Who is the owner of Product Hunt?

Question

Is this a private company owned by its founder?

It seems that Wikipedia does not talk about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_Hunt

I do not see that information on producthunt.com either.

Accepted Answer

Ryan Hoover sold it to Angel List (owned by Naval)

The owner of Product Hunt is Ryan Hoover, who founded the platform back in 2013. It's like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, much like finding an Easter egg in a video game!

@zalkazemi Why did Naval buy that? I do not see the synergies between AngelList and Product Hunt. It's strange I could not find much information about that.

Product Hunt is owned by AngelList, a platform that connects startups with angel investors and job seekers. AngelList acquired Product Hunt for $20 million in December 2016.

Since then, Product Hunt has had several CEOs, including Ryan Hoover (founder), Josh Buckley, Ashley Higgins, and the current CEO, Rajiv Ayyangar.
