YOUR STARTUP?
Hacker

CONTEXT
We’re a SaaS startup called Front. We did our official launch after 8 months
of beta mid-June and got featured on 3 channels: Hacker News,
TechCrunch and Product Hunt. We analyzed how each channel worked out
for us and want to share the results with you.

(during the 24 hours following the post)
Number of companies signed up
(during the 24 hours following the post)
Number of qualified leads
(company that adds a shared inbox and invites at least 1 teammate)
Number of shares
(Twitter mainly – still during the 24 hours following the post)
HACKER NEWS

Conversion Rate 1.55%
See the post and comments here.
TECHCRUNCH
Onboarding rate 62%
Conversion Rate 6.98%

PRODUCT HUNT

See the post and comments here.
RECAP
TAKEAwayS
Hacker News was great for bringing visitors on our website, with
actually more than both other channels combined. It also brought
us a few job applications.
TechCrunch brought us the most signups as well as the most
qualified leads.
Product Hunt enabled us to connect with really great companies
and investors.
THANKS!
