Borrow Distribution, Not Capital
Distribution is the hardest part of being early-stage. ProductClank makes it borrowable. Founders launch a campaign. Creators, growth scouts, and Product Hunt hunters bring the reach — and earn only when your product hits real milestones. No upfront ad spend. No equity. No begging for attention. You ship. They amplify. Everyone wins together. Season 1 is now open. Pick your role and sign up — founder, scout, creator, or hunter.

"Hey Product Hunt 👋When I started building ProductClank, I ran into the same wall every bootstrapped founder hits: I couldn't afford to pay creators upfront. Not because the product wasn't ready - but because the model was broken. You know what you pay, you don't know what you get.I wanted to build something where creators only win when the product actually wins.But the more I looked at it, the bigger the problem got. There's no shortage of great products, loyal audiences, or operators who know how to drive growth. What's missing is the coordination layer - a structure that aligns incentives so distribution flows toward products people actually believe in, not just products with the biggest ad budget.That's what ProductClank is. A platform where builders don't borrow capital to grow - they borrow distribution.We ran Season 0 to stress-test the model - $100K distributed to creators, real campaigns, real results. It worked. Now we're opening it up.Season 1 is the first full run. founders apply, creators and growth scouts vote on who makes the cohort - then run campaigns for the products they backed. Skin in the game before day one. Zero upfront. Everyone earns when it works.🏗️ Builders - Apply, get voted in, and grow. Bonus: offer fellow cohort members credits or a coupon to try your product - and get access to every other tool in the cohort.🎙️ Creators - Browse the cohort, vote for what you believe in, promote what you backed - and earn when it grows.🧭 Growth Scouts - Match your playbook to the right product. Earn when growth lands.Lean, curated, in public. Come join the experiment 👇"

"Thank you @rajiv_ayyangar for the support! you also been valuable in pushing me to go out and launch despite not feeling ready, and this is the best advice I got!We all want to perfect our product, messaging, visuals - but reality is things move so fast - it's better to get out there and get to chat and find how people react and what people care about.Thank you for helping us make it into the #1 spot on the Producthint The Pitch competition by @Deel @Deel !"

"Hi @lior_goldenberg3 , congrats on the launch. Really like the "borrow distribution instead of capital" angle, feels like the missing piece for bootstrapped founders. Curious how you keep the voting honest once cohorts get bigger?"

"This is an interesting concept that addresses the most common "bottleneck" for any developer or entrepreneur: discovery. It eliminates the risk of "burning" through a budget on ads that don't convert, which is vital in the early stages.I have two questions:How exactly do you track that a "milestone" was achieved thanks to a specific scout? If the product is a mobile app, current privacy policies (like Apple's) make frictionless tracking very complicated. It would be vital to know if you use a proprietary SDK or if you integrate with tools the user is already using.Who defines the value of that milestone and when is it paid? Paying for a free sign-up is not the same as paying for an annual subscription. If the cost per acquisition (CPA) they propose is higher than your initial profit margin, the "win-win" model breaks down for the founder."

"The concept of borrowed distribution is pretty interesting. Kind of the one most makers on PH needs. Joined the experiment as suggested"

"How do you match a founder with the right creators or hunters for their niche?"
