About

Hi! I took my first steps as a founder in 2006. I’ve had my share of setbacks, but my biggest success was Mailshake, which was bootstrapped and generated ~$20M in revenue during my tenure. Now I’m going solo and am aiming to build a $1M company in public via weekly videos on YouTube. The product I’ve built is called Dropboard which creates a straightforward hiring process, starting with showing open jobs on your company site.

I decide what's featured on the leaderboard - AMA w/ Gabe from Product Hunt

Hi everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard.

First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON.  But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process isn't perfect, but we're trying to do right by the community.
