Beginner Maps How following his curiosity in public helped Sharath unlock new opportunities
Sharath Kuruganty has worked with some iconic community led companies like Product Hunt, OnDeck and currently Threado, where he is the Head of Community.
A fun fact - Threado’s co-founder, Pramod Rao was guest no. 2 on this show. So this conversation has been a long time coming. What made it happen this time is Sharath's recent win where he sold his side project Shoutout to a UK based product studio. He started building this project about two years ago and reached $30k ARR with it.

- Creating Shoutout
- How to approach selling when you are not a salesperson
- Building in public aka Power of the internet
