Introducing
Summary
Today we are unveiling Prologue, a flywheel of tech and media brands that will help founders navigate a world where capital is abundant, attention is scarce, and Silicon Valley is decentralizing. Prologue is a holding company that today brings together two brands: Hyper, a $60 million early-stage venture firm, and Product Hunt, the longtime home to early-stage innovation in tech. Over $100B in start-up value has been launched on Product Hunt since its start in 2013, including the likes of Stripe, Airtable, Zoom, and Robinhood, and every day future unicorns come to the site in search of their first true fans. Having Hyper and Product Hunt operate within this new parent company gives us strong competitive advantages to identify and fund the best founders, and provide them with high-quality distribution and a world-class tech community. With this financing, we’re glad to welcome Sriram to the Prologue Board, where his expertise as both an operator and investor at some of the worlds largest social and community driven platforms will prove valuable to both our team and our founders.
