It's a pretty detailed account on how it happened

Did people use this hack before? Like ProductHunt API + Twitter dump + Linkedin Dump to get support from your direct network?

I thought it was an original "growth hack" from our CTO, Mario, but who knows :)

Just some extra numbers of the hack: - Number of LinkedIn + Twitter contacts of the whole team together => around 17.000 contacts (mostly Linkedin) - Number of those ones who matched a Product Hunt Account with the hack => around 2.400 Product Hunt accounts - Number of those PH accounts with upvotes >= 1 (so the user is somehow active on the past and knows how PH works) => around 1.200 accounts

So we secured 1.200 "somehow active" existing Product Hunt account users in our close network (1st degree LinkedIn + Twitter followers) who we could reach and share or launch with.
