Introducing Siftery Creator Stories

Siftery’s long-term mission is to help business users get more done by discovering, buying and making better use of their technology stack. The software revolution requires getting the software in the right hands, but it can be daunting to choose among thousands of options available for every role (Siftery is currently tracking over 13,000 products), added to the increasing complexity of software interoperability — some tools just play better together.

Everyone on the Siftery team has had the experience of dealing with frustrating software that doesn’t meet our needs, or finding just the right one that changes the way we work and makes us 10 times more efficient than before.

We love software and we realize that behind every great product there’s a story and a team. To celebrate creators and the products they bring into the world, we decided to launch Siftery Creator Stories. I’m personally very excited about this launch, and it’s one of the main reasons I wanted to work with the Siftery team.

Creator Stories is a series of interviews with founders and builders sharing about the problem they’re solving, what motivates them, what makes them unique, interesting use cases, as well as what they use to build their product/company. Through doing these interviews, we want to celebrate creators and also give buyers a better narrative and understanding for why they should use a software product.

Before joining Siftery, I was one of the most active users on Product Hunt and I’m still an active contributor. Over the past few years, I have “hunted” over 1,200 products — a majority of them B2B software — and these products have been “upvoted” almost 250,000 times. I love doing this because I get to meet product creators and learn about their journeys. Building a product is hard, and growing a company to sustain it is even harder. I know as I’ve been a founder myself.

Siftery can play a unique role in helping drive the software revolution by making it easier for great products to be found, and for the best software to get into the right hands.

Thanks to all the awesome creators who inspire us and gave us their time to get this project started. To the rest of our community — we hope you’ll enjoy reading these stories. And if you have a story of your own that you’d like to share, just drop us a line at hello@siftery.com.
