Sleek Pay

After an exhausting launch, we won Product of the Week!

How we did it:

1. Active in PH for months before, creating relationships with other hunters
2. Posted a G-sheet that people could share their launches & support each other
3. DM'ed successful hunters on Twitter & LinkedIn for advice (but can't be annoying about it, be genuine)
4. DM'ed founders on different time zones that could support us throughout the day
5. Planted a few comments with trustworthy sources
6. Online right at 12:01am PST. The first few hours are critical
7. Always had at least one person responding to comments

Everyone will have their own strategy, but sharing a few pointers for the broader community!

Sleek was part of the Summer 2021 Y Combinator batch!

We had an awesome experience during YC, and would strongly recommend it (especially for 1st time founders). The partners have seen thousands of startups succeed and fail. If they can't help you, no one can.

Our team of 3 founders actually moved down to California for the summer - if possible, do it in-person. Meeting other founders was fun and inspiring. It's a network I'll cherish and be proud of forever.
