisions totally based on logic.

Gotta go now. Meeting with clients soon so let you guys know how did it go... Enjoy your weekends!
