Hi Friends of HackerNoon,
Sometime in the last 30 days, 42,434 startups across 4,553 cities all around the world were nominated by at least three or more people (your favorite startup might have been one of them, even!) Over 70,000 people have eagerly cast their votes (have you?). Almost 200 startup founder journey have been published, and counting.
Today, we closed the nominations and would like to formally declare open season on the ‘Vote’ button for YOUR FAVORITE STARTUP in your favorite city. Voting opens for the next 4-ish month and close on January 26, 2022.
Share that link with your family, friends, tweet it at your favourite celeb, and anybody who might vote for you. Ask them to smash that ‘Vote’ button in front of...you know the drill. (Here's a handy tutorial on how to vote, in case you need it)
Because I like you so much, I’m going to share some cheat codes so Your Favorite Startup can win Startups of the Year. But don’t tell anyone. |
You may be wondering: “How can I make sure my favorite startup stand a chance of winning against Company_X that is wayyy bigger?”
We got you, fam!
Only 38% of all recipients are reading this and we’re giving you a leg up -- a ‘cheat code’ if you will. There’s a twist in the voting mechanism.
Everybody’s vote is worth one vote. But, if ‘somebody’ creates a FREE account on hackernoon.com, ‘their’ vote is worth 3x as much.
Here’s the kicker - if you have at least 1 published story on HackerNoon, your vote is worth 10x as much. Don’t have time to write a story? Well, only 64% of those who opened this email read to the middle and if that’s you, here’s your lucky day. We have a PLETHORA of Writing Prompts waiting for you. Some Example Prompts you can click on: 59 Questions Will Farrell style The Good Company Interview The Philosophy Interview
Fill it up and hit submit!!!
Read some of the interviews other startups have submitted here. If your story is accepted too - congrats!! You’re now a HackerNoon contributor and your vote is now worth 10x as much.
Congrats on that, you may bask in the glory! Maybe share it on your social media - Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn. You name it. Anything else? We were saving the best for last for the 12% of you who read our newsletters till the end.
HackerNoon’s Startups of the Year is sponsored by -- among other sponsors -- Blockster.com - a social media platform for all things crypto and venture capital.
Thus, if you’re looking to: Get discovered by VCs for investment Get invited for FREE Ask Me Anythings Get FREE Banner AD space worth $500 Get a verified checkmark on your Blockster company page
Simply go to blockster.com, see that over 400k+ people are on the waitlist, sign up for the waitlist anyways, AND here’s the important part - write an email to [email protected] asking for all four items above.
First, they’ll grant you early access to their platform - for being a friend of Hacker Noon! Then, you’ll get the other items mentioned in the checklist above. |
...and with that, we’re calling a wrap on this newsletter. May the best hustler get their favorite startup rated as the best in their city. We have one last important bit of advice: These are HackerNoon’s social links - Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn | Instagram. If you add a new social post, it’ll show up at the top. Do that a few times a week to keep showing up at the top.
This is when HootSuite thinks is the best time to post on social media.
Use it well. Promise to not spam though, okay? If you spam and my COO fires me, there will be no cheat codes for you next year!
Your unfair-advantage-provider,
