Hey validators!

I'm building (waitlist only, 27 seats remaining for the founding team members) a community of highly engaged and motivated startup founders who want to help lift others up and also get the full unified power and focus of the community for 24 hours in return. How long it takes to get "on the stage" with your startup will depend on how much effort you put in.

It's a gamified system, with real people real marketing activities (content creation, reviews, social media posts, lead generation and sales calls++. Ultimately you get so much more out of working together with others than what you would be able to on your own.

Other than the mission system, you'll also be able to form real lasting connections with other founders, and can start your own squads for your inner circle.

I'm also considering making membercount a strictly limited number + invite only where you have to stay active or you're out. Too many of these communities are just people dropping their own pitch, gather some (internal) upvotes and comments which doesn't really have much impact anyway, then leave.

I would love for this to become a place where people can come to chat, help others grow and validate their ideas, test out your own ideas, pitch them, put them on the stage and have the crowd lif you up.

Sign up now, I'll go live once the waitlist is solid enough with the initial founding members.

Hoping for some constructive feedback, signups - and feel free to DM me as well!

Cheers, and have a great hump day!

Hey r/startups_promotion,

I am building HypeDay because I keep seeing the same pattern: founders pour months into a product, launch on Product Hunt, get a spike for 24 hours, then disappear. The problem isn't the product. It's that no one shows up in a coordinated way when it actually matters.

What is it?

HypeDay is a community-powered launch platform. Every day, one startup gets featured for 24 hours. The community completes real tasks for that startup (sharing on socials, leaving reviews, signing up, writing blog posts, recording testimonials) and earns credits for it. Those credits move them up the queue to be the next featured startup.

The core idea: give before you take.

Before you ever get featured, you help other startups. So by the time your launch day comes, you're not begging strangers for attention. You've got a community of people who know how to launch things, showing up for you.

Who is it for?

Early-stage founders with a real product who want a coordinated launch push, not a passive directory listing. Also for people who love discovering early startups and want to get rewarded for actually supporting them. You'll make real lasting connections!

How it stands out:

  • Not a directory. Your startup doesn't sit on a list hoping someone scrolls by.
  • Not pay-to-win only. The main feature is a free track where you earn your spot by contributing.
  • Tasks are real: app store reviews, Product Hunt upvotes, Reddit posts, video testimonials, Content, referrals, lead gen, Stuff that actually moves the needle.
  • Everything happens in a 24-hour window.

Would love feedback from people who've launched before. What would make this useful (or not) for your next launch?
