BuildHop points are designed to reward the things that make the platform more useful: discovering new products, voting, giving thoughtful feedback, and helping other founders.
As you participate, you earn points that can be used to give your own launch another wave of visibility or collect more feedback.
How to earn BuildHop points
You can earn points throughout BuildHop by hopping through launches and participating in the founders feed.
Hopping and feedback
Finish a hop: 20 points
Skip or leave a hop incomplete: 10 points
Vote on a launch: 5 points
Leave approved feedback: 50 points
Leave approved feedback on a launch with an active feedback boost: 150 points
A feedback boost gives hoppers a larger reward for leaving useful, approved feedback on a specific launch.
Participating in the founders feed
Create a post: 10 points
Reply to a post: 5 points
Reply to feedback on the founders feed: 50 points
The goal is not to reward activity for the sake of activity. Points are earned for helping launches get discovered, sharing useful reactions, and contributing to conversations between builders.
What BuildHop points are worth
Your points can be redeemed for tools that bring attention and feedback back to your launch.
Return to the seven-day leaderboard
Cost: 7,000 points
Put your launch back into the seven-day leaderboard so it can compete for visibility again, even if its original launch week has already passed.
Get seven days of promoted discovery
Cost: 5,000 points
Add your launch to the promoted hop discovery rotation for seven days. This gives it more opportunities to appear while people are actively hopping through products.
Run a feedback boost
Cost: 5,000 points
Ask the founders feed for feedback and reward hoppers with 150 points for leaving approved feedback on your launch.
The boost lasts for seven days and gives the community a stronger incentive to spend time exploring your product and sharing something useful.
Points turn participation into momentum
BuildHop points create a loop between helping other founders and growing your own launch.
You can earn them by exploring products, voting, sharing feedback, and joining conversations. Then you can use them to bring your launch back into discovery or gather more feedback.
The more useful you are to the community, the more opportunities you earn to put your own work in front of it.
