Lift is the model's Series A probability divided by the 0.78% base rate. Stage badges show the company's latest known round at scoring time.

How these predictions are made

Every featured Product Hunt launch is scored the following weekend using only signals visible on launch day: votes, comments, daily rank, maker count and follower reach, topic, and launch timing. The model is the champion of the PHBench leaderboard, which reaches 4.7x lift over random on a held-out test set. A separate funding check then flags companies that already raised a Series A or later, so the weekly newsletter only features companies still ahead of that round. Read the analytics for what drives rank and funding, or get the picks by email every week from the predictions page.

Scored 2026-10-05. Archive of all weeks: phbench.com/predictions.
