Excited to announce the Cosign Awards: celebrating exceptional people, companies, and products that had a massive impact in 2026.
cosign.co/awards
Anyone can nominate and vote. Award winners will be chosen by the public in conjunction with a panel of judges, including industry leaders like @lennysan, @packyM, @amasad, and many more. We’ll host an event in December honoring the winners (10 per category).
For people categories, we’re mostly focused on everyone except the CEO–everyone else building the company behind the scenes.
Companies with the most amount of people nominations will be listed on our “Top Companies to Work For” page.
True to form, at Product Hunt I helped launch the Golden Kitty awards a decade ago to recognize great products. Soon after I launched the Rise Awards, honoring executives and ICs building companies that make them. The Cosign Awards is the next iteration.

we’ve found that working with enterprise brands means taking compliance seriously: clear ad disclosures, properly licensed audio, and creative built with paid distribution in mind.
you can make high-performing UGC without sacrificing transparency or brand safety

backing 2 more founders this year. would love to chat with folks building in AI / agents space.
all these personal AI assistants raising $20M–$100M feels like a cold war over who becomes everyone’s default assistant first
“Just post organically and boost the winners.”
bad advice.
the second someone sees “Sponsored,” their guard goes up. you have less time to earn attention.
paid creative needs faster hooks, clearer product value, and a reason to keep watching.
organic winners CAN work in paid. but not every viral video is a good ad.

Introducing Catalyst.
What do you believe? How would you trade on it?
You notice data centers are popping-up everywhere, gold will skyrocket, or just know that Labubus will go out of fashion.
Catalyst researches your ideas, builds the optimal strategy, monitors events, and executes trades. Autonomously.

companies will look for this person and have the most boring product. truth is the people that fit this category actually care about what they're marketing
kinda crazy milestone for us 😭
