Linh Dao Smooke's profile on Product Hunt

About

✌️, I'm Linh. I run HackerNoon, a tech publication with 45k+ writers and 5-8M + monthly readers and also a software company built by a small team of 20 (13 fte). We raised almost $3M for HackerNoon so far, valuing the company at $50M. My husband and I proudly remain the majority shareholders of HackerNoon, as we do not believe in diluting our values to the VCs 😉 On the other hand, we do have almost 1,300 total shareholders ☺️ Hacker Noon is built to optimize the readers experience with no paywall, no popups. Everything you see onsite is built inhouse, from our CMS to our custom voting software that powers Noonies and Startups of the Year.
