LaunchPact is a launch coordination network for founders preparing a Product Hunt launch. List your upcoming launch, discover what other makers are building, and commit to showing up for the launches you care about. When two founders commit to each other, a pact forms: a two-way agreement to be present on each other's launch day. LaunchPact tracks follow-through, so you know who actually shows up. Built by Ammar (@ammar_in_tech) at launchpact.io.
Key Features
- Mutual Pacts - Forms only when both founders independently commit. No one can obligate you.
- Verified Follow-Through - Participation confirmed by screenshot, checked automatically in seconds.
- Trust Score - A reliability record from past pacts, visible before you commit to anyone.
- Smart Reminders - Automated notifications so no partner's launch day slips past you.
- Free Listings, 10 Pacts - Free to list; activation ($24 launch discount) removes the cap.
- Launch Day Report - Next-day report on network activity, Product Hunt rank, and comments.
- Indexed Launch Page - Activated launches get a searchable page with a dofollow backlink.
- Real Makers Only - Every account is a founder with a real Product Hunt profile and product.
Who is it for?
- Indie hackers and solo founders - build a launch-day audience without an existing following.
- First-time launchers - meet makers and line up support before your debut.
- Startup teams - coordinate founders who know your launch is happening.
- Founders tired of chaotic launch groups - reliability records instead of group chats.

FAQ
How is this different from a launch group or vote ring? Vote rings run on obligation: everyone hits every link regardless of whether they looked at the product. LaunchPact is the opposite. You choose what to commit to, pacts exist only when both founders chose each other, and launch day is your judgment call. Nothing is bought, automated, or bot-driven.
Does this comply with Product Hunt's guidelines? Product Hunt encourages makers to rally the people who care about what they're building, and that's what LaunchPact organizes. What's prohibited - bought votes, bots, fake accounts, incentivized voting - is exactly what LaunchPact makes unnecessary.
What gets verified, and why? A screenshot confirming you were there on your partner's launch day. The reason is accountability: the common failure in launch communities is people agreeing to show up and then vanishing.
What is a trust score? Your reliability record across past pacts. Following through raises it; leaving partners hanging lowers it. Visible on every founder when browsing launches.
Can I join if I've never launched on Product Hunt? Yes, many members are first-time launchers. That's the position where knowing a few other founders makes the biggest difference.
