How it works

How EarlyHunt works

EarlyHunt is a weekly AI and startup launch platform on earlyhunt.com. Founders submit products; early adopters discover, upvote, and comment during a fixed launch week. It is for AI makers, indie hackers, and early-stage startups—not a general consumer app store.

Who it is for

  • Founders launching AI tools or digital products who want a timed weekly campaign, rankings, and lasting listing pages.
  • Early adopters hunting new AI products each week to try, upvote, and share.
  • Agents / integrators that need clear facts via /llms.txt, /openapi.json, or Markdown (.md URLs).

Weekly launch cadence

Projects go live Monday at 8:00 AM UTC and stay on the homepage for 7 days while collecting upvotes and comments. Top projects can earn Hall of Fame placement and winner badges. After the week, project pages and launch stories remain for SEO and ongoing discovery.
